Wedding Still To Do

I can understand now why wedding TV shows film the last week or two before the wedding. That’s when the stress is really happening as everything starts to come together. We are four weeks out now and so all the things that I waited to do have to get done now!

The time has really flown by.

Yeah, there’s still a significant number of things left to do and time is rapidly slipping away! I had a panic moment last week because we’ve been dealing with a bedbug infestation and all our clothes (including my wedding dress) have been sealed in trash bags. Our whole house was a disaster area and I flipped out because I know people are going to be coming for the mendhi the day before the wedding and that’s only 30 days away now. We needed time to get the house cleaned up as well as find all my wedding stuff. I couldn’t find my jewelry for a little while. But Brad found everything for me and the infestation is being dealt with so we can get things put away again.

A good friend of ours has given us the gift of a wedding portrait! Isn’t it gorgeous?
