"I tried to put the tea in the cup/glass cabinet..."

So, this is just ONE of my lastest doings. I was getting a glass of tea at Matt's parent's house and I was trying to put the tea back into the cabinet instead of the frigerator. lol!
Apparently, once you get into the last 10-ish days until your wedding, your mind starts going crazy and you get your words all flip-flopped. Yesterday, I couldn't say anything right! And today, I was thinking people said something other than what they really said. Ha ha! So watch out if you are getting married or when you do! It'll get you too! :)
We just bought our programs last night, so now all we have to do is type up the layout and print them off. We finished our favors on Thursday night... that was a very time consuming job, but glad it's over.
I still need to get a guest book and pen... haven't had any luck finding one I really like. And there's no time to really order a nice one and it get here in time since there's only 8 days until the wedding. We also need to finalize all the music for the wedding and whatnot.
I'm completely sure there'll be something we have completely forgotten by that day, but all we can say is, "Oh, well!" Can't really do anything about it, it happens. I'm just glad it's finally getting here!

Hmm.... 19 days....

Wow, 2 weeks and 5 days.... and I'm going to be MARRIED! I can't wait! Especially for DISNEYYYYYYY!!!!!!

I'm still having trouble with finding the right shoes... if all else fails... I'm going BAREFOOT! haha :) It will need to be hemmed though basically any route I take unless I decide to kill myself with some CRAZY heels... but all is good. I'm not stressed about it. :)

I just want to say, that I have THE BEST people in my life!!!! We have gotten such great gifts/advice from everyone and I am sooo blessed to have them (you) in my life! I couldn't ask for a greater group of friends and family. You have all gone above and beyond for us, and you really should'nt have. But we DO APPRECIATE each and every thing you have given us! You do not even know how much it means to us. A LOT!!!! I cannot wait to see everyone at the wedding!!! It's going to be so much fun!!!!! :D

WE LOVE YOU ALLLL!!!!!!

23 Days & Counting!!!! Well, actually 22 days and 23 hours...

But who's really keeping up?! ha ha :)

I had my 2nd ever bridal shower yesterday. My work family (Reeves-Sain) threw me a shower, and it was awesome! Best food ever! Thanks to everyone for that! I got some great stuff! They are sooo nice and very loving and giving! My bridesmaid, Jessica, wrote everything down for me and I greatly appreciate her for doing that for me! Tomorrow, our church is throwing us our own shower, and I can't wait! I love having showers they are SO fun! :)

I think about the ONLY thing Matt & I are lacking for the wedding are rental chairs for the actual wedding. There are several places in Middle Tennessee to get them, they are just greatly overpriced! So, we've been bargain searching! ha ha I think Matt's decided on the place, though, so that's GOOD!

I ordered my flowers about a week ago, and they SHOULD get here the Friday before the wedding. I'm sooo excited, they are soo pretty and can't wait to see them! I just hope they come in on time so we can get everything put together! My mom has been working on some simple center pieces for the reception and the table linens. Our favors came in yesterday, so that was awesome!!! I'm not telling what they are... but I hope everyone will like them! They are cute! :D We will start filling our favor boxes probably next week. Not sure if I said the last time I blogged, but my wedding dress came in a couple weeks ago, so that's in my possession! YAYY!!! It's SO pretty.... :)

I think I'm getting pretty excited about this big event! ha ha... It's been very stressful for me, but things are winding down as it seems, so hopefully I've done all I can except walk down that aisle with my Grandfather!!!! :D <3>

Matt has been GREAT throughout this whole process, and I'm just so blessed to have him in my life and to be my husband! He is just really amazing to me, and I can't wait to be his wife!!!!

30 DAYS TO GO!

HI EVERYONE!!! :)

We just wanted to let everyone know that if you received an invite from Matt and I that we'd like for you to put your name on the RSVP when you send it back. It'll help us in the end to know how to better serve you all!
THANKSSSS in advance!

Matt & Kristen

32 DAYSSSS!

...And still so much LEFT to do! It's going by WAY too quickly!
We finished paying off our venue on Monday only to find out the wedding coordinator was on personal leave for a FEW months... and my wedding's next month!
No one decided to tell us, so it was a BIG shock to go into the mansion, ask for the lady, and them tell us she wasn't there... I didn't know what to do! I was upset and shocked all at the same time!
The people taking over aren't honoring promises that were given to us by the original person, so a lot of things are having to change in this short amount of time. It's very nerve-wrecking!
But, it will be done however now since they said a lot of the things we were promised "are not Oakland's responsibilities"... so now we have even MORE to do! GRR!!
I DO NOT RECOMMEND GETTING MARRIED AT OAKLAND'S MANSION! It is more work than you originally think, and are no help to you when you need it. it costs more money than just getting a place that provides you with the services you need. Just a little F.Y.I. for you soon-to-be brides!
You have to rent your own chairs to have the wedding outside
(and they are VERY expensive for some-what decent chairs!), none of their tables/chairs can go out of Maney Hall... not even out on the sidewalk covered by the awning. It is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen! They overcharge for the services they barely provide. All they GIVE you is somewhere to stand to get married and a small "hall" to have the reception in. You have to pay THEM to prepare your OWN food, and you have to pay THEM if you have it catered... it's a lose-lose situation on your side, but they are making all kinds of money to provide basically nothing.

Okay, wow... that little rant went way off kilter and I got off track really quick! haha... We also paid on our photog, as well. I can't wait to see all my pictures!!!!
ANYWAYS! We have a lot left to do... so hopefully we can get everything done in time... or we just won't have it I guess! lol :)

Bella has grown A LOT! :) And still as mean as ever! Hopefully she'll grow out of that!
