38 Days

Chris and I are getting MARRIED in 38 days! What? Holy Crap! This is real! We've already had our wedding showers and our bachelor/bachelorette parties are this weekend! Oh my goodness! How did I get so lucky to be marrying my best friend? 10 years worth of friendship, 5 years of dating, 10 months of being engaged and we're finally almost there! I can see everything coming together, I can see our marriage being official. I know I still have a good deal on my to do list, but I know it will all be accomplished. The wedding is not as important as the marriage, so even if stuff doesn't get finished, the wedding will still go on. Our marriage will last longer than our wedding.

Stuff off of our list:


  • Vows written
  • Met with Father David
  • Brides maids dresses back in town
  • Wedding Shoes
  • Wedding Dress
  • Invitations Sent
  • Thank You Cards sent
  • Honeymoon Booked
  • Bridal Showers
  • Gifts for Flower Girls/Ring Bearers
  • Signs for wedding
  • Florist Booked
  • Deejay Booked

  • Wedding Cakes ordered
  • Wedding bands bought
  • Wedding Ceremony Order Typed 
  • Music During Wedding Picked out
  • First Dace

This is all off of the top of my head. I've gotten a lot accomplished, but my to do list is just about as long.


  • Gifts for bridesmaids/groomsmen
  • Pick up bridesmaids dresses
  • Get groomsmen sized
  • Get mother of the bride and mother of the groom gifts
  • Pay remaining balance of florist
  • Confirm price of cake and determine if the cakes will be delivered or if they need to be picked up
  • Print Signing Picture

  • Decide on rehearsal dinner outfit
  • Decide on going away outfit
  • Get gift for my groom
  • Find animal sitter
  • Clean out refrigerator
  • Paint house
  • Clean house (deep clean)
  • Stock up on animal food
  • Get rings cleaned
  • Make Wedding favors
  • Buy hugs and kisses for wedding favors
  • Type thank you note for wedding favors
  • Get dress hemmed and new string for corset
Once again, this is just off the top of my head. I have a lot to do, but luckily the things I have left to do are not big, there's just a lot to do. I will finish everything, and I will do it with a smile on my face. I am aware that this is not a very informative blog, but it helped me to see my lists written down and so I can see what will take more time than others.

Goodnight.
