counting

Xaikayla 2005-10-31 20:11:40 ET I get married in just under three weeks. I have two papers, two lighting designs, a pattern drafted to fit me perfectly, 15 water color figures, a mock costume design for two greek plays, and a photoshop rendering due before I waltz down that isle. I am pretty sure I am going to die. have I mentioned that I hate wedding planning?

Xaikayla 2005-10-31 20:19:42 ET my parents live 10 hours away. they are good for the paying part, not close enough nor are they at all familar with the area. I get stuck with all the busy work.

analog sky 2005-10-31 20:38:53 ET Good luck. And Happy Halloween.

Autumn Solstice 2005-11-02 17:53:54 ET just finished that particular pain in the behind...lol...the planning sucks, but once its all going it seems like you float through it...you'll survive..and you'll come out with so much more...

Xaikayla 2005-11-02 17:56:47 ET Youre married now! how'd it go?

Autumn Solstice 2005-11-02 17:58:53 ET it went great...lol...absolutely crazy leading up to it, but at about noon the day of (halloween by the way, i love my anniversary) i entered this total zen state..whatever was going to happen was going to happen, good or bad..as long as aaron was waiting for me at the end of that aisle the rest of it really didn't matter...one of the best days of my life..

Xaikayla 2005-11-02 18:02:09 ET What was the most memorable part?

Autumn Solstice 2005-11-02 18:05:26 ET for the actual wedding it was just standing there and staring into his eyes...its like the whole place just melted away while he was reciting his vows... of the reception it was the comedian i hired to do a suprise roast of the whole wedding party...lol..it was hilarious...

Xaikayla 2005-11-02 18:07:03 ET Wow, I have bridesmaids who would be so not happy if I did that to them. Did you write your own vows?

Autumn Solstice 2005-11-02 18:08:51 ET no..we couldn't really think of words to say what we wanted to say..and the judge who preformed the ceremony was a family friend..and the ones he came up with were perfect.. we did this whole mafioso theme...and the comedian came in as my italian godfather..only me and my dad knew about it...everyone laughed so hard....

Xaikayla 2005-11-02 18:11:11 ET Dave and I have written ours. Our marrige councelor advised that we do so. Ours are pieces of different vows and poems and stuff we've read.

Autumn Solstice 2005-11-02 18:13:56 ET that's awesome..we were just so afraid that we would make it comedy...lol..we're joke oriented people, and we figured that the occasion called for something a little more solemn..

Xaikayla 2005-11-02 18:15:17 ET AS long as you were happy.

Autumn Solstice 2005-11-02 18:17:30 ET we definately were...and you guys will be too..the next few weeks will fly by..

Xaikayla 2005-11-02 18:18:43 ET its just over two weeks to be exact. I am ready to have the thing happen.

Autumn Solstice 2005-11-02 18:23:01 ET i know that whole feeling...it will all speed up the closer it gets....but with school too the stress must be mounting

Xaikayla 2005-11-02 18:25:38 ET it's crazey.. I should be doing homework right now but I just want to do nothing.

Autumn Solstice 2005-11-02 18:33:52 ET mental overload sucks..i used to get that way when i was in school..
