Wedding Week

It's been a very calm and uneventful wedding week so far. The plan from the beginning was to have all the major work done by the end of last week so this could be a very calm time for all of us. Most of the fun stuff has been this week. Recap a bit...
We had the final meeting with the florist and decorator. Just made all of us even more excited!
We all got our highlights done, well we girls did. I had gray to cover, girls just covered dark. Fun!! John did get his cut and Michael got the 2nd cut in 2 weeks.
Chrissie and Michael finished the slide show, they are so techno. Haven't watched it yet and may not for a few weeks. Hope you all enjoy it at the wedding but I won't be in there during that.
Lots of thank you notes written...you go Chrissie.
Programs are done...woohoo.
We pick the portrait up tomorrow and they head to Augusta to get aisle markers and tuxedos. Whoo, I think this is really going to happen.
The worst thing of all...Chrissie is packing up the room. I just thought that was rough when she packed up to go to school but this is ridiculous. John is already making his plans to move in and I am mourning the loss of a true fashionista girly room. She and Jess have cleaned out clothes, shoes, bags, etc. so thinking there's a lot of stuff for some girls to come over and sort through. It's all there for the taking.
Family and friends start coming into town tomorrow and Stephen is coming back from his trip to Toccoa and I am def ready to see his face. Thinking tomorrow night is going to be the last "6 of us" dinner around the kitchen table with Chrissie making the menu, whatever she wants.
All in all it's been a very stress-free week and I have to say I have loved my role as mother of the bride.
Friday is fun day: manis and pedis (girls only), lunch, checking out the church, rehearsal and dinner and the bachelor/bachelorette party at the house.
Guess the next blog will be wedding highlights. Covet your prayers that all will go well and the only one glorified will be the Lord Jesus. May His presence be real and felt by all. Much love and many thanks to so many who have made all of this come about. You have offered so much help, words of encouragement, gifts to get them started, prayers that we have felt, so many different ways you have put love into action on our behalf. We are so thankful for all of our family and friends. You make all of this so much more fun and enjoyable. Blessings to all.
