You are going to be such a lovely bride and I cannot wait to see how fab you looked!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/t-minus-7-days#post-925772 Mon, 06 May 2013 00:26:37 +0000 velvetychocolate 925772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am so excited for you!! <br /><br />Glad I checked in here just after Krista posted - because it really is amazing how much love and happiness surrounds a wonderful wedding. <br /><br />I remember my Dad phoning me a couple of days after my wedding (our honeymooon was delayed due to serious illness in the family) - and he was actually crying. He *never* does that. Said that he could not get over our first dance, that it was magical and like something out of a movie. A few hours later, I get a call from his ex-girlfriend/long-time family friend, 'What's wrong with your Dad? I've never seen him so emotional before.."<br /><br />Krista's right - weddings bring out so much love and happiness. My one Grandma couldn't attend (advanced Alzheimers) but her very dashing boyfriend was there, and I remember him in his fantastic white dinner jacket...*crying* - "Your Grandma would have been so happy...." and on and on. <br /><br />Seriously - it was the men who cried. My new stepson cried, my Dad cried, my Grandma's long-time boyfriend cried. Not kidding!<br /><br />I know you will look and feel beautiful. <br /><br />Just be prepared for what Krista mentions - an amazing outpouring of love, support and happiness. It will take your breath away. <br /><br />I sure hope you have waterproof mascara! <br /><br />Best wishes for a fantastic week and a beautiful wedding. <br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/t-minus-7-days#post-925641 Sun, 05 May 2013 18:29:10 +0000 Krista 925641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Have fun and best of luck, Diana! One of the things I was not prepared for (too busy planning, I think) is the outpouring of love and happiness&nbsp;from friends and family on your wedding day. &nbsp;Everyone is there for you and your husband because they are so happy for you and love you so much - I still have distinct memories of a few of these moments from my own wedding day. Such a special experience - I wish you the best! Still one of the best days of my life - so far! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/t-minus-7-days#post-925541 Sun, 05 May 2013 15:35:59 +0000 Ingunn 925541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Good luck and all the best for your big day, Diana!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/t-minus-7-days#post-925487 Sun, 05 May 2013 14:34:28 +0000 Angie 925487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ SO EXCITED I CAN'T STAND IT!!! <br /><br />Please know that we are there with you in spirit :)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/t-minus-7-days#post-925474 Sun, 05 May 2013 14:02:19 +0000 Anonymous 925474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm feeling excited too! it's catching you sound very well organised and prepared. Echoing the others in saying remember to soak up the atmosphere and to enjoy it. Take everything in and you will have lovely fond memories to look back on.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/t-minus-7-days#post-925387 Sun, 05 May 2013 10:51:44 +0000 Jjsloane 925387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm so excited for you. It all sounds sorted and I will reiterate that you have to make mental effort to remember the day - it will fly by so quickly. Something little is likely to go wrong (I brought the wrong cocktail music CD I had worked very hard on, but the band had a backup so life went on and only I knew it was missing), but don't sweat it.&nbsp;<br /><br />Have you got your borrowed, blue and sixpence for your shoe? I still have my sixpence somewhere (I had to tape it to my flipflops for the beach ceremony)&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/t-minus-7-days#post-925363 Sun, 05 May 2013 09:24:28 +0000 anne 925363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Have a wonderful, special, time Diana!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/t-minus-7-days#post-925256 Sun, 05 May 2013 01:49:17 +0000 bj1111 925256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana...wow it's finally here! You will make a beautiful bride. Soon to be mr diana is very very lucky!</p> <p>Hugs all around.</p> <p>The thing i remember of my wedding was the time i spent dancing with my new husband and feeling like it was just the two of us. Everything else that i sweated at the time, i just don't remember clearly anymore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/t-minus-7-days#post-925244 Sun, 05 May 2013 01:19:13 +0000 Diana 925244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Pil, I hadn't heard that before but now I'm glad it's on the half hour!&nbsp; (It's just that way because that's how all weddings at that venue are scheduled.)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/t-minus-7-days#post-925235 Sun, 05 May 2013 01:13:32 +0000 Anonymous 925235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Mazel tov!<br /><br />The best advice I got before my own wedding was from my dentist. &nbsp;He told me to relax, to forget "perfect," and to know that everything would be "perfect enough." &nbsp;He was right!<br /><br />So excited for you!!! