Thoughts for Thursday (30) - I am getting married!

Welcome to Thoughts for Thursday! This feature is our outlet to talk with you about whatever we currently have on our minds. It might be bookish, it might not! Now for this week's thought:

I am getting married!

In about two weeks! (To this awesome guy)

It has been a crazy busy year for me, my fiance and I had a good grasp on all the planning, we were getting everything done in a timely manner and then the last two months slammed us!  So much to do in the last couple weeks.   I have decided to try and make a couple of crafts myself to include: Disney/Star Wars photo booth props, flower kissing balls, and our Lego place card holders!  (Pictures will come after the wedding)

My reading and blogging has taken a big hit, luckily I have an awesome co-blogger who has taken a lot on this year!  I have an awesome set of bridesmaids who, with my family, hosted an awesome bridal shower and bachelorette party!  We went wine tasting and had a photo shoot, so I could have some good pictures with my bridesmaids.  Check out some of my favorites... they even feature the previously mentioned co-blogger :)

We have just finished writing our own vows this week, so we have a couple finalization to make on timelines and other printed things but then we should be all set!  We have tried to make the wedding very us, so that meant a lot of small creative details and work!

So I thought since I am so close to the big day, I would ask for any last wedding advice.  Anything you wish you had with you or something you forgot? Any last minute recommendations?  Do you have a funny wedding story? (No horror stories yet!!)

Awe congrats! I don't any anything about wedding planning but i've always been told it's hard work! I love the photos you've included in this post! And a Disney/ Star wars photo booth? That's cool on so many levels :)
Wow, congratulations!
Umm... my advice would be to TAKE SOME TIME FOR YOURSELF. It's fun hanging out with your girls right before the wedding and all, but I found the quiet moments the day before (and the day of the wedding - we had an afternoon ceremony) to be really important - for talking with your guy, having a massage or a mani or whatever, just relaxing and taking stock of what's about to happen. It's really easy to get caught up in last-minute arrangements and crazyness - I highly recommend you delegate those errands to other helpful people and just get some alone time.
Also, don't have anyone staying over at your place if at all possible - it's the best when you wake up with your HUSBAND for the first time in an empty home :)
Everything else will fall into place and it WILL be fabulous, even if there are some tiny changes to your plan.
Have a great, great time, and all the best!

congrats! I eloped, which was awesome because I had everything planned in about a day. Good luck to you, looks like you have a handle on it :) and HAVE FUN!
OMMGGG CONGRATULATIONS! This is so extremely cute. I hope you have an absolutely awesome time with your one and only. ;) The photos look absolutely gorgeous!
So exciting!!!!!! CONGRATS! :D I can't wait to see some after the wedding pictures as well. You and your fiance are adorable together!

The only thing that really matters as it gets closer to the big day.... is that you get to marry the love of your life! :) Enjoy your wedding day because it will fly by. Take it all in.

I had no idea you were getting married! Congrats, girl!!!! I hope you have a beautiful day, and I can't wait to see pictures!
My recent post Waiting on Wednesday [25]: All Broke Down
Hooray! Such happy news. I love these pictures. My one piece of advice is a few days before the big day give up on the small details and take it all in. It literally goes by SO fast. Many people say not to take the time to eat at your own wedding... sit down and eat! Most importantly, it's going to be an amazing day because you love each other & just the BEGINNING of amazing days together. <3 Wishing you the best! Can't wait to see pics.
