The countdown to our wedding day is going faster by the minute! With wedding To Do’s, blog To Do’s, and just regular life To Do’s, it’s starting to feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day. It’s wonderful and crazy-making at the same time. So, if you’re getting married before the end of the year, and feeling a little nuts, I thought I’d share these words of wisdom from an email my friend Meg wrote to me recently:
My godmothers are hosting a bridal shower for me this weekend, and both of my sisters have flown in for it, which has just made my week. Not only don’t I get to see them often enough, but my older sister has a bun in the oven that’s due (get this) on our wedding day. I’d say that’s pretty much a guarantee she’ll have more important things to do that day, so I’m really glad she was able to make it for the shower (she also brought my two nephews with her, so I get to hang out with them; plus the littler one likes to brush my hair which is always okay with me).

How are you spending your weekend? How about some fun links first?
Don’t you love seeing the journey of this jewel?
Love this chicken‘s hairdo.
Disco ball staircase.
Drooling over the packaging on this vintage French chocolate box.
Why aren’t you wearing a dress?
Especially this dress!
These Winnie-the-Pooh stamps are the sweetest thing.
Wish this dress lived in my closet.
Is that marshmallow I see?
It’s 85-degrees here, but if it’s fall where you are (I’m jealous), some October things to do.
$9 wedding dress. That’s right, nine dollars.
Have a happy weekend everyone!

LOVELY links! Have a great wedding weekend!
Uhgh, WHY did you have to post that feather dress? And now it’s SOLD? I’m heartbroken.
Those stamps are SO cute. I wish we had Royal Post.
This weekend is my kiddo’s second birthday party! Ten toddlers! Their parents! The weather forecast sucks and we are all going to be inside my very small house! At least my husband is making pumpkin cupcakes from Smitten Kitchen so all will be right with the world. Good luck with the countdown to the wedding. I actually got a big thrill from writing out the last massive to do list and slowly crossing everything off. I think I still have it somewhere.
My friends and I made that music video. I was there! I threw a pie right in a girls face that day. Hollywood, right?
Is your friend with the very sage advice Meg of ‘A Practical Wedding’? I learned about her through you, her blog is fabulous! Have so much fun and enjoy these parties thrown in honor of you and your new step in life- you deserve it! :)
