Ahh... the dreaded week before the wedding. Oh, I'm sorry, did I say dreaded? I meant the glorious week before I marry my sweetheart. Is that better?
Anyhow, things are insane at HaselBride Wedding Base Camp in Indiana {aka my parents' house}. Out of town tote bags are printed and ready to be filled, table numbers are stacked up waiting to be put where they belong, the candle centerpieces are in the living room waiting to be delivered to the florist, the programs are done, the favors are boxed up and ready for transport. {I promise to share details later.} Things are looking good. Nick is currently on the road to Indiana, as well as my sister and her babies. We are celebrating Christmas with my sister and her kids tomorrow. I cannot wait for them to open their presents.
There are still a few things to be done, though: for example, the blank pages I ordered for the guestbook I'd already purchased were not blank pages at all. Actual blank pages are on their way now. Considering how behind I was a few days ago, my to-do list is not too long: finish up simple welcome sheet for the out of town bags, fix up the guestbook once the pages arrive, print cards for non-pro photos Flickr uploading, wrap up the portrait list, wrap bridal party gifts, and a few more random small things.
Forecast from today from WishTV8.
The weather so far in Indiana has been MISERABLE. Normally Indiana's weather is not so filled with freezing rain, snow, etc. before Christmas. At least I can't remember since childhood weather this unpredictable. It could definitely be worse, but it is certainly not perfect. Luckily Friday and Saturday are looking okay, just cold!
I'm hoping to be back later today or tomorrow with more, but I make no guarantees. I added the Twitter application to my sidebar, feel free to keep up with me there. I've been posting my progress/status every few hours and will continue to do so as much as possible! See you on the other side! :)
been following along since the summer, and just wanted to wish you good luck!
post lots o' pics - i'm planning a winter wedding too!!

Hey girl. Just wanted to wish you a very happy wedding day. Here's what I learned the hard way.
Don't forget to breathe, enjoy, and relish each moment of the day. It goes by so fast. I kept telling myself during the ceremony.... Calm Down... enjoy this... no matter what happens (goes wrong) this is an awesome day. Congrats to you both. Can't wait to see/hear all the details. Hope Indiana warms up alittle for you guys.
xoxo
