Oh hello. My name is Y and I use to blog here. A long, long time ago. Before the 2-month pre-wedding chaos hit.

A lots happened in the 2+ weeks that have gone by. I sent out my wedding invitations.
Different post for another day. All I say is that they were a labor of love. :)

I also had a surprise Shawshank Redemption-themed bridal shower at work. Strange theme to have, but see, my all time favorite movie, without a doubt, is Shawshank Redemption.It's about a prison break, essentially. How many to-be-brides can say they've had that type of bridal shower?
But it turned out to be a really awesome party. I loved it! And it was a total surprise, I had no idea.
Our advertising department can get creative every once in a while....

Chess board from the movie and my favorite item of the day....
The hammer Tim Robbins used to carve the escape hole...he hid it in my bridal magazine, lol.

Funny story as to how they surprised me. My VP called me downstairs to discuss my honeymoon. I went to her office and told her we had already booked it. She took the elevator with me back to my floor and in the process, handcuff me. I kid you not. Then she led me down a dark hallway into the conference room. It was hilarious.
And last but not least, one of my favorite gifts. A custom Shawshank Redemption Prisoner t-shirt with my wedding date as my prisoner number.
I have some great co-workers. :)

Anything to blog about....

Our invites are 75% done. They're technically assembled with the exception of the inside envelope, mailing envelope, and the actual sealing of the pocketfolds. I'm waiting on two Etsy purchases to come in the mail so I can finish them off. My goal is this weekend. Although what I'm planning to do, is probably going to drive me off the edge. Oh wells.....I'm almost done. With my invites that is.


Last weekend, I went to get my dress altered. I'm kind of over the wedding already - so sad to say, but stress does that to you. Got my dress altered with some lady one of my friends recommended. My mom wasn't too fond of her. Let's hope I still have a dress in a week, haha.

I also scheduled a makeup trial with a makeup artist some peeps recommended. The actual wedding day cost is cheaper than I was expecting. The trial run cost however, is a little steep. But I'm doing it the day of my bridal shower so I'm killing two birds with one stone.

What else....D's working on his attire and groomsmen attire. I keep stressing over it but there's nothing I can do about it. I'm sure everything will turn out. I do not have the time nor energy for that.

Jeez, I'm such a debbie downer today. Let's put a smile on my face. One thing I'm looking forward to our my engagement pics. This Saturday will mark 2 weeks so hopefully I'll have my pics. Can't wait!!!!!!!

Happy hump day...2 more days of work. I can do it!
