Brian and Melissa

I realized today that it has been a very long time since I’ve written anything on here! And despite the fact that I’m super busy at work, I thought I’d take the time to give a quick update.

I can’t believe the wedding is only 2 weeks away. I keep going through these phases where 1 day I’ll be in total panic mode and be worried that I’m not going to get everything done, and then the next day Melissa will be in panic mode and I’ll be the one who calms her down and tells her not to worry. I know that no matter what happens, the wedding will be great! There isn’t a lot left to do anymore. The rehearsal is booked for the Wednesday before the wedding, and I know Melissa is super-nervous about it. She’s terrified of the attention she is going to receive when she walks down the aisle. I have marched in a few weddings before (Jodi and Neal’s) so I’m a little more used to it. I’m just more nervous about actually forgetting to bring something or forgetting to pay someone or forgetting to do something I need to do. The worst part is we’re leaving for our honeymoon for 2 weeks right after, so once we head down to the Eglinton Grand on the day of the wedding, we probably can’t come back home if we forgot anything! We have to pack our suitcases and organize our passports and US money all before the wedding, in addition to all the wedding stuff.

While I’m on the subject of tasks, I found a great website that lets you keep track of all your tasks: http://www.toodledo.com. And if you have an iPhone or iPod touch, you can pay $1.99 and download the application which will sync all your tasks from there with it.

Almsost there!

OH MY GOD, I’M LIKE THROWING UP.

I woke up this morning and like couldn’t get back to sleep, because it reallllllly hit me this time that i’d be getting married in like two weeks. OMG just typing this is making me feel sick.

Not that I don’t wanna get married, I do. But like frig, ugh… it’s just so not my style to be the centre of attention, (duh!).

THIS SUCKS! OH and I had a hair trial yesterday that sucked too. I feel like a stupid girly bride who’s freaking out about her hair. But like really, I have no one to do my hair!!

Tomorrow is my last fitting and veil picking out day. I am super nervous for that too. I have the day off of work, and i’ll be spending most of it working on a website for this guy, and then leaving to go get my dress. I’ll do anything to keep my mind off the wedding! eek!

We haven’t written anything in a while, we’ve been so beyond busy it’s like not even funny. So, while Brian is sleeping, and I’m waiting for him to get up so we can go get breakfast, i’ll take this time to write every update I can.

Last Sunday was my bridal shower, it was a lot of fun, lots of good food and we got really amazing gifts. It was really nice, I hope everyone enjoyed it. I have to finish sending thank you cards, so that’s what i’ll be doing today i think. I hate people who don’t send out thank you cards, so i’m super on top of that.

Yesterday was my friend Amanda’s wedding. It was crazy because we’ve been planning our weddings together, so to see hers come to life was super scary for me. I was like omg so this is what happens! I know that doesn’t make sense, but to me it does.

It was literally one of the nicest weddings i’ve ever been to, and her and Josh look so amazing together. I don’t have any pics because i don’t have a camera, but I think Brian took some so i’ll post how pretty she was soon. But yeah, it was really beautiful.

It’s so scary, cuz all our countdowns are coming to life. Like we were saying, once this happens that means the wedding is on x days away, and once this happens the wedding is only x days away, etc… so Amanda’s wedding was, actually let me backtrack. Guin’s awesome wedding which is on my top 3 list of weddings, her wedding we were like k, omg after Guin’s wedding, ours is only 2 months away or something. And Amanda’s after hers, it’s the last wedding, then it’s ours! EEK!

Did I write about our honeymoon yet? I don’t think i did… so we are trying to find a nice hotel in toronto for after the wedding, but so far we can’t find anything. We wanted The Hyatt or the Four Seasons, but for two nights they are the price of our whole honeymoon. haha. so they’re out. So the plan is, two days in a hotel in Toronto, then 3 days in Los Angeles (and maybe we’ll skip to vegas for one day), and then a week in Cabo San Lucas. We can’t wait, it’s gonna be such an awesome vacation. Not because of where we’re going, but it’s gonna be nice to just be on vacation and not have to think about planning anything anymore. No more condos, houses, cars, weddings, etc… just lying on the beach with nothing. LOL WE’RE GONNA BE SO BORED!!!!

