Brian and Cindy's Wedding 5/13/06

[CindySue]

Oh......I dont know if you can see them, but the little serving trays and stuff on the table my sister got at Wal Mart for less than $2. I went and got a few more and a couple different ones to use at the reception too. They are the exact turquoise color!!!!!

These will be perfect for the menu we are having!

[CindySue]

Can never complain about a little extra lifting... :D
Especially if you have ever had kids!

[bnd94]

;) Great nightie Cindy! Very sexy!!

That turquoise color is so pretty. Everything is going to look so great!:D

[brewsells]

I love the color of the bowls! That is great you found that color of bowls to match everything. It will look great. And they will be verstatile. Can use them again.

I really like that. It's very summery looking.

[CindySue]

I have 3 flat trays for the sandwiches, I need another sectioned tray for the fruit tray (already have one for the veggies), I got 3 of these ones that have a little bowl attached to a bigger tray for the chips and dips and Im going to use the big bowls for the punches!

[MOB Karen]

OMG, Cindy, I just noticed your ticker! You are down to days, girl!! It looks like you have it all under control. Everything sounds yummy! I can't wait to see all the pictures to see how everything came together.

When is your Bachelorette Party? I can't wait to hear about that?

[Jenn060306]

That is so coold that you can get your marriage licence today! I am so exsited for ya! :bbmrgreen:

[countrygirl]

You are getting so close Cindy, you must be totally excited.

[MOB Karen]

Did you have a big wedding the first time, Cindy? Just curious.

[Kacie_bride]

I am getting nervous for you Cindy!

[CindySue]

Well thats done! And it hardly hurt at all! I was WAY more nervous than Brian was. But I feel better now that its over.
And Karen, no I didnt have a wedding the 1st time. I just went down to the court house. Thats why Brian made me plan this one, because I didnt have one before.

That is so sweet Cindy. I can tell that he really does love you. You are a lucky gal!!

[CindySue]

That is so sweet Cindy. I can tell that he really does love you. You are a lucky gal!!
The only thing is when he starts griping about how much work a wedding is, I have to remind him that this was all his idea. While I didnt want to do the JP thing with Brian, I would have preferred a destination wedding.

[countrygirl]

It will pay off in the long run Cindy. As long as Brian doesn't become groomzilla!! Haha, Icrack myself up!!

[CindySue]

Ive called him that before. He didnt think I was funny!

I wouldn't think he would!! I think it's great though!!!

I think that's just wonderful of him!

[CindySue]

I think that's just wonderful of him!
For the most part it is......although there has been more than a few times that I have wanted to :chair: for making me do this!

[CindySue]

Ok.....This is what I have accomplished in the last week or so......

All kids clothes are bought.
We have our marriage license.
We sampled the chicken salad that we want to serve at the reception and like it.
We have the yard ready for the reception
We have our rehearsal scheduled for the 11th. (this is more for our officiant than us. This is his 1st ceremony!)
I confirmed reservations for tables and the honeymoon.Theres only a few minor details to work out, nothing major at all, and that should be taken care of by this weekend.

I think Im ready now!!!!!

[MOB Karen]

Where are you going for your honeymoon? Is your family going to watch your kids for you?

[CindySue]

Where are you going for your honeymoon? Is your family going to watch your kids for you?
Yeah. They are going to go spend the night Sat with my dad and then hes going to come back to the house and watch them Sun - Wed while we go to a B & B in Jefferson, Texas.

[MOB Karen]

Awwwwwwwwww! How nice! That sounds wonderful!

[brewsells]

That does sound nice. It's hard to have a getaway with kids. I'm in the same boat myself.

[CindySue]

That does sound nice. It's hard to have a getaway with kids. I'm in the same boat myself.
Hes even teased and said thats why we are getting married.....to have a vacation from kids.

[brewsells]

That is what my FH says too! It will be a nice break for sure. I might get lucky and get a week away.

[countrygirl]

That is what my FH says too! It will be a nice break for sure. I might get lucky and get a week away.

I LIKE THAT IDEA!!

[brewsells]

I LIKE THAT IDEA!!
Me too! I think with my parents and his parents, we might pull it off..

[countrygirl]

Me too! I think with my parents and his parents, we might pull it off..

J's mom is staying intown for the week after to watch my son, if we need her too. J's kids will be back w thier mom, but my mom and my MOH have also offered to stay in our side of town and watch him as well.

[usahgrad]

Less than a week away! You look like you're so much more on top of things than I am! Congratulations in advance Cindy! Here's to your beautiful day!

[CindySue]

Thanks Kelli....and heres to your beautiful day too.:cheers:

All I have left to buy for the reception is the forks, spoons and knives, which will not be a problem.

Thursday I will get the fruit, veggies, chips and dips. I think we are picking up the tables and chairs on Friday afternoon.

Other than that, I dont think we need anything. Everything else is covered by someone else and is taken care of.

[rainbowtreat]

I am so excitedf or you Cindy. I cant imagine what I will be like a week before the wedidng. I also am going to have a hosue full. So enough people to help me get the last min things done. I cant beleive it is less than a week away for you. Have fun girl. You have worked hard for this. Heres to hopign you have the best time of your life.

[CindySue]

Thanks Gwen!
Im not really stressed out today. We got a bunch of "spring cleaning" done around the house yesterday. Besides we have WAY more done than I thought we would at this point! Theres only minor things to do around the house, and weve printed out a calendar for this week and I have what I need to do "scheduled" so that I can space it out and not be in a mad rush to get everything done, but still be able to "relax" somewhat.
I just can not believe Im getting married on Saturday!!!!!!

[countrygirl]

5 days cindy!!! 5 days cindy!!! 5 days cindy!!!!

[bnd94]

Wow time sure flies!! It doesn't seem too long ago when you had to wait months and now just 5 days.

