    How are you all holding up? Are most of the projects complete?

    I'm picking up my dress today and taking her home! EEEE!!!!

    I can tell you that even though I know I'm getting married in 5 DAYS it still doesn't feel real. It feels like I'm going to someone else's wedding, not my own. It's a surreal feeling, I just can't describe it. I am overjoyed and can't wait but want it all to go slow so I can enjoy it!

    Anyone else feel the same way??

    @PennyTee: Yay!! Date twins! Good luck with the rest of the planning and the move!

    We just have to print and fold programs, but they are pre-folded so it will be easy. The flowers start arriving tomorrow and we (I have a small army of people helping) will arrange them ourselves, but it's nothing complicated, and a few minor things, including cleaning the house and packing for the honeymoon. I'm off work starting tomorrow so I hope to knock most of the rest of it out at that time.

    EEE!!! 4 DAYS!!!!! :D

    Another 9.24 Bride here - right now it's looking like rain and I wish I was more mature about it but at the moment it just sucks.  I know the weather could go either way, but I'm disapoointed that we might be having the wedding I envisioned.

    @Miss Holly: I'm totally feeling the same way - chance of rain in Chicago on Saturday and even though I know the wedding will still be tons of fun, I can't help but feel sad as we were planning an outdoor ceremony and a big part of our venue choice was the beautiful landscaping (we're having it at a golf course) which would look amazing in pictures. Let's just keep our fingers crossed!!

    Otherwise, I am excited, and have this weird feeling where I keep thinking there are more things to do, but everything is done, so I kind of feel "unmoored"... not able to fully relax yet but also nothing to do with my nervous energy :) But people are starting to get into town and I'm sure once they get here I will be swept up in all the festivities!

    Despite my Debbie Downer post earlier, I'm committed to having an amazing weekend - rain or shine!  I bought 40 umbrellas from Bed, Bath & Beyond yesterday so nothing can stop us now.  I feel so ready for this day to be here, it's been a long time in the making.

    Congratulations to all the other Brides for this weekend.  It's been nice to read along with you all as you've planned your weddings!
