Well, it's less than 3 weeks to the wedding and it's getting real. I am doing up some little things - finishing touches - and I'm thinking more and more about the logistics for things and other little things that have to get done. I think I'm getting there, I just wish that I had more time to do some things. Next weekend is full. We're having a Putici family reunion in Summerland so that weekend is a write-off and the next weekend is the last weekend before the wedding so it's going to be a frantic finishing up of all other details.
I just wish that Jeremy was home. He would be such a comfort that no one else could be. I'm glad that he is able to come back home for the family reunion.
Well, back to wedding stuff, I am just working on putting together some activity baskets for the kids at the reception. I don't think there are going to be too many kids but it'll be good to have just in case.
I do have a few other things that I want to do ahead of time so I am going to be working on those things this week as much as I can.
Talk to you all later!

Wedding Bands
Did I mention that I got our wedding bands? I will post pictures afterwards but I have been carrying them around in my purse since the beginning of July. I'm so impressed. They look amazing.
Jeremy wasn't able to pick his out because he was away for work but we had gone through some jewelry stores ahead of time and he showed me what he liked. I had gone in to pick our rings at the beginning of June and I got the call that they had come in on July 5th.
I went to pick them up on the 6th and I was so excited. I love how they turned out and I can't wait to wear mine forever.
Stay tuned readers!

What's Left?
Well, I have finished quite a bit in the last while - or so it feels like. I have ordered the last of the decorations, the ties for our ring bearers, my shoes came in yesterday (SO EXCITED!!), favours are ordered, flowers are taken care of, I met with one of our MC's to discuss the program for the reception and she is taking care of that, Jeremy's working on the reception music playlist, I am working on lists to give out to people (instructions/directions for the day before/day of the wedding).
The bridal shower went really well last weekend. I had a lot of fun and there were quite a few people there that I didn't expect which was a great surprise and I was feeling blessed that they were able to come.
My sister did a great job of planning and her and my mom put together a great party. Thanks!!
Now, there are a few other things that I have to work on:
- "preferred photos" list for photographers
- list for "Day Of Coordinator"
- list of instructions for ushers
- list of instructions for take-down of church
- list of instructions for take-down of reception decorations
- itinerary for wedding party, parents, coordinator, etc.
- thank you notes from the Bridal Shower
- small extras :)
I am very excited. 25 sleeps!!!

32 Sleeps.....
Okay, so it's been a super long time. Time for an update.
First thing is that I'm really excited because I ordered my wedding shoes online. I also went shopping this past Saturday and found some other shoes as well so I'm tossing the idea around of getting them both (huge grin on my face!).
I set tomorrow (our 1 month mark) as our RSVP deadline and I have already heard from almost everyone. I think that's very uncommon! I was worried at first that everyone would say yes and that we'd be stuck with too many people and I would feel super terrible.
Anyway, I finished getting my bubbles ready for the ceremony. I got a container that's really classy looking for them and I'm excited about them.
I have ordered a few more things for the decorations and I'm trying to get everything organized in my head ahead of time.
I ordered our wedding bands - by myself because Jeremy was away on work - and then they arrived and they look awesome. I picked those up earlier this month and I love them.
There are a few things to do. I have to order flowers, favours, and I have some meetings coming up with our pastor and our MC's to get schedules and programs figured out.
I'm trying to think of what else I can write. The bridesmaid dresses are in and the girls like them (bonus) and the guys' suits are ordered, measured, and paid for, the ties and squares are in, the bridesmaids gifts are all done, etc. I don't know what else to write. Maybe you could comment below and let me know if I've missed anything or if you want to know anything in particular. And I will be posting photos after the wedding so that you can all have an idea of the how-to rather than just the finished product.
My Bridal Shower is this Thursday so I'm looking forward to that too. Then I'm headed to a wedding in Saskatchewan. And my next couple weekends are reunions away from home so I'm a busy, busy bride.
Until I hear from you...
