That sounds like my itinerary. Today was my last day at work, we will be leaving town for a few days to visit family for Thanksgiving. I will have to try to get a little more shopping in on Black Friday while out of town. I am going to try to post planning pics on Monday or Tuesday. ....yes, time is really flying...but I am uber excited now!!

OMG -- waxing! EEK! TOTALLY forgot to book that! Thanks for reminding me!!!

 

I think we're all going nuts right now...Happy Weddings to all! :-)

Hi Ladies! I'm actually on a similar plan except I did waxing and nails today! Took a 1/2 day. I'm working on Friday but then we're leaving on Saturday! I know this is weird but for the last week or so I've had a calmness. I think after all of the DT closure B.S. and stress and then getting out my trip pack/brochure thing... once i got past that I'm just sort of rolling with it. I hope and pray that this calmness sticks with me!

 

Happy Thanksgiving and Weddings to all!!!

I don't know why, but I suddenly have started to get super stressed...

 

I'm trying to come up with some wording for the ecofetti bags I'm making right now... well, earlier on this evening. http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t32880

 

I had a massage today at noon and since then I've been stressed, eating chocolate and pigging out and having headaches. Oh and I found out today that the girl I've had such trouble with at work just got a promotion and is going to be in charge of all our programs in our area as of Monday. ... I'm shocked and a little horrified.

 

Hey - I also just noticed that I'm now a Senior Member of BDW!!!

 

I'm counting the days now. 11 til we leave for Mexico and 5 more working days!!!

 

Amy - here's hoping you keep calm and enjoy yourself from here on in!!!

 

Simistar - what is your WD? It's not on your mini profile. When do you leave?

 

I'm sure there are more December brides who just aren't active on this thread.

I know! I totally thought I was on top of everything...but now I have no idea how I'm going to get everything done:-)
I've been so focused on getting everything for the wedding together, that I forgot about getting all the other stuff done that comes with traveling...(the waxing :-) made an appt for Monday thank gawd!)

The massage should RELAX you!
Or the chocolate. Either one :-)
Mmmm...chocolate....

Whoops...I didn't notice that! I just added it:-)
We leave on Wednesday! But I do have Mon and Tues off work..and boy will I need that time!

I picked my dress up tonight! The seamstress made it really snug...so basically, I can't eat until the day after our wedding:-)

I'm hoping to post a planning thread before I go...but we'll see if I have time

Same with me!!! I want to get to the dentist for a cleaning before we leave, but I've left it super late! I don't wax (way too much of a wimp), so that's fine, but the hair trial and makeup have not been done either. Crap!

Yay! So you're coming up before me. Wow! That's so soon! We leave next Sunday.
Are you happy with the way your dress fits you? I think they like to make them ultra snug. After wearing it for an hour you'll get used to it, I think.

I've started writing the planning thread in word. Otherwise it'll never get done.

Hi Ladies - i'm awake at 3am and catching up on all my December bride activities. My schedule is same as many others...Wednesday was my last day of work. I stay around home till Monday - then we leave on Tuesday.

 

I am surprising my FI at the Cancun airport by having a limo pick us up instead of taking the shuttle. We have so much crap with us, it probably would not have fit on the shuttle anyhow.

 

I've been MIA lately - so much going on - I am 4 months preganant, and we just bought a new house and work is super busy...so things are crazy for me...good thing I got so much of my wedding stuff done in the summer, or i'd be having a breakdown.

 

I had to get my dress taken out - TWICE...and when I finally picked it up on Monday...now it is a little too loose in the bust area - the problem is, in 2 weeks it might be perfect...who knows. i kept having this recurring nightmare about not being able to zip up the dress on my wedding day.....so too loose is probably better than too tight. For now, if I wear a padded corset under the dress, I can get by at least.

 

Only things left to do this weekend is so review the music for the ceremony, dinner and reception (that was FI's responsibility) and of course he left it to the last minute...and then I just realized that I need to find the words for the sand ceremony....I think I saw them somewhere before...so I just have to locate some vows and change them a bit.....oh yeah, and then pack!! I plan to start that tomorrow.

 

Monday is all about facial, waxing, manicure and pedicure - then off for 5 days of sunshine and relaxation before the big day!!

 

Can't wait to read everyone's planning thread and hear how everything went.

 

Congrats to all - safe travels and have a very special day!

Holy CRAP, Tracy! Congratulations!!!
Sounds like you have a very very good few reasons for having been too busy lately to post.

I'm sure you'll be fine in the dress. Definitely better too big right now than too small.
I can't believe I just have 3 more days of work!
I have a zillion things to do this weekend though.

How is everyone else doing?

Oh! I have to post my latest DIY project from tonight. I'm really proud of it - I made 4 hair flowers for my 2 sisters (BMs). I'll make a thread and then link to it.
