I can't believe we are married!! The last week has been so hectic, so let's see if I can remember most of went of the past couple of days...
Thursday (4/23/09):
We had to drive up to Springfield, MO (a 2 hr drive) to get the tuxes. The only guys who could come with us were DH and my brother. Both of them had fitting issues with their tuxes, so I didn't have much hope for the rest of them. Needless to say, we were not happy in the end with any of the tuxes we rented from Men's Warehouse!
We made a day trip of it though and decided to do some shopping for the honeymoon, take some un-needed gifts back and spend some of our gift cards. It was fun! When we got back we all went to my aunt's house for dinner.
Friday (4/24/09):
Got up early to take the dogs to the boarders and pick up our paychecks at work. We then found out about this huge mess going on at work involving them re-hiring an employee that was fired a month ago for very good reasons, talking about firing FH since he took her job, the current manager quitting over it, and them replacing him with someone who was fired 6 months back for sexually harassing myself and another girl at work. Yeah, talk about a scandal. And all of this the day before my wedding!!!
At one o'clock two of my bridesmaids, my mom, my aunt and myself all went to get french pedicures. It was a lot of fun! I've never had my nails done before and I love them. I'm dreading having to take them off for work on Wed.
At four o'clock most of my family showed up at the church to help decorate. We ended up having to move out a bunch of fake flowers out, which was a big pain because we had to move *everything* back where it was after the ceremony. DH called me about ten minutes before five to tell me there was a last minute meeting at work about all that is going on. So I ended up having to leave without finishing the church (and come to find out later that night, I forgot a whole bunch of stuff at home, ugh).
The meeting went until 6:15 and our rehersal was planned for 6:30, so I was kind of freaking out. Then, on the way to the rehersal DH drops a bomb on me and says that the pastor will not be at the rehersal. OMG!!! I am so pissed off and of course I'm thinking that the entire night has been ruined. My step dad really stepped up at took over, getting everyone where they needed to be. So, everything turned out all right in the end.
After the rehersal everyone met up at Pizza Hut. I think there were 35 of us total. It was a blast. I felt soooo bad for the girls who were serving us though, lol. I finally got to meet the rest of DH's family and his family got to meet mine (well, the ones they hadn't met yet).
After dinner I ran home, loaded up my car with the things that I forgot and headed out to the bar with two of my bridesmaids. We didn't end of getting there until after 10pm and I had to be up at 6:30 the next morning, so we didn't end up staying too long. After a few drinks and making fun of some really crazy guys out of the dance floor (oh yeah, and being flashed by a guy), we all headed home and crashed.
... and the rest is to come later, because we are leaving for a family cookout. :P
