In six five weeks (pretty much exactly to the minute I am writing this), I will be married.
(Um, wow... that just made me feel older than turning thirty did.)
We've actually done a pretty good job of getting as much done ahead of time as possible, so hopefully these last six five weeks will be relatively wedding-stress free. (This turned out to be an excellent strategy, considering it's turning out that work is going to be INSANE over the next several weeks... 11 days vegging out in Hawaii cannot come fast enough!)
Still on our to-do list:
1. Get a marriage license. (Obviously, this one is the most important.)
2. Finalize the ceremony. (Just gotta work on the vows. We are not writing our own in the sense that they are super personalized, but we still have to choose something. Everything else in the ceremony is pretty much set.)
3. Order favors. (Probably doing this tonight.)
4. Decide on music selections. We've got our first dance song down, and a general idea what we want for the pre-ceremony waiting music, but that's about it. I'm not too worried about the reception itself... it's all the "music moments" (processional, recessional, intro, dessert) that we need to worry about.
5. Order the dessert. (Although we were instructed by the vendor not to do this until a couple of weeks before the wedding.)
6. Decide on and order wine. (Wine tasting scheduled for this weekend!)
7. Decide on and order final beer selection. (Anyone have a favorite stout?)
8. Pick up stuff for welcome bags. (This weekend.)
9. Finalize menu, which pretty much just means choosing our hors d'oeuvres. Everything else is set. (And SOOOO delicious!)
10. Find a damn lipstick or lipgloss I like that stays on for more than 10 minutes. (Recommendations?)
I'm sure there must be other things I haven't thought of yet, but that's all I've got at the moment. What am I missing? (Clearly not the use of parentheses... wow there's a lot of them in this post!)
*Um, I totally wrote "Six Weeks" for the title at first. The wedding is five weeks away. Five!
I haven't personally used it, but I have heard good recommendations for...dang can't think of the name of it. Maybe it's L'Oreal? It comes in shades like Beyonce or Linda Evangelista. Be careful though b/c it REALLY doesn't come off, so don't make a mistake applying it!

Nothing stayed on for me until I gave up and tried a stain instead of lipstick. This isn't sticky, you can wear it under gloss and the color stays. Body Shop: http://www.thebodyshop-usa.com/prod170028
