I've said it sooo many times, and I still don't even quite believe myself! Pretty much everything is done, except I have to finish packing for the honeymoon (though I'm mostly done with that), I do have to pack for the venue (everything is in a corner of my living room but I have to go through it and put it in bags haha), and FH and I have to write our toast for the reception (though we'll likely just say a few sentences).
Aunt Flo came to visit today! FH thought I was crazy because I was curled up in a ball on the couch with the heating pad saying "I'm in so much pain right now!" but SMILING like crazy... because I am just SOOO relieved it's today and not later this week! I get awful cramps, and this entire past year, I've been so terrified that it was going to come the day of the wedding or the day before or something, and ruin it for me. But... by the time we start wedding events (Friday) I'll already be on day 5 and basically done! I'm so, so relieved!
Anyway, I'm beyond excited and it's finally starting to set in that this is actually happening NOW. Our out of town guests are starting to get ready for their flights (some are actually here already because they came a bit early for the long weekend!) and other people are texting me about how excited they are. We're confirming details with our vendors. My vows are finally DONE. I'm doing my best to avoid looking at the weather forecast and just letting things happen as they were meant to. My mom's best friend (who is also the dad of one of my bridesmaids) asked my mom "if he was invited to the rehearsal dinner." Well, no. But my mom said she felt "guilty saying no to him" so I guess he's coming to our rehearsal dinner now... *rolls eyes.* I know I can be a pretty controlling, perfectionistic person and I really don't like things that don't go according to my plan lol. But, I'm doing my best to just take a deep breath, and let go of the small stuff, and just trusting that things will work out as they're supposed to!
I had heard about the wave of "calm" that some people say they have the week before their wedding, and I feel like that's definitely part true at least. Part of me still has a pit in my stomach and feels all anxious and jittery about making sure I get everything done that I have to do, hoping that everything goes as planned, etc..... but part of me has definitely had the reality of "this time next week, it'll all be over" set in, and realizing that it's all going to be great no matter what. I'm really doing my best to relax and soak in every moment!
Who else is getting married this weekend?! How are you all doing???
