It's 3 days before the wedding. I've been a bad blogger, but maybe you got some idea of what has happened.
Our deadline for "if it hasn't been done it's probably not going to get done at this point and let's let it go" was 3 days ago.
A friend just offered to cover the cost of buying food. Today. We just arranged someone to cook a pig for us a few days ago. D's parents are still working on their yard (it looks GORGEOUS) and building us a small platform. And people keep showering us with amazing gifts as they have through this whole process. A friend is cooking breakfast for us on the day of. We took out the tablecloths my aunt bought for us last night, they're so pretty. We brought over the rug that the pastor let us borrow to D's parents last night.D's mom presented us with a signature quilt made by multiple people to use as a guestbook.
I ordered giant balloons and then we realized we have to figure out how to get 3 foot inflated balloons up to the house... lol. Only a couple of them but still. I still have some signs to make to point the way to the wedding. But mostly we've stuck to if its not done/planned by now its not gonna happen.
So that's the week leading up to the wedding. Buying a dress for my sister today. Getting beauty treatments. Bridal lingerie shower tonight. Bachelorette party tomorrow. Helping clean up the house tomorrow. Transporting things tomorrow and the next day. Rehearsal dinner, setting up. It's so so close and I'm so excited. We're all so excited and so far everything has been great.
And then we'll be married :) And if by the end of the wedding day we're married then it was a success.
Looking forward to the day of, the honeymoon, and when we come back setting up house together. I'm excited to move in to my new home.

"Aravis also had many quarrels (and, I'm afraid even fights) with Cor, but they always made it up again: so that years later, when they were grown up they were so used to quarelling and making it up again that they got married so as to go on doing it more conveniently"
