Updates from a sick bride to be

With only 8 days left before the wedding it is a very good thing that this cold/flu hit me now instead a week later! I wish however that it had passed me over completely so that I could stay on track with wedding projects and other things, but I am not entirely surprised that the stress over the course of this month beat my immune system down enough to infect me with it. Besides, I work with the public 40 hours a week, not catching this popular virus would have been a miracle! So I look for the silver lining here from my bed, where I have stayed for almost 48 hours, and decided it is not being sick on my wedding day at least! My only hope now is that it overlooks Jeffery! I have taken the liberty to buy vitamin C and Zinc for him to take in order to help boost up his immune system and I have even disinfected the apartment. So hopefully that will have helped a great deal. I have to say, that in the midst of my illness, Jeffery has been taking on a lot to make sure that things get done in time for the wedding which has helped ease my stress, and I can not thank him enough for his HARD WORK on everything! I hope that this extra day of rest will help heal me up in time for this weekend so that I can forge on ahead with wedding projects still needing to be completed and lessen the load for him. I am so grateful and so lucky to have such a devoted friend and love that will soon be my husband!

So what is left to complete before the big day? Well, a couple more videos which are almost completed. The "Play Bills" which will be the programs for guests of the ceremony have been pretty much completed last night by Jeffery. We figured that since this is taking place inside a theater it would be a nice touch to create a "Play Bill" to add to the atmosphere instead of just a program. Jeffery also finished all the seating cards the other night and posters that we plan to hang on the windows, also in homage to the theater atmosphere. I need to add the ribbons to the masks still and print photos for the picture frames as well as get supplies for the trick or treat table. There are small personal projects I need to complete as well, such as finding a veil fastener, painting fake nails I plan to wear that day, buying make up for the occasion, and other little things that a girl does for her wedding! ;p

So yes, 8 days and still a bit more work left to do, but thankfully plenty has been done thanks to Jeffery and also I am glad to say that all that needed to be ordered is FINISHED and on it's way! The guest book should arrive next Thursday and our My Jones Soda will arrive today which I am very excited to see! :D

After some confusion that had me just about slip into a bridezilla moment, I got my dress and Jeffery helped fit me into it which was really sweet of him to do. Thankfully it fits GREAT and I can not wait to wear it!!!

Yesterday we went to apply for our marriage license which was interesting since I was feeling at my very WORST yesterday and could hardly stand. I think we were there for maybe a little under and hour and in that time I think I was out of the bathroom just long enough to sing the paperwork for it. It was a pretty miserable experience unfortunately thanks to this flu.

All in all... 8 more days and we will be married and I am very excited about it! I know that this wedding is going to be spooktacular and absolutely one of kind! All this hard work will pay off in the end! And afterward, the reward will be spending time with the love of my life relaxing on a beach for 7 days in Maui. No wedding planning, no illness, no stress, no drama! :D
