Your wedding is going to be supe...Oh my dear Vicki,<br />Your wedding is going to be super fantastic, so please listen to your wise self and take a breath, maybe even dare I say it take a break. Plan a non-wedding thinking/planning weekend for you and Mike to relax and do NOTHING wedding related.<br />I completely understand this little roller coaster of trying to get everything perfect for your perfect day. But the mantra I've been repeating to myself is "at the end of the day, the Boy and I will be married and everyone we love will be in one room to celebrate it. That's all that matters." If the food sucks, the cake flops, the DJ belongs at a retirement party instead of a wedding, someone forgets to put out the name tags that you've poured your sweat and tears into... well - you'll still be married to the one you love and you'll have a story to tell at the end of the day.<br />Take care of yourself!<br />XOXOAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312222914027838733.post-31894688735977071422011-01-18T11:02:20.217-05:002011-01-18T11:02:20.217-05:00WOW!

I d...Girl, I tried to plan every single detail too. I do believe that insanely good prep will help the day go smoothly but trust me... the ice sculpture wasn't the only thing that will happen.<br /><br />For instance, pictures took a little long which mean the room took a bit long to flip which meant behind in the timeline. SO we just improvised and people gave their speeches during dinner. Totally worked out great, except that we forgot to tell the wait staff which meant no champagne! Luckily, open bar meant everyone had a drink and *I* didn't even notice because I was too busy trying to keep from crying when my dad spoke because I didn't want to ruin my AWESOME makeup :). <br /><br />OR how when it was time to cut the cake my groom was nowhere to be found because he was too busy busting the balls of one of his groomsmen who drew penises (peni??) on our truck. SO my cousin stepped up and posed for some hilarious pictures to lighten the mood before Clint was found.<br /><br />I don't say these things to give you a heart attack- I say them to let you know if *I* (Queen of Drama, OCD and FREAKING OUT) could go with the flow to all of this, I promise you can too. <br /><br />You will be so zen on your wedding day that it will freak other people out. Everyone was expecting me to be bridezilla and I just soaked in every moment and didn't stress about anything. It was the best day and my wedding is one of the few special events I can look back on in my life and know that I actually enjoyed every moment of it!<br /><br />Love,<br />JoeyJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03961625600830672197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312222914027838733.post-22765705717364925482011-01-18T09:27:12.726-05:002011-01-18T09:27:12.726-05:00You're in limbo right now.

That weird stage of wedding planning where you have most of the big stuff out of the way, but there's the whole pile of small stuff left that it's really too early to do anything about.<br /><br />I get the panicking! You want to make sure everything is done and done right. And that list of small things is KILLING you because it's growing by the minute and it seems as though you are never crossing anything off.<br /><br />But I promise you this: the list will get done. Also, things WILL go wrong with your wedding. Remember my story about the DJ? But on the day of, you will suddenly become calm and cool. You will remember WHY you are there in the first place. And it will be the best day of your life :)Nicci @ Changing the Universehttp://changingtheuniverseblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
