Yesterday was my last day of work until June 1st! I was basically running around like a crazy person trying to get as much done as I could before I left. Unfortunately my clients of course decided to wait until the last minute to give me everything I needed so to say I was stressed trying to finish everything is an understatement. I was so in the zone I completely missed my coworkers sneaking a cake into the conference room to surprise me with as a congratulations on the wedding!
Work had been a big part of my overall stress level so now that I don't have to worry about that anymore I can just be fully in wedding mode and enjoy these last few days.
After I finally left work I headed to my coordinator Kathy's house to drop off all my wedding stuff and go over the plan for the decor and timelime. She's going to organize everything and break up the tasks between her and the other two ladies that are helping.
I feel better about the weather situation, even though every site I check is completely different from the other but so far the worst forecast is predicting a 30%chance of a few showers which isn't horrible. Other sites are saying 0% chance so I guess all the anti rain dances are starting to work! However, I've actually gotten more at ease with the prospect of potentially having the wedding inside. We've bought a TON of candles so the inside will be full of soft candlelight and very romantic feeling which makes me happy.
As for the hair, it still hasn't really faded but the color is growing on me (no pun intended) and I found a new clip in hair piece that matches my color and is actually much better than the other hair piece I have. This will give me a LOT of extra body and curls so I'm happy with my hair now.
On tap for the next few days include:
Tanning
Getting my eyebrows done
Meeting with our photographers for a last meeting
Re-confirming with all my vendors
Wrapping the bridal part gifts
Getting my nails done
Start packing for the honeymoon
Clean the house
Try to bribe someone to take us to the airport Monday morning at 4am (any volunteers??)
I feel in a good place right now. I still have some nerves, mainly about everyone getting to where they need to be on time and everything running smoothly but I've done about as much as I can so I just need to let go and enjoy the process.
The next few days will be intense but I'm really excited!

Don't worry about everyone getting to places on time...there is nothing you can do to control that! One of our GM missed our rehearsal entirely because of a huge stupid mistake at the airport (his fault - recap to come)!
I was totally stressed at work, too and couldn't wait to get out of there...congrats on the freedom! You'll love it.
Advice for your meeting with your photog - I don't care how anal or controlling you think it is, make a list of the must have shots you want on your wedding day with specific groups of people. I thought I made this clear to my photog and didn't give him a list and am kicking myself about the pictures we *didn't* get! :(
You can *NEVER* be too organized or on top of things - ever! If it falls apart, so what, but at least you made sure you communicated what you wanted to. :)
the pre wedding jitters.
all will be ok. something always goes wrong but you never really know until later on and honestly, it's never a big deal.
don't go worrying your pretty little self and get hives like me the week before my wedding! HELLO!
RELAX.

I’m glad you can focus on the wedding and not think about work! I’m in the same boat, trying to wrap everything up before my last day next Thursday.

Everything is coming together: you're done with work and that stress, the weather is improving, you're digging your new hair and worked out the hair piece, and you seem like you're getting into the "enjoy the moment" mode. Stay there. Stay in the moment and let go. You're right, you've done all you can, now just go with the flow and be happy.
I can't believe it's almost here! I'm so excited for the two of you to have a wonderful weekend, and an even more wonderful honeymoon!
