OMG...Our countdown is in the single digits!!! AH! Only 9 more days till I marry my best friend. FI called me this morning and we were so excited talking about it! I can''t wait to walk down the aisle to my handsome groom! Last Friday we got our marriage license...I loved seeing Mr. and Mrs. FI LASTNAME at the bottom! WEE!

Any last week advice?!

RoseAngel!!!

I''m sooo excited for you... while I thought the last week was stressful.. it was also the most fun.

My "last week advice" to you is this:

1. Take some alone time for you and your hubby to be...

My planner said that her and her now hubby went to a water park.. just the two of them. My hubby and I went for a walk in the wee hours of the am (like 6am) and walked around the little town we got married in.. the fog was just lifting... we went to a park.. played in the park (I havent swung on a swingset in AGES). That memory is PRICELESS... it was our time to breath.. and go "holy crap... we are getting married!!!" We were like little kids.. snuck into the pool areas to take pictures... playing in the playground.. snuggling.. it was kinda chilly... went to the beach.. you name it.. it was our time... to pause and take it all in... that was one of my favorite times!

2. Take a moment alone to reflect and breath.

You will be stressed.. there is no avoiding it. but if you take a moment to just "be" you will breath and take it all in.
I spent the majority of Thurs. before the wedding by myself (everyone had soo much to accomplish) Well, I accomplished all my tasks early... and well... was alone.. at the time.. I was sooo angry. Where was my family.. my hubby to be.. my friends... seriously.. hours went by... but I look back and think.. that was a good thing for me... I went for a walk by myself.. remembered some really fond things about my pre-married life.. and it was good. I did the same thing for the night before. I stayed in a cottage by myself. I lit a candle.. read a little bit.. relaxed. Woke up the next morning.. lit my candle and wrote my vows.. it was a tender moment I have to say... I woke up.. and my vows just hit me.. they were flying from my brain to the paper.. it was perfect!

3. Everyone will tell you that you wont remember a lot of it. Be prepared. Your wedding day is like an out of body experience. Accept it.. and try to take some mental pictures. You will remember the big stuff... the aisle, your groom, the I DO, the KISS!!! there will be sooo many things that happen.. pictures will help you remember.. but dont get hung up on missing things... enjoy the moment with your groom.

Take some breaths.. enjoy it all.. and just be.. it will be the most amazing time you have known in your life thus far... Good Luck!!! and early congrats!!!

Rose Angel, Congratulations! So exciting that it''s sooo close!

I think Jaders gave you amazing advice, in fact, I plan to use a bit of it when my single digit days come!

Just have a wonderful day and I guess I''d just say to make sure the person that is helping to coordinate the day of pieces has her list ready to go!

Congrats!!

thx for all the well wishes ladies!

Jaders....thank you soooo much for your in-depth "single digit" advice....I really appreciate it.

I think all of the advice you gave is really great. I really like the "alone time" doing something simple with just FI and I close to the wedding to take in each other before we say I do...and also the "alone time" with myself to collect my thoughts. Surprisingly, I''m not nervous at all...more anxious...I can''t wait for August 4th to be here and to start my new life with my soon-to-be husband.
