We are fastly approaching the big day! Under ten days to go! Sunday will be just a week left! You could say that it’s all starting to hit me now (not in a bad way).
We’ve done a lot in the past few weeks. Finalized the program, purchased our wedding bands, bought the kippahs, picked up our marriage license — just to name a few.
Benchers should arrive this weekend and the printed programs will be ready on Monday. Not too much to do after that. Finalize seating, prepare the out-of-towner baskets, print out schedules for Shabbos, and finalize the wedding day schedule are about all I can think of. (I’m sure Ash can think of about 50 more things.)
Ash has been awesome in all of this. I don’t know how she does it. She’s been relatively calm (even though I have seen her stress level rise recently) through the whole process. I wasn’t expecting but was preparing for a bride-zilla. She has been nothing of the sort.
We both have a short week next week (only working Monday and Tuesday), but I’m quite certain that the real stress will start to happen then.
My family arrives on Wednesday/Thursday, so that will be nice for me. (Can’t wait to see Olivia!) I’m going to TRY and relax as much as possible on Wednesday and Thursday (don’t know if I will be able to though) and I’m going to try and hit the gym those days, too (to relieve whatever stress may be building up). Dad will be with me, so that will be nice. I’m shipping mom to the Berger’s to help Rachelle and Ash with the final preparations (sorry mom, someone’s got to bite the bullet).
I’ll try to post more as the day approaches (hopefully it will be easier to do so with time off). In the meantime, I leave you with the video/song that has been lodged in my brain ever since we hit the 10 day mark.
