It's the final countdown (well, the first anyway)

Well, ladies and gents, we are 6 weeks away from the wedding.  Which means it's time for Brittany to go crazy, right?

My shower is August 21st.  All I know is the date and location (I don't even know the time!); we decided that I could know that info because of my pain condition.  I didn't want my mom and sister saying come over for a little bit, me showing up in sweat pants because of pain, and it being my shower.  I also didn't want to have something happen where I go out Friday night, and have to recoup on Saturday- and tell my mom no, I can't come.  So she. Meg, Lura, and Jackie (who are helping with my shower, being the awesome girls they are) agreed I could know that much.

I have been registry stalking, though.  I have been told that I will get my mixer, so stop worrying about that.  We also got the Kuerig (which excites me too), and a whole bunch of other stuff.  It's so hard not to stalk, and even more so because I have been having issues with our Macy's registry (lots of stuff being discontinued, not being sold, etc), so I have to be on there to change things and move things around (ie, we had to take our towels off our Macy's registry and move them to our BB&B registry because they kept messing with them and telling us they were on clearance and being discontinued and blah blah blah).  It is fun to see what we are getting!

Our Invitations went out July 31st (after my father added 24 people to the guest list; lovely, I know, right?).  We have heard back from people on a steady basis, and it excites me when my mom calls and tells me that this many people have responded.  So far, only 5 have said no...this could be interesting, that's for sure! 

We had my first fitting with Sophia, which went really well; she is fixing my sleeves, trimming the plastic thread off them, steaming it, and doing a really intricate bustle.  It doesn't need hemming or taking in, it fits like it was made for me otherwise.  Weird thing:  She and her friend, Lula (who works in the shop), know our best maid, Val, and her family.  Lula was like a grandma to Val and her sister.  It's a small world...

We ordered the rest of the girls gifts, got my shoes in, got the train that Devin is going to carry down the aisle, ordered our escort cards (after figuring out how to do them), and ordered a Unity Candle that we really like.  We got the DJ stuff in the mail, picked out our ceremony readings, and picked out ceremony hymns.  We need to meet with the organist, and then I need to email Patrick with everything.  Ugh, the last 6 weeks really are the most stressful.

But, we keep chugging along...
