Makeup
Makeup Madness!
I had my trial makeup about 2 weeks ago, and ummm i hated it. I'm the type of person who wears alot of makeup and im into dark eye make up especially.

Did you ever look the mirror and almost not recognize yourself when someone else did your make up?

Did i make a mistake hiring this lady! Shes supposed to be amazing, and i didnt feel like she knew anything about makeup.

I've posted some pictures advice anyone?

Ask a Question
Rehersal Dinner
I'm stumped when it comes to this. Its taken me weeks and weeks and i still have nothing.

Our venue doesnt allow us to practice on the night before. Sinces its january we cant do it outside

the hotel wants me to pay 250 bucks!

Most of the wedding party cant make it until around 730-8 so i dont want to have a huge meal.

What other options are there? like a restaurant, the hotel lobby, the hallway pizza, chinese food?

I'm stumped!

STRESS
Totally feeling the time crunch!
So i havent written in a VERY long time. Between work and wedding there isnt much else. Finding time to keep up with a blog is like finding time to do my laundry and cleaning... seldom!

We're basically good to go other then a few minor details. Like kicking someone of the wedding party. Who does that! me i guess.. i just cant get over how people act. Its beyond me why you have to find out who your real friends are while trying to plan something so amazing! I'm sure there are more of you out there! Girls are bitches i guess, thats the bottom line. Anyways i'm really happy with people who are left, they've been super amazing! My wedding showers went amazing! have some very funny pictures in our toliet paper dresses!

Things left to do

-programs
-seating arrangements
-getting back all my invitations and following up
-music
-vows
-trial hair and makeup
-wearing my shoes so i can frigin walk when the time comes!
-speaches
-marriage liscense

how much do you have left at this point in the game! :