So tonight is Brian’s bachelor party, he’s going to Dave and Buster’s, and i’m assuming a strip club afterwards. I’m super excited, he’s gonna have so much fun! I wish I could go! hehe.
I’ll let him write more about it though.

I guess that’s it. THREE WEEKS LEFT! *barf*.

Good times. I’m gonna throw up. And my camera got stolen. So I don’t have pictures to post.

Ugh, It’s officially one month till our wedding. I literally almost just threw up a little bit.

A few things have gone on…

I still don’t have a hair stylist, it’s getting late… my coordinator just emailed me saying “Melissa, you’re the calmest bride I’ve met”. Heh. Probably. I dunno, I don’t really care… like same for this whole planning, like what the bridesmaids should wear, what should happen here and there… I dunno. I care, i mean I want things to be amazing and beautiful, and I have planned a lot…. but when it comes down to it, it just feels like the wedding (while it is super important), it’s not really the hugest deal to me. I think a lot of couples get caught up in their wedding and it’s this huge thing, like this crazy thing and all they want is the wedding, they don’t care who they are marrying, or that they are even fighting with the person and stuff, they just want this wedding. So i’m the opposite, I care about the wedding, but I care about being married more than just this one day. I mean this is ONE DAY in the start of your whole life together. I think we should focus more on our whole lives together than just one day. That’s what’s important to me. And knowing I’m getting married to someone awesome, who six years ago I was like “omg i hope we get married one day” was my thought process, is pretty cool. So that’s what I care about. We both have said we could get married in an alley with no one around and it wouldn’t matter, because we just wanted to be married.

So, yeah while I do care about the wedding and the planning, and don’t get me wrong I have fought for the stuff I really wanted…. it just feels like, why should i stress out over anything? No matter what it’s gonna be amazing, and no matter what Brian and I will still be there, and no matter what, the outcome will be that we are married. So, hair stylist or not… hehe. BUT having said all that I should probably find a hairstlyist. LOL.

Umm Oh yeah, so I had this dream my dress looked way too big. Like it’s too much. So much so that I went and bought a new dress and it was a huge deal, but this dress was way smaller and didn’t even look like a wedding dress. Then I got arrested for something. HAHA totally unrelated I guess. So ugh, I hope my dress isn’t too much. I dunno, I think it is. I think it’s way too big, but too late now. I still love it though. I always say this, then I put it on and i’m like “aww”. It’s so princessy, it’s actually kind of embarassing.

So we still don’t have our honeymoon set up because every travel agent closes at six. And 1. I’m beyond swamped at work so there’s no way i’m leaving remotely before 6, and 2. Even if I had to make it there by 6, i’d have to leave at 4:30 which wouldn’t happen. So that sucks, we dunno what to do.
We also don’t have our hotel room booked. We wanted to book something for after the wedding, so we didn’t have to come all the way back up here to Richmond Hill, plus because it just feels weird to just have this big huge day and then go back home like usual. lol. So we want to book the Hyatt in Yorkville, and then like a spa day the next day, because they have an amazing spa. But we’ve just both been so busy that no one has had time. We better get on it though!

Anyway, the countdown is seriously on. I obviously can’t write a lot about this because it makes me throw up. Even at our tasting when we were at Eglinton and everyone was talking about how it’s gonna be, i was like freaking out as was Brian. We were both like clutching eachother’s hand under the table. But like frig, it really feels like the countdown is on now! Tomorrow is my what appears is going to be an insanely awesome bachelorette, and then Sunday is my bridal shower that Brian’s Aunt Lynda, Aunt Darlene and his Bubbie Fay are throwing for me. Then after that, we just wait. Brian has his bachelor party and stuff, but that’s it. We’re done. OMG seriously my stomach kills writing this. We’re so like messed up nervous, we keep saying to eachother “what the hell did we do!”. Eek!! We just both want it to be over, but we really don’t want it to be over. If that makes any sense.
