The sun was shining for the first time in over a week, but now the clouds are back! Why?!?!

Well, this is it. I'm just sitting here waiting for noon. When I come back to work I'll have a new name and a new life. It's totally bizarre. Tomorrow Evan's parents and cousin, and my cousin Tiff (I'm so excited to see her), are coming for Thanksgiving. Everyone else comes in late Friday night or early Saturday morning. I feel bad that all these people are traveling to see us and I'll hardly get to spend any time with any of them...but the family could have come for Thanksgiving and chose not to, so I guess it's equally their fault. Anyway, tomorrow should be a relaxing day. On Friday I'm getting a manicure and a pedicure, and then we're having our bridesmaid lunch (without Em :( ). Then we rehearse. Wow. I feel weird. Still calm and non-nervous, but weird. Evan says it's because you always see getting married as something that will happen someday. Then someday becomes Saturday. :)

My mom just called, and apparently another cousin and his wife are coming. They did not RSVP or indicate through other people that they were coming, and we already gave the final numbers to the country club lady. They just got married last year, so they should know how this works. *sigh* Only three more days and I can stop fighting about stupid things. Do you realize I've been continuously planning or helping to plan a wedding for the last year and a half? When this is over, I can have hobbies and relaxation and an open schedule again. I don't even remember what that's like. One thing that annoyed me on Wedding Channel the other day was the "coming home together" page...it said something like, "Now you can start planning your new life together." Sorry to disappoint them, but God willing, I won't be planning anything else for quite a while.

I keep checking and re-checking and re-printing our honeymoon itinerary. I have this irrational fear that the reservations didn't really go through and we'll show up at the airport to find that we have no tickets - or worse, show up in Jamaica to find that we have no room. But with the amount I paid Travelocity, we better have a plane and a room. I'm just paranoid.

Okay...there's nothing else to say. Danielle, Shelley, Shana and Phillip (and Lawson, Robin, Jeremy, and Addie), I'll see you on Saturday! Yay! Thank you all for your support and encouragement. It means a lot. I may find time for a quick post before the wedding, but otherwise, I'll see all of you on the flip side. :D

Exactly. I am sitting here in disbelief—"Wow, this is it..."—and the wedding isn't even my own! ;)

Congratulations, Brenda. I'll be thinking of and praying for you (two). :)

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

I'm so excited for you. :-) You're getting married... of course you knew that, but it just sounds so strange and exciting when I say it. Yay!

Many-much-mucho (hearty, even) congratulations to Brenda & Evan!!!!!! :) :)

[katshakespeare.livejournal.com]

Oooh! Congratulations! I can't even imagine thinking that I would be getting married in a coming weekend. I'm so excited for you!

[angelic-1.livejournal.com]

I am so excited for you!!!!
In case I don't see you on LJ before Saturday - have a GREAT wedding. Try to relax and remember that the only thing that really matters is that the license is signed. That is all that is important.

Congratulations :)

[ruthieroo.livejournal.com]

Yay! You're getting married!!:-D :-D

Oh, and I think you should write a book called, When Someday Becomes Saturday. It would be cool.

[sasscfrass.livejournal.com]

YAH! I'm so excited for you! I remember reading the post when Evan proposed. *sigh. Time has passed so quickly. I pray that your lift together will be one of surprises and blessings. The bumps along the way are what binds y'all together in a tighter weave of love. *sigh. I love weddings and the beginnings of a new life.

[brittuhknee.livejournal.com]

I'm so jealous that I'm unable to go along with all of the other lj buddies! I'd love to meet them all! =) Hee! But I'll stop whining about me now, and begin praying immediately for you!! I pray that you just have the most beautiful wedding, all the more than you even imagined! <3 Evan's wording about marriage being someday.. someday becoming Saturday was really good. Good perspective. I like it. =) Anyway .. <3 We want pictures!

I ramble all too much and my sentences have the bad habit of being extremely choppy. I apologize, lol. But I am excited! <3

I want to get married! lol.
