He doesn't love the sand ceremony idea, but he said he'll do it if we can't think of something else. why are boys difficult?

Not sure yet, a month or 2 after the wedding probably! I am having a AHR as well my cousin is throwing me for family only I think in September, wedding stuff never ends! HAHA! I will do another planning thread for Vegas as well.

vegas style wedding! that sounds just awesome...must take pictures for us!

Diana - oh trust me I will!!

 

Hope you girls had a fabulous weekend! Yesterday I woke up determined to get stuff done so I literally started on wedding stuff before breakfast and didn't stop until I got up to go to bed.

 

Half of my living room was filled with boxes of wedding stuff so I pretty much opened them all up and packed up 4 suitcases very strategically. I removed all the "Made in China" stickers for customs... which everything I bought was pretty much made in China... but doing this made me feel the time crunch, my wedding feels quite close now!

 

I nearly finished my hangover kits, just need to print and cut the front sticker and done!

 

I just got proofs back on my OOT bag tags & escort cards.

 

FI finished assembling the LED lights to the batteries and even figured out a convenient plastic pull tab for easy lighting by whoever is hanging our lanterns, love it!

 

I did a lot of research and calling Vegas last night and figured out who I'm inviting. I think we're looking at getting a huge suite and celebrating in the suite.

 

I'm going to start doing my planning thread soon... I hope I don't have to pull anything out of my suitcases for this, LOL!

That's how it's been for me up until this weekend! At least you have a few weeks more than I do.... speaking of, you are 2 months away today!!

[Lady_Di]

I knowwwww! it's almost one month for you, eeek!!

Karen, we are doing 2 poems and the sand ceremony. The poems are pretty, if you want I can email them. But there are so many on line...the ones are picked just stuck out to me. Are you doing a unity candle instead of the sand ceremony? I guess I should ask if you are doing legal or religious?

 

Amy - Wow you are on a roll, keep it up.

 

Diana - 2 months!! Woo Hoo.

WOW Kitten Heart your good....LOL I think I am behind I have no idea at this point LOL... But I do feel the crunch lol have to start putting things away... What are you ladies doing in reagrds of a guest book I am kinda stumped for that..

[finleys7]

My sister bought my guest book, pretty traditional, the material actually matches my dress and is rouched, like my dress...so it's cute.

 

We really wanted to do a scrapbook version guest book, but we didn't have the time and honestly all of these things keep adding up, and I just paid for the honeymoon...so the traditional one is fine =)

You're not behind! I keep laughing that I packed everything 5 weeks before leaving... I was just so sick of all the boxes and some I hadn't ever even opened so I just wanted to do something with them. I still have quite a bit to do and figure out how to pack clothes

My photog sent me a book of my engagement photos (which I didn't even realize I got in my package) so that's cool and I'm using that. I'm also using a guestbook tree since I have a bird and tree theme going on. It's a big image of a tree with no leaves that says "Our Family Tree" and people "leaf" their thumbprint with green ink on an empty branch and sign their name next to it and we frame it when we get back.
