Just Married :)

It's official... We're Married!
We had an amazing week/weekend of wedding bliss and spending time with our amazing friends and family. Unfortunately, Kyle and I got extremely sick a few days before but on our wedding day we pushed through the sickness and said "I DO!" We leave tomorrow for our Honeymoon and I sure am glad we waited a whole week. Could you imagine flying to Jamaica having the flu and strep throat, no thanks ;)

It's amazing how much time you (and in my case, my mother) spent so much time and effort putting this one night together and it only lasts for 8 hours from start to finish... Many people have asked me if I'm glad it's over or would I change anything... Answer is yes I'm glad it's over ;) I had the TIME of my life and I loved our venue, band, caterer and my amazing photographer but I do wish it would have lasted longer than 8 hours. I will post pictures after the honeymoon :)

On a different note...
I can't wait to get back to blogging about the "Truths" of Wedding Planning!

Wedding, Wedding, Wedding!

Wishing on that Wedding Weather...
I've become obsessed with looking at the weather every second of every day hoping I'm going to figure out what the weather will be Saturday, February 19th! From the looks of it, it will be warmer next week so that's a good thing. Just praying for no rain... so when you say your prayers, say a little one for BEAUTIFUL weather for me ;)

as much as i love this picture... i hope for sunshine :]

The {20} Day puzzle pieces are coming along great... Kyle had them all layed out trying to piece them together last night as I just giggled when half of them were in the wrong place :) We are on day [12] and I just can't BELIEVE it! There are so many last minute things to do this week and I am definitly looking forward when there is NOTHING else to do. I'm looking forward to my life going back to some sort of "normal." Once I'm done doing my "100 To Do" list then I'll be able to relax and actually enjoy the fact ... we are getting married! I'm so excited about all of our friends and family coming into town next week. Our first visitors- Kyle's Dad, Stepmom Gina and brother Christopher all the way from Hawaii :) They'll be here Valentine's Day and we're super excited! All of my family coming from Texas will be here next Thursday and I can't wait! Once things are calm I'll be able to do more "Wedding Myth" blogs... until then I'll be wedding planning :]

So much to do, So little time :]

Six weeks ago I started this blog. Six weeks ago I thought to myself "Two weeks will never be here..." ha! Two weeks before the wedding... is Saturday. I sit here and think {almost midnight} of all the things I should be doing and all the things that should have been done ummm 6 weeks ago. I imagined my last two weeks before the wedding were going to be relaxing and laid back and just enjoying the exciting BIG day coming up... yeah nooo way! I haven't finished wedding favors, Mom is yelling at my about the programs, honeymoon isn't booked {completely}, need to re-arrange the house for our out of town visitors, haven't finished purchasing gifts & accessories, Mom's dress hasn't come in yet {yikes!}, need to finish slideshow, need to print pictures out... oh the list goes on! I guess I just think it's going to happen on its own... ha, not gonna happen. I'm more ready for this Honeymoon {that isn't completely booked, yet!} to be here than I thought! All this running around and freaking out and loosing sleep for ONE day... Better be worth it ;)

On a good note... Kyle and I completed our last counseling session with our pastor from our church {one more session with the other counselor... we must have big issues ;) } and at the end of the counseling he told us he wanted to show us what to be expected the day of wedding. So we actually went through the whole thing of the vows and the exchanging of rings and the "kiss the bride" and I got butterflies like no other! Kyle must have been nervous because just when we were practicing he was squeezing my hand so hard my pinky was being pinched by my ring {poor guy gets nervous easily- bad thing is it was just me and pastor in the room- imagine 200 people looking at him! ha} It was pretty surreal.

Hope to all have wedding related "Things To Do" completed by end of the weekend... I would like to actually enjoy some time right before the wedding :) Super siked Kyle's dad, stepmom, and little brother will be here a week from this Monday ... can't wait!

Day [19]
