Eeek! Your wedding is close and thats some list! I feel ya though, I am not that far off either. I am actually a major procrastinator and still have a ton to do.
My big accomplishment for today: I finally sent invites/newsletters.
Here some things I still want to get done - a lot has gone by the wayside and we'll just go on to plan B for whatever doesn't get done.

Still need to find shoes - have two in mind- but must shop around first
Gifts for guests/ oot gifts - I may wait to buy down there
Print /buy postcards for guests to mail to us instead of guestbook
Shop for makeup
Have manicure and hope my nails don't break before wedding - I've been growing the out
Figure out what to do with hair - buy clip on hair? - get haircut- buy hair products
Make appointment to get eyelash extensions
Shop for bathing suits and cute resort clothes and shoes
Print out the Language of Fans for my ceremony fans - maybe
Pack
Compile and send photographer and videographer a list of musts
Figure out Music - bug FI till he makes decisions - or spend more $$ for Romantic trio
Stress about ceremony wording - haven't the slightest what will be said and I have specific hopes for this
