In the past week and a half, I have:

• Designed, printed, and mailed the rehearsal dinner invitations.
• Made hotel reservations for Honeymoon #1 immediately following the wedding.
• Finalized the flower order with the florist.
• Sampled wedding cake... Yum!
• Had the second fitting for my wedding gown.
• Bought reception centerpiece and guest favors supplies.
• Nagged a few people about getting their RSVP cards to me... he-he
• Cleaned one of my spare bedrooms in preparation for selling my condo. boohoo... I will miss the first home that was my very own.
• Written up a super, psycho-anal detailed schedule of events for the wedding day.
• Written drafts one and two of wedding ceremony program.
• Sent the reception dinner menu to the woman who will be printing something pretty for the reception... Thanks, Mary B.!
• Asked my sister endless questions about bubbles, guest books, and cute little cake napkins. Bubbles - yes, guestbook - yes, cute little cake napkins - uh, NO!

A sampling of the To-Do list:

• Assemble the bridesmaids' gift bags.
• Order the wedding cake. I am thinking Chocolate Cake with chocolate fudge filling and another layer of White Cake with raspberry filling.
• Finalize the wedding program. Purchase the pretty paper for the programs. Print the programs.
• Purchase the last few items for the centerpieces.
• Assemble the guest favors and tie pretty ribbons on the bubbles. Volunteers to help?
• Make a CD of the ceremony music.
• Nag more people about the RSVPs. ha-ha
• Buy the guestbook, place cards, and candles for the unity candle.
• Order the hors d'oeuvres for the small reception at the church building. Come up with decorations for the small reception at the church building.
• Buy a swimsuit for Honeymoon #2 in Playa del Carmen, Mexico!
• Check on the status of the pew bows.
• Have the third fitting for my wedding gown.
• Determine if we will provide child care during the ceremony.
• Scramble to find someone to videotape the ceremony.
• Meet with the DJ to finalize the music selections.
• Give a huge amount of money to the reception hall along with the final guest count.
• Clean my second spare bedroom in preparation for selling my condo.... sniff...
• Write a million Thank You notes for gifts received.
• Work on the seating chart for the reception.

I am tired...
