Wedding Planning...

So, I haven't posted in a W-H-I-L-E. Alot has happened!

During the past few months, I have been planning for the day I marry Jeremy, our wedding! While it's exciting and great and gonna be the best day of our lives, planning is so stressful!! I have been trying to keep my bridesmaids in line as far as getting them to certain bridal showers, making sure they get their dresses altered, asking them to address invitations, etc. Yesterday, I got a wake up call from my Momma. She called me yesterday afternoon while I was putting away miscelaneous wedding gifts at Jeremy's house. She told me: "there is a whole list of things we haven't gotten to yet and we need to do them tonight!" So I said: "ok, let's hop to it! If there are things that need to be done, we'll get them done." So Momma and I went to Hobby Lobby and just about bought them out of their black and white 11x14 mats(sp?) for our 8x5 pictures, and we completely bought them out of their pink 11x14 mats. Then we headed to Walmart and bought them out of something that I can't say because some of my bridesmaids might read this and find out... hehe. Anywho, then we bought ribbon to tie around the bottles of bubbles...

Side story:
Jeremy called me yesterday when he got off work. He asked
how my day went and I asked how his day went. He asked what
I was up to for the night. I told him Momma and I had a
list of things to get done for the wedding but I only knew
of one thing for sure that we needed to get. We needed to
get ribbon to tie around the bubbles. He said: "ribbon to
tie around the bubbles? I'd love to see that trick!" I
didn't get it at first. I replied: "What do you mean? We
take the ribbon and tie it around the bubbles." He
said: "I'd love to see that trick!" Then it clicked... I
said: "We are going to tie a ribbon around the bottles of
bubbles!" Haha. He and I had a good laugh over that!

So, yesterday was a very busy day. When we went to Walmart, we went to the one in town. We went to go get white 11x14 mats because we couldn't find enough at Hobby Lobby. Well, they were asking $3.49 per mat! Yikes! Also, that Walmart had 1/2" white curling ribbon but we needed 1/8" white curling ribbon. Momma said she saw the same mats at the other Walmart (the one closer to my house) and they were $2.49 per mat. So we bought what we needed from that Walmart and headed to the other Walmart... Haha. Pretty bad when we have to go to both Walmart's in the same town! We headed to that Walmart... and they were not only $2.49, but there were two mats in each package!! Had we known that, we would have bought all of them at that Walmart instead of at Hobby Lobby. What a deal! Eh, oh well, ya learn somethin new everyday! Also, that Walmart had 1/8" white ribbon. We bought 30 yards.

So we came home, pulled out the ribbon, saw that it wasn't curling ribbon and started to play around with whether we wanted to tie it in a knot on the bottles or tie it in a bow. Momma tied it both ways and it looked great in a bow when it was tied right. But tied in a knot didn't look so pretty. About ten minutes of tying ribbon around bottles, Momma decided she would go buy the curling ribbon today so we can tie it and curl the ribbon for it to look pretty in a knot. So, all that going to two different Walmart's and we didn't even get the correct ribbon! Ah, the joys of wedding planning! Momma and I agreed last night that in about a month, we'll be able to look back and laugh at it but not before then!
