Crunch time - 6 days!

Mom and Dad, Brooke and Nick, Mia, and Jason and I went to the ranch yesterday to do some setup. It went really well, and I'm just so excited to marry my Best Friend!


This is the stage for the band, in pieces

Decor: LOTS of cheesecloth, tissue paper poms, and chinese lanterns, and of course Birdcages!

18 days. 2 and a half weeks.

Today I'm going to Edward-Macy in Downtown Lakeland for my wedding dress fitting.

Last night I looked at the calendar and noticed the wedding is 2 1/2 weeks away, and I'm starting to freak out a little. Not because I'm getting married, or getting cold feet. Not because my life (and my last name) is about to change. I'll be filing taxes for two next year. Status is no longer "single." In 18 days, I will have a husband instead of a boyfriend. (aside: I feel funny using the word fiancé, I don't know why, it's just a word.) I'll be changing my Social Security Card, Drivers License, and email to say Percy instead of Gilpin. I'll be getting 2 step-children.

None of these things even phase my countenance. I'm thrilled and overjoyed that I'm marrying the man of my dreams. It's the party planner in me that's freaking out.

I laid awake in bed thinking "2 1/2 weeks...2 1/2 weeks!" I've checked off so many things on my To Do list, but there's still so much to do, not to mention working 5 days and 3 nights a week. There are things I HAVE to do, and items on the list that can be moved a little lower to the "optional" area of the list.

Jason offered to help yesterday, but I was getting ready for work, and didn't have time to show him all the steps that were needed. I am a bit of a control freak when it comes to making things, so I've just accepted that I gotta do it, and do it quickly.

At least he's got nice shoes.

Misc Stuff for the wedding...

The owls are my cake topper, from etsy - claylicious

I hand painted/spray painted the menu - chalkboard paint, and acrylic for the Menu Flag.

Memento stamp pads for the thumbprint tree.

Perfect birdcage for the wedding reception!

I stopped at a yard sale and picked these brooches up :)

tissue poms... I'm going cross eyed making these.

Vintage aqua/turquoise Strawberry I picked up from a local shop. It just seems like happiness, doesn't it?


Rustic Birdhouse from Joann Fabrics - 50% off - can't say no to that!
The cake lady gave me samples of wedding cake... cupcakes! Strawberry, Orange, Chocolate, Red Velvet, and Choco-Coconut. I obliterated the orange.

ahh Photography Inspiration...

Wedding Party:
No Bridesmaids, No groomsmen.
The officiant is my cousin Debbie, who was a flower girl in my parent's wedding,
and my mom was a bridesmaid in hers!
My Dad will walk me down the aisle.
And of course there's Jason and I.
LOVE!



There will be trees, and hopefully diffused light underneath the canopy.

No garter throw, no bouquet throw.
(My bouquet would cause injury)
