Days 415-430

We are t-minus 2 days!!! I thought I would be able to blog more but I am realizing real fast that there are so many last minute little details. Then to add to it, you should also plan for those unexpected things to go wrong. From my mom's dress being altered the wrong way all together, to a family member being in an accident. We are surviving it all. I think the best thing is to remember that you cannot control everything, but it is all going to work out in the end!
Today is going to be a very busy day, with us heading back to Austin one last time to pick up my wedding dress, our gift bags for our out-of-town guests, and any other little thing we need!
Cannot believe how close it is!!! :)

Days 408 - 415

I cannot believe all the little details we still have to tie together. It has been a very busy week for us and last week was no exception. We have met with our photographer, dj, florist, ceremony site, priest, and wedding planner all within the past 7 days. I am amazed at all we have done, but also what is still left to do.
The one thing that I do keep saying again and again is that we have met some amazing people during this process. Some of our vendors have just been so gracious and fun!
17 days and counting!

Days 399 - 407



This past week was a crazy one, but I got through it. :) I had some amazing moments and some moments were I almost broke down. From having our final meeting with our wedding planner to my Bachelorette Party. It was hosted by my bridesmaid Sonya, and I was very lucky to have her creative hand in it! Not only was her house beautiful, but all the little things she did to make it unique and beautiful were amazing!! I am very blessed to have such amazing bridesmaids!! Here are a couple of pics from the weekend! 25 more days to go before the BIG DAY!!

Days 395-398

I am trying to be a better blogger and let you all in on the month before the wedding, but as I have been warned, it is getting crazy!! This week especially is packed full of wedding to-dos. From have our final meeting with our wedding planner, my bridal portraits and the one big thing I have been looking forward to for a while now, my Bachelorette Party!! I know the traditional party is going out on the town and getting drunk, but I am opting for something just a tad different. I just do not see the fun in spending tons of money on over-priced drinks, when all I want to do is spend some quality time with my girlfriends and get a little pampered. :)
Even with all the crazy moments, I keep thinking to myself I am going to marry my best friend in 1 month and 4 days!!

With everything left to do, the one thing that I can cross of my list is buying the wedding bands! Surprisingly this was not as easy as I thought it would bel So many choices, and not a small decision as this too will be on my hand, FOREVER!! I am not going to spoil the surprise, but here are some photos of my options and I will mention that one of these beauties ended up being the winner!

Days 348 - 366



Finals are officially done and now it is time to focus 100% on the wedding!  I started out this week by tasting cake at the Ultimate Cheesecake Bakery in San Antonio.  It was delicious and I am real excited to see how the cakes turn out!
Second thing on our list was a tasting at the Westin on the Riverwalk.  We have been working with a woman at the hotel named Eva and she is simply amazing!  The food was delicious and presented beautifully!!  I do not want to give away too many details, but I will say that I do not think our guest will be disappointed!  :)  
The next thing we tasted were signature cocktail drinks, and again without giving too many details away, there will be a martini there that I absolutely LOVED!  
The last thing I would like to mention is that Jennifer was there as well and did a mock up of the floral work and it was stunning!!  I cannot wait to see how it will look on the day!!
