    AAAHHH!! I'm feeling panicked. Anyone have a paperbag for me to breathe into?
    Isn't it the Bride's responsibility to freak out over all the minute details?

    A bit of advice I was given from my father (who travelled a lot for work) when vacationing was "make sure you have the things you can't live without, and a credit card"

    Anyone will be happy to take your money when you're on your honeymoon!

    Relax, have fun, and remember that only you, no one else, will notice the stuff that went wrong. Unless you pass out at the altar----keep wiggling your toes!

    Marlena and got married 4 days after deciding to. And although it's only been 29 years, it looks like the marriage just may work out. ;)

    Take it from someone who really freaked out 4 years ago (yes folks it's been 4 years) anything that does go wrong is little in the big picture. Look at everyone around you, enjoy the love and warmth you feel from everyone, and never let go of your beloved.

    Have a great time... oh and send in some pics if you don't mind

    good luck!

    I feel better today. Though, the little things I was wigging out about, weren't the things that anyone at the ceremony would care about. I'm not worried about the ceremony at all really. I'm worried about getting people rides to the bachelor/ette party at Disneyland (which looks OK now), worried about making sure we have our reservations, confirmations, and all of our packing done for the honeymoon and wedding weekend, since we really won't be home from Wednesday until almost two weeks later after the honeymoon. We can stop at home and do some last minute stuff Friday night before the wedding, but that's pretty much it. We still have a TON of laundry to do before we can think about packing, I still have to make CD labels for the reception music so the DJ knows all the cues.

    But I feel better today than yesterday, but work hasn't started yet, let's see how I am at the end of the day.

    Oh, and one of my coworkers is getting married tomorrow.

    Don't forget the laptop so you can give us a daily report during the honeymoon.

    Well no more weekends left, just six days to go and I feel calm again. We got alot done yesterday. Still have to do the dinner menus and the CD labels (so the DJ knows what we gave him), but that's about all that's left to produce.

    Our Table labels turned out great. so did the placecards.

    Sorta bummed that so little of my family and friends from up north are coming but life intervenes sometimes.

    Truly, it helped me that I decided nothing was going to stress me on my wedding day. Everything was perfect, but only because I let a few little things roll off my back. That morning, take solace in the fact that it's too late now! Just lay back and take lots of mental pictures!

    Back home from an incredible honeymoon in Tahoe. we had snow our first day, and highs in the sixties with not a cloud in the sky the following day. Truly incredible. Off to a Los Lobos concert tonight to finish off this amazing week. Pics to follow!

    So do you feel it? Is it different?
    Congrats!!! I hope you're having fun being a pair of "silly newlyweds" (usually followed by an eyeroll). They're just jealous!

    I actually have transitions lenses, but I switched to my crappy ol' poly ar's for the wedding so my pics would be good.

    We're both wearing pro design, cause I love'em and the rep is a friend.