You sound very relaxed. That is great Cindy. I am sure it is a relief to have the major things all done. See you can tell Brian all that planning really does pay off. ;)

[CindySue]

Thanks yall.....Im sooooo ready for it to just be over with!
See you can tell Brian all that planning really does pay off. ;)
Oh I did......especially when the stuff popped up this weekend and we are having to rearrange a little. I asked him what he thought it would be like if I had waited to plan this thing.

[usahgrad]

Thanks yall.....Im sooooo ready for it to just be over with!

Oh I am right there with you! I can't wait to see all your pictures!

[Kacie_bride]

You are getting sooo close Cindy! I am so excited for you! I know everything will be just great and beautiful! I am not that far from you, so I will defiantely be thinking of you on your big day this weekend! Yippeee for you! :bblol:

[LaceyinPgh]

Four days, Cindy! I know that you are going to be busy, like Kelli. I just wanted to let you know that I will be thinking of you on your big day. I know with all the time and work that you have put into it, that it is going to be as perfect as a wedding day can be. I just wanted to let you know that I am so proud of you for not stringing Brian or his dogs up by their toenails and for not selling your children to the circus. You held up far better than I would have if I were having my wedding in 4 days AT my house. Best of luck. I can't wait to hear all about it.

[CindySue]

Thanks yall.....Im tired and more than a little cranky because of lack of sleep, but Im not stressed like I thought Id be. Brian had to MAKE me go to bed last night. I wanted to stay up and clean. He says if I clean things any better, Ill clean the paint right off the walls.:bbconfused:

Cindy, I know the feeling! I'm going crazy!

I can't wait to see your pictures and hear how everything goes! I know you've worked so hard and I can't wait to see how everything turns out!

[StaceyMc]

I wanted to wish you luck! I know that your wedding will be wonderful!!!! Can't wait to see the pics!!!

[CindySue]

I wanted to wish you luck! I know that your wedding will be wonderful!!!! Can't wait to see the pics!!!
Thanks Stacey.....I have to remember that this day is for me and Brian and the start of a new chapter in our lives together. I keep losing focus of that...Im trying too hard to make sure things look good for everybody else. But thats the joys of having the reception at our home!!!

[StaceyMc]

You're a better woman than I am, having your reception at your home. And you're right, the day is about you and Brian.

[CindySue]

You're a better woman than I am, having your reception at your home. And you're right, the day is about you and Brian.
And we thought we would save money by having it there!!!!!! We have spent WAY more fixing up the house for this reception than we would have renting some place. Granted this was all stuff we were going to do eventually, and its stuff we can enjoy now and dont have to worry about because its already done, but we just had not planned on spending so much money on the house in such a short time!

[LaceyinPgh]

Consider it a big expensive wedding gift to yourselves.

[CindySue]

Consider it a big expensive wedding gift to yourselves.
Thats EXACTLY what Brian said. Well actually it was the not having to do all of this stuff this summer was our wedding gift to ourselves!

[rainbowtreat]

Cindy I just wanted to say an early congrats!!! You are almost there and the night mare of the planning is over and now you can enjoy all your hard work. I can't wait to see pictures. I will be htinking of you while I am at work on Sat. and then home to finish putting this place together. Would much rather be at your wedding. I feel like I know you so well. All of you. Have fun and enjoy the day.

[usahgrad]

I don't know if I'll be able to jump on between now and the time you are married, so to you and your very soon to be husband, Cindy, I wish you all the best for your special day! Enjoy it!:cheers:

[Jenn060306]

Cindy your wedding is going to be fantastic! Have a great time! I know you will! All your hard work will be soooo worth it!

[CindySue]

Thanks yall! Im kinda sick this morning. I have a touch of a cold, but I think I will be just fine tomorrow. Brian told me this morning that I cant get sick. I told him that I wasnt trying to!! I a little nervous, but mostly just ready!

[brewsells]

I hope you feel better by tomorrow, Cindy. Might just be a case of the nerves.. TOMORROW!!OMG!! I am so excited for you! Can't wait to hear all about it!

Go to the store right now. Buy Zicam which shortens the duration of the cold and start inhaling it. Also, pick up some Airborne which are these little tablets you dissolve in water. They are just a super concnetrated vitamin deal that teachers swear by. I take one every monring when I am walking out the door. THey help prevent and shorten colds and flus.

Actually, Im finishing up some deposits to take to the bank and then I was headed straight to the drug store. Im sure most of my problems are being caused by lack of sleep. Brian said tonight he was going to drug me then hog tie me to make sure I stayed in bed and slept all night. He said he was not taking a grumpy woman on HIS honeymoon!

[Kacie_bride]

It might be allergies Cindy. About 2 days ago I got the same thing and so does Justin and our roommate. I feel alright today. Everything is blooming right now so that is probably what is wrong.

[LaceyinPgh]

You're getting married today. I am so excited for you. I hope that you have a wonderful day with you family, friends, and soon to be/new husband. Enjoy every second. I'll be thinking about you and Kelli.

[ikkin510]

Cindy
I just wanted to wish you all the happiness in the world for today and the rest of your life. I hope you got some sleep and your feeling better. Best wishes and Enjoy the day. Everything is going to look perfect. You and Brian did an awesome job with the preperation.
Congrats Sweetie!

Nikki :bbbiggrin:

[AllyM1]

Cindy, I hope your day is fantastic! Have fun, and again, Congratulations! =)

[rainbowtreat]

In about 4 more hours Cindy will be a married woman. Congrats Cindy, you made it. I cant wait to see and hear all about it. Have fun on your honeymoon.

[LizabethDavis]

Congrats Cindy! You are probably married and loving it by now! I hope your day turns out to be everything you wanted! Good luck and hurry back with pictures!
