5 Days Away!!!!!

Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh, Oh my GOSH!!!!!! I cannot believe that we are actually less than a week from our wedding day. And congratulations to me for not turning full blown "Bridezilla", believe me, I have been tried these past couple of weeks...lol. Well anyways, I am down to the last home stretch and trying to figure out some last minute things. We have all of the major things completed; Venue, DJ, Food, Flowers, Linens, Bar package and stuff. Now I am working on some small things like programs, a card box, and decorations along with my sweet table.
I was a bit nervous because we were having such trouble scheduling a rehearsal but that is all taken care of. Whoo Hoo!!! I have been so super busy with wedding stuff that I have not posted in a while.
Aaron and I both had our bachelor and bridal/bachelorette parties this weekend and they were a blast, I have no idea what he did but I know that he had FUN!!!!
I feel like everything that we worked so hard on is coming in to full circle and I am beyond excited!!! I most definitely will be updating soon :)

My bridal shower cake!

The guest of honor!

Shhhhh, A Surprise Gift for my Groom!

Against his own insistence, I have decided to go ahead and get my groom a gift on our wedding but it is not at all what he thinks! I do in fact know that we are on a budget, I think I know better than he does...lol. So I am being very conscious of that and getting him something small and thoughtful, well at least I think that it's thoughtful! Many brides buy their grooms watches or custom made cuff links but that really isn't him. What my groom does like is funky socks! He goes to Urban Outfitters and buys all of these crazy color and patterned socks. And it just so happens upon this idea via the Something Turquoise's blog. These are DIY groom's "cold feet" socks!
The blog of course lays out instructions of how to do these yourself! There is an attachment to print the label or you can make your own. The label is so cute! It reads "for my handsome groom, just in case you get cold feet, keep warm  darling, love your bride"! When I saw this, I just knew that it would be an awesome fit for him! And I think that I am going to throw in a small bottle of E&J Brandy in with it (his favorite drink)! He is going to be super surprised, I cannot wait!!!!
