Hey we are down to 7 days now!!! One week!!! We met with father today and I thought all was settled. So did he apparently but then after the meeting he called and told my fiancee that he was missing his annulment papers. Dear fiancee calls me in a panic and I tell him where they are. SO he looks for them and completely freaks because he can’t find them. I couldn’t find fiancee for hours as he panicked so bad he just had to get out. I emailed father and asked what exactly it was that we needed and he responds. I go to where I told my dear fiancee they were, oven the file and pull it out…geez…I thought I was supposed to be the jittery one now. Anyway…crisis averted. You should have seen the email I sent father telling him I had the paperwork and would bring it to him. Too funny!!! I said something to the effect that I found it just where I told him it would be, but maybe we should include filing system counselling to engaged couples so the other one would understand our filing system…ahhh, much better now, he even took me to dinner he was so relieved and grateful.
 
didn’t you learn in your marriage class that your major role from now on will to be able to find at a moment’s notice: the gas bill, his favorite red shirt, that box of golf balls he got last Christmas, the whatsit that opens the thingy on back of the you-know, the warranty for the weed-whacker he gave to his brother last year, his other sock (the one hiding under the bed gathering dust), batteries of the right size for whatever electronic gismo he is staring at helplessly . . . his glasses … . the tax returns he filed 3 years before he even met you . . .

Well 5 days to go folks and I am so happy…I know there is still alot to do but I am getting things done slowly but surely. Mom even sent me her hanky that the and my sisters carried at their weddings…just when I think she is totally nuts she does something nice!!! I am amazed that while I am nervous about the reception, the family thing and most especially that soon to be stepdaughter will fall going up the aisle…I am not nervous about GETTING married…just the other stuff, and none of that counts for anything!!! SO I am thinking…this might all turn out ok… Even the family squabbles about who is coming and who isn’t…who cares! Thanks all for giving me the strength to go on when I was doing my best impression of a neurotic lunatic!!!http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_1_33.gif

Yep, I’m afraid this is par for the course. My hubby showed up in a panic while I was in a meeting last week. I thought somebody had died. But no (at least not a human). His hard drive failed on a refurbished laptop, and he called the reseller, and he HAD TO HAVE THE WARRANTY PAPERS OR THEY WOULDN’T FIX HIS COMPUTER AND WHERE DID I PUT THEM? Gee…In the file cabinet, in a folder marked, “HUbby’s Laptop, warranty and receipt”.
 
DD and SIL just had a blazing row about who lost the remote, turns out toddler threw it in the garbage (for reasons nobody can figure out) and it was found totally by accident when the bag sprang a leak.

Just over 24 hours until the wedding…OH my GOODNESS!!! I have never been so nervous and absent minded! Somebody say a prayer fast that I don’t set my brain down somewhere and forget it. All in all the plans are going ok but way behind schedule!! Any advice for a wrinkled dress? When I picked it up from the seamstress it was good but now it is wrinkled from the bag. Can I iron or steam it?

I don’t know what the material is, but I would NOT iron it.

My mother’s friend steamed mine AT THE CHURCH, so that it didn’t get wrinkled in transport. (We dressed at the church.)

Mine was a fitted satin bodice with tulle skirt, though, which definitely couldn’t be ironed.

You might consider asking a dry cleaner’s to steam it for you asap.
 
btw…it took FOREVER to steam it, so make sure you or whoever is doing it has a good two hours to spend, depending on how much fabric (if it’s a full skirt–my mom’s friend did ALL the layers of tulle so it would lay correctly).
 
Blest- Come down off the overhead and follow these simple directions:

Go in the bathroom with the dress.
Close the door.
Get the shower good and hot.
Hang the dress on its hanger in the bathroom- NOT in the shower.
Let the shower run a good half-hour. If you don’t want to waste the water, bring along a radio and take a nice, long, hot shower. The radio goes OUTSIDE the shower.

Your dresss should be less wrinkly without running to the dry cleaners or chancing a wreck with an iron.

If it still seems wrinkly in the early morning (you’ll be up), try again with the shower.

If it is a knotted, tangled mess, then take it to the cleaners- but wait for the dress to be steamed. Don’t let them keep it, or it might not be done on time. But bag wrinkles can be easily smoothed out with a steamy bathroom.

God’s blessings on you all tomorrow.
 
Thanks for all the advice…I ended up ironing it and it turned out beautifully!!! Wedding was totally awesome as was the reception…Just got back from the honeymoon which was fantastic…despite the change of plans. Our original plans to go to New Orleanes were scrapped at the last minute.

I love you all…

Congratulations! I wish you, your new husband and all of your wonderful children the best!