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/t-minus-7-days#post-925233 Sun, 05 May 2013 01:12:42 +0000 pil 925233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, is your ceremony at the half hour for good luck? Ours was after I heard that having it on the uptick was good luck. 28 years now and so far, so good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/t-minus-7-days#post-925216 Sun, 05 May 2013 00:57:34 +0000 Diana 925216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, everyone!&nbsp; I'm feeling surprisingly not too stressed about the wedding.&nbsp; (Have transferred stress to the imminent apartment move when we get back to Boston though so I'm still not sleeping well, LOL.)<br /><br />Well, I'm not sure how much relaxing there will be before the wedding but definitely after the wedding.&nbsp; On Sunday we have mothers' day events with both families, but on Monday we are skipping town to drive up the CA coast for a 5-day mini honeymoon (real one will have to wait until J. can take more time off).&nbsp; We haven't really planned it at all, and are going to play it by ear a bit. <br /><br />O, we do have quite a bit to do the day before the wedding but some of it is fun stuff like getting my mani/pedi with my sister and having lunch w/ our siblings at our favorite microbrewery/pub out there.&nbsp; Also wedding rehearsal and rehearsal dinner.&nbsp; Luckily the ceremony is not until 4:30 so I won't have to get up at the crack of dawn to get ready.&nbsp; (I probably will anyway, but it's nice not to have to rush...)<br /><br />Pil, I just posted another thread with old pictures of me.&nbsp; Some cute, some good for a laugh at least.&nbsp; ;)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/t-minus-7-days#post-925197 Sun, 05 May 2013 00:25:00 +0000 MsMary 925197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So fun!&nbsp; Good luck as you enter the final stretch!!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/t-minus-7-days#post-925185 Sun, 05 May 2013 00:04:55 +0000 pil 925185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How exciting! Looking forward to more photos - I loved the pics of you and your fiancee as toddlers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/t-minus-7-days#post-925184 Sun, 05 May 2013 00:02:03 +0000 Ornella 925184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm so glad I checked in.&nbsp;<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />One advice from me:&nbsp;Try to leave the last day before free of any errands and go to bed early the night before the wedding.<br /><br />Enjoy, make many happy memories. Have good breakfast and&nbsp;don't forget to eat the actual&nbsp;dinner you not just paid for, but also&nbsp;chose carefully :)<br /><br />I can't wait to see the photos. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/t-minus-7-days#post-925183 Sun, 05 May 2013 00:00:29 +0000 annagybe 925183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ah congrats! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/t-minus-7-days#post-925174 Sat, 04 May 2013 23:46:36 +0000 Caro in Oz 925174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow so soon?<br /><br />I agree the most important thing is to have fun on the day &amp; remember why you are doing this. <br /><br />Have a wonderful day:) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/t-minus-7-days#post-925160 Sat, 04 May 2013 23:28:59 +0000 lyn* 925160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Remember to take some time out for yourself and your hubs to be to relax and enjoy the final push towards your wedding!<br /><br />Congratulations!!! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/t-minus-7-days#post-925131 Sat, 04 May 2013 22:49:23 +0000 Anonymous 925131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, I can't believe the day is almost here.

Don't get stressed about the little things. It's about you and your soon-to-be DH.<br /><br />Wishing the two of you the most amazing lifetime together full of love and laughter.<br /><br />Oh yeah...and you are going to look STUNNING :)<br /><br />Isn't it crazy how quick the date arrived? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/t-minus-7-days#post-925104 Sat, 04 May 2013 21:53:10 +0000 Diana 925104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Getting married in one week!&nbsp; Eek! <br /><br />Most of the big things are done.&nbsp; Have just paid balance of enormous catering bill (seriously enormous, probably more than everything else put together) and less enormous but still daunting venue fee so no backing out now. ;)<br /><br />Today's project is putting together pictures (baby and grown-up) of us for the&nbsp; slideshow.&nbsp; I already used many of these for our custom photo guestbook so it shouldn't be too hard a task.&nbsp; <br /><br />We fly out on Tuesday.&nbsp; Once we get out there there are a bunch of small but important things to get done.&nbsp; Like the hair/makeup trial, getting marriage license, wedding rehearsal, pick up booze, manicure/pedicure, final meetings with some vendors, etc.&nbsp; <br /><br />The weather forecast looks fantastic.&nbsp; high of 80, low of 55, no rain in sight (which is a huge relief as the venue is almost 100% outdoors).&nbsp; Hopefully the big SoCal brush fire (which is about 20-30 miles away from the venue) will have cleared up by next week.<br /><br />Anyway, wish me luck!&nbsp; I am excited about getting married but I want the planning/doing stuff part to be over <i>now.</i><br /><br />My friend told me that there are only 5 things you need for a successful wedding; here it is - I think we're all set according to her metrics!<br /><br />bride: check<br />groom: check<br />officiant: check<br />fabulous dress: check<br />venue: check<br />
