    My ceremony starts at 4 o'clock in exactly ONE WEEK! AHHHH! I'm so excited :)

    Any last minute advice?? I feel like I should be doing something right now, but I have no idea what.

    For the married bees did you forget to do anything the last week that you wish you had?

    Yay!!! How exciting :)

    Are you nervous at all? I would seriously say you deserve some "you time". Schedule a massage or spend a day with your gfs. My BFFs and I will be having one last elementary-style sleepover before I get married!

    That is so exciting!  Congrats!!  Do you have a little "emergency" kit packed with safety pins, tissues, lint roller, medicines, etc?  I'm not married yet, so that's the only thing I could think of :)

    Yay I'm excited too! My day is the day before yours :) 

    I've just been making sure that all of my vendor bills are paid up, and I tried on my whole outfit to make sure everything still looks ok.

    @Nexus- yay!! I wish had done a friday wedding the weather forcast is much nicer on friday :) We just wrote all of the final checks, which felt nice, but it's kind of a bummer to say goodbye to all the money we've saved

    @blueshoes- that sounds like a fun project to work on. I'll do that, thanks!

    @Recessionistabride- I'm nervous about the weather! Some sites say rain and others sun sunny and 70 degrees. We're doing a sleepover too I'm really excited for that :)

    @magenta- I scheduled an hour for snack time b/c I can't go all day without eating or I'll be sooo cranky :) If we get super busy I'll just eat while I'm getting my hair done haha

    @jackie-o --it's on monday! I'm really excited :)

    I just realized that I'M done with everything, but FI is done with... nothing! oy.. so I'll start working on his projects :) (all he had to do was run down to the mall and order the groomsmen gifts he already picked and make the hotel reservation for his bachelor party)

    @gemstone- we're waiting a couple of months to go on our honeymoon b/c fi is Navy and we're getting relocated in April :)

    Thank you @krissybee- That's a good reminder. I still have a couple of thank you gifts to finish up :)

    Congrats! I'm excited for you :) I can't think of anything right off the bat that I needed to do before the wedding... except pack a small bag of items to take with you to the ceremony site. Things that you might not think of taking, but that might come in really handy for some reason.

    My emerg kit included: powder (body powder), deodorant, pads/tampons, nail polish, cotton swabs, perfume, nail file, etc. You never know who is going to need what! One of my bm's dress actually had to be safety pinned under the arm at the last minute, so we were REALLY glad my other bm had a safety pin!

    @neele and @lindsay- I'm SO excited for our pics too :) We got a semi-famous photographer friend to give us an amazing deal. We could NEVER afford him if we paid his regular prices.

    get all the crying out beforehand so you don't have to be a wreck on the wedding day.  I was glad i saw my fiance in his tux the day before our wedding.  I cried so much when I saw him because it made it feel so real.  I would have messed up all my makeup if I cried like that on the wedding day!

    Have fun - the day will be great!

    woohoo! GOod luck this weekend :)

    Advice for week of - find time for a massage if you can swing it, and don't bite your nails or fuss with your hair or zits or anything. Don't touch your face in general, no break outs :) I'm an antsy person in that regard so I was dying to just bite my nails or something, but I thought about what my ragged fingers would look like in wedding pictures as a deterrent.

    @tammyt112- I have a mani/pedi scheduled for friday :)
    No lingerie yet, but my lingerie party is friday night so I'm hoping I'll just get some cute things to wear at that!

    We just went and got our marriage license this morning! It was in the same office at City Hall where we'll meet for our ceremony on Friday, and there were other brides there today, and I was so excited, because I can't wait until that's ME!!

    I'm keeping the day before as my day to relax and pamper. I told my fiance I don't want to have to leave the house or talk to anyone, haha.

    @Nexus- so exciting!!!!! :) The marriage license makes it feel so real. Thursday is supposed to be my "me" day. I don't have anything planned except a quick meeting with the photographer... I hope I don't get sucked into last minute drama/details!
