DJ, Dress Fitting, Ceremony Vows

{source, unknown}

Wowzers has a lot been happening in the wedding department these last few days...and I'm sure it's just gonna get crazier.  Now that we have such a short amount of time before the big day, I'm realizing just how much I have left to do. 

A LOT.

My dad booked a DJ so that's a bit of a relief.  I can stop downloading iTunes songs to play at the reception.  Plus, someone can introduce us and things of that nature.  And maybe make everyone do YMCA and Limbo - fun wedding favorites.... :-)  Ooohh, and the Chicken Dance.

I also had my last dress fitting.  I have pretty much given up on losing weight and toning up for the wedding.  What ya see is what ya get - I think I'm a good 5 pounds heavier than I was when I started my diet.  Haha.  And I haven't lifted a weight in who knows how many years - maybe since my sisters wedding in 2008...  Oh wait, I think I lifted one up at Target to see the price and then set it right back down. 

My nails are hopeless too.  Sorry nails - you lose.  Oh wait, what am I talking about - I don't have any nails.  I seem to have eaten them all off.  Again.  That was a no-win goal if I've ever seen one!

What else have I been working on??  Oh my ceremony and translations.  I finally translated the vows, the ring exchange, and the Arras Ceremony into Spanish.  We are not doing the entire ceremony in Spanish and since Ivan already knows what everything means - since I've asked him about everything a gazillion times - he doesn't need a translation the day of.  Along with the Las Arras, we are also incorporating a Jumping the Broom ceremony which I am quite excited about.  It seems that it is mainly an African American tradition, but I think it's really cool so I'm incorporating it into my ceremony.  I like the idea of borrowing traditions from other cultures and working them into my ceremony.

Other exciting news - my cake topper is done!!  Sophia did an AMAZING job and I LOVE it.  I can't wait to show you.  I have pics but I kinda want it to be a surprise at the wedding so you'll have to wait.  It's great though - you will love it.

Ok, I guess I'll stop with the update.  There's a bunch more stuff going on and I'm super excited about all of it and getting a little stressed about it too. 

Wedding = gray hairs!!
