they had "daily spanish" and "daily spanish phrases" at our targets! i'm SO happy i found them! hooray!

great job ladies! i haven't posted in forever, and i feel VERY behind.... (reality check: scott and i will be married in ONE WEEK!!!!) <------ SO much has happened in a short amount of time: -we have a place to LIVE!!!!!!!!!!! ((that's a HUGE relief because now we have somewhere to rest when we come home! the AHR is two days after we get back, so the no home situation was a huge stress.) -finished the BM gifts (minus the thank you notes) -finished music selections for reception and gave the list to our "music man" (a groomsman) who is in charge of making the playlist and bringing the iPod -three people have backed out last minute lowering our count from 29 to 26.... <---this really bummed me out. i still have a TON of little things to do. goals for today: FINISH welcome packet and FINISH menus P.S. I found Daily Spanish Phrases for Dummies in Target's $1-Spot yesterday!!!!!! They also had Daily Spanish, but I think the phrases were more appropriate for our group!

margaritas in a bucket:party!

grrrr...i had big plans for today! somehow, i just don't seem to get my goals accomplished and the days are just flyyyyyying by!!! oh, dear. : KLC77 - we had SOME progress on a place to live today. FI contacted a realtor/family friend who looked up rental properties. we narrowed it down to about 4-5 good ones, and hopefully we can make a decision ASAP. well, we also both need JOBS as recent college grads, too.... details, right?! haha tomorrow is my lingerie shower, and i'm SUPER excited about it! i'm sure i'll take tons of pics and post a fun thread! hopefully i can make a few huge check marks on my list tomorrow...?! p.s. i received my massive order from SmartyPants today, and Joy - once again - rocks my socks off!!! she's a genius - pics to come!

spending money : wedding

our MAC stores are always packed, but the department store MACs generally don't have as many people stopping by. i always opt for the department store version because i feel like it's a bit faster?

so precious! your eyes are amazing! ((i love the pics in the middle of the road!))

my Christmas list : tiny this year

gorgeous dress! i think it's perfect!

i had starbucks twice yesterday....OOPs. :

yayyyy! they look BEAUTIFUL! great choices!!!

You know what he said to me, Kel- how long does it really take to rent an apartment? An hour? We don't need to worry about it. WHAT?? I'm gonna flip out as we don't currently live together and we are going to come home from Mexico and head to separate houses! ditto, ditto, and again - DITTO. we have NO PLACE TO LIVE!!! hopefully we can get that accomplished this week or the beginning of next....we both live with our parents now, and we are NOT living with either of them when we get back from cabo....... oh my, i guess that's one of the "little" things stressing me out! haha glad to hear we're not alone in that boat. ((i'm also in the "my FI could care less/has no sense of urgency" boat)) updates!: -got marriage license today! legal day on december 30!!! -we depart for cabo in exactly 2 weeks!!!!! -lingerie shower given by my bridesmaids is friday night!

finally made a decision on this! all ceremony music will be acoustic guitar parents/bridal party processional: Canon in D bridal processional: over the rainbow (hopefully similar to my fave version a la jason castro - no singing though) recessional: better together (jack johnson - this has been on our website from day 1 of wedding planning!) yay! ceremony music ---> CHECK! now for reception music...... :

They were a little bit more than I wanted to pay, but they are so comfortable and I think that's pretty important. So... introducing Casey's bridal shoes... LOVE these!! they are a perfect bridal shoe!

AMAZING photos! you two are such fashionistas!!! beautiful, beautiful!

cute stuff!!!! i got most of my stuff at victoria's secret, but that new line looks pretty nice!!! good luck taking the photos! it is SO much fun!

Quote: Originally Posted by KatyKo These are all such cute ideas. This may be a silly question, but do people do these things (sparklers, bubbles, ribbons) as you walk back down the isle as a couple? I have never been to a DW and I know at traditional weddings this happens when the B&G leave the location to get in their car, so I was curious about the DWs. we're using them as we leave the reception. our honeymoon is at a different location than where the wedding is held! it would be cute to do that back down the aisle though!

i just ordered a few more things from SmartyPants today! i'm going to get the biggest box @ my house when i'm finally done adding more things haha! she has the CUTEST aprons right now....i stole the idea from someone on BDW to get those for hostess gifts! yippee! on a different note - i'm STUCK on designing a few graphics for the wedding (OOT box labels and water bottle labels...)..boooooooo but hopefully in the next few hours they'll be DONE! i feel like all my creative juices are gone...

Makes me so nervous. i'll let you know! i'm almost 100% convinced i'll get that for luke's Christmas present! i hope he likes it!
