It's amazing...I am so excited and full of anticipation about the wedding! However, I really wish I had something to fill my time a little more. Even with the last minute errands and organization, I still feel like I have too much time to sit around and think about things!
The last few days I have just been an eager and fidgety bride! I keep tapping my fingers, my leg doesn't seem to stop and it's wearing me out! I feel like I need a nap :-)
Tonight is the wedding rehearsal, so fortunately we take everything that will be needed for the wedding and drop it off with the venue. So, all of the favors, the escort cards, the cake topper, ring bearer pillow, flower girl basket, etc. will all be out of the house as of tonight! The rehearsal itself will be very short. The Hacienda only allows for a 30 minute rehearsal...which I honestly find a little disturbing. I understand that The Hacienda does weddings and parties constantly, so they are comfortable with everything and know exactly what to do and what to expect. However, I wish they would take into consideration that the brides and grooms having their events at their venue don't have that comfort. We don't know how they do things, we don't know how things get set up there, we don't know how they take all of our wedding elements and set them up the way that we want.. Although the staff is incredibly friendly, they really leave everything hanging on the line of "oh we'll handle that at the rehearsal". Well, how are you supposed to handle ALL the details of a wedding at a 30 minute rehearsal? They really assume that everyone is just okay with their hands-off, "oh we'll take care of it" approach. I for one, am not...but have kind of realized that I really don't have a choice but to just accept it and deal with it. I'm just really hoping that my faith in a vendor that I've never done business with goes well.
I feel bad for Jarrod too! Today is the first day of his weekend, and since he works nights he's been up since yesterday at about 10pm. Knowing what's on his "to-do" list for the day, he won't get a nap or any sleep in before the rehearsal. I really don't like this, especially since he's been battling a cold this week. The last thing he needs is to deprive himself of sleep. Poor thing!
I do know that we are both looking forward to the rehearsal dinner at our favorite place, Lucille's BBQ. There will be SO much food, I know there's going to be left-overs! But, it will be an enjoyable time with friends and family!

6 More Days!
WOW...the wedding is only 6 days away! I think everything is planned and for the most part everything is done. There are just a few small errands and things to do at this point which hopefully get wrapped up in the next few days.
It's been incredibly difficult to get things done simply because of this cold I've had for a little over a week now! Sadly, Jarrod now has the cold and his just started last night...which means the poor thing is probably going to be miserable at the wedding and honeymoon :-( I'm praying that he is able to get rid of the cold sooner than I've been able to...yeah I still have mine.
Fortunatley, my mom and sister came and helped me finish up the favors yesterday! We knocked those out in a few hours, which really helped relieve a lot of stress from me!
The only things left really at this point are some of the presents for our wedding party/parents, etc. Everything else is just the "getting ready" part! The waxing, the nails, picking up the dress and the tux, etc.
We are also waiting for my "stand-in" ring. I was very weary about wearing my wedding ring on the honeymoon (didn't want to lose it or have it stolen), so we ordered a fake ring for me to wear. I still haven't seen what that one looks like, Jarrod seems to think it's funny to not let me see it until it arrives...so I'm nervous! Not really...he has good taste and it's just a fakey so that I have something to wear on the honeymoon!
I think I'm past all the pre-wedding cold feet (I hope), and at this point I am just so excited to see it all come together! I really hope that everyone who is coming has a good time and enjoys everything!
