I ordered a pretty (and sexy) satin nightie for the wedding night/honeymoon from Frederick's of Hollywood last night! Here's a picture, only I ordered it in black:

I had my alterations appointment tonight! Shannon went with me to take pictures as well as have her dress altered. Mine will be about $290, including a steaming to make the tulle look better. It's about half of what I would have paid at Alfred Angelo. Here's a great picture of the two of us:

 Someone bought our panini press off our registry today! I'm wicked excited because that was one of our favorite items!!

I updated our scrapbook with the hair trial and cake tasting pictures. I also updated our regular one with pictures from my former coworkers' party and Devon's Junior Districts concert.

Matt and I are going to (attempt to) start packing for the move. We want to clean a little, as well, but after the big breakfast we had it's looking a little difficult.

Tomorrow night I have my alterations! Shannon and I will be going to Ana's Bridal at 6 30 and I get to put my dress on again! I'll definitely have Shannon take pictures to post here and for my scrapbook as well.

Matt and I went to the mall yesterday and I bought a skirt for the honeymoon from American Eagle. It was $19.99 with an additional 30% plus we had another coupon for 15% off! Of course, I went to get a picture of it to put here and found another dress on their website that was on sale with the 30% off, so I bought it. Here are the pictures:

I'm so excited!! I also found a new body spray since Bath and Body Works discontinued my favorite one. I have the hand lotion and love it, so I bought Twilight Woods to wear on the wedding day (and whenever else). It's glitter spray, so I'll be sparkly for the wedding!!

No RSVPs today again. My mom did tell me that my aunt would be coming, but she has to send out her RSVP when she gets back to North Carolina.

We had our meeting with Father Al earlier. It went well, we gave him our Pre-Cana certificate and talked about the program. Then he talked a little about Jesus and the wedding (seriously) and going to confession before the wedding. Matt asked about writing our Prayer of the Faithful which made us realize that we should probably start it.

I picked up the pictures of my hair trial and our cake tasting, so I'll be able to put them in the scrapbook tomorrow since it's late.

I called L.L.Bean this morning and they're sending us another package through the USPS! They said that if we get the other missing one to let them know, I said I'd send it back to them since we don't need two. At least we'll get it this time!!

Matt and I are going to do a little cleaning, shower, and start packing before our meeting with Father Al.

I worked on the scrapbooks this morning! I've been slacking a little bit. I'm going to have the hair trial pictures printed so that I can add them in.

Last, but definitely not least, we paid for the honeymoon!! The money went through and we called this morning to pay off the balance! We're officially ready for the honeymoon: the plane, the resort, and the hotel are all taken care of!

One RSVP today from my parents' good friends, Liz and Steve.

Matt and I went to the UPS location in Warwick to pick up our Crate and Barrel package today. It's from Alicia and Paula, two of my coworkers, and they got us another set of the Bistro Bowls as well as the Chip and Dip Set we wanted. Here's a picture of the chip and dip set:

Of course, after the ridiculousness with that package, I come home to an email saying Matt's gift was left at the front door by UPS. NO IT WAS NOT. This is not the first time it's happened and so I called them and they're investigating it. I better get this package, I am so over UPS and their issues. However, I have to say their national customer assistance is really nice and helpful.

Matt and I have a meeting with our officiant, Father Al, tomorrow. I'll be sure to post how it goes, although I honestly have no idea what it's about.

RSVPs today from my boss, Julie, and her husband, Patrick, and our family friends' son, Jeff (decline).

I came home to find a UPS InfoNotice on our door. A couple weeks ago, we had a package that couldn't be delivered from my coworker. (It's a shower gift.) Matt forgot to call/go online and have them hold it on the third day, so it got shipped back. My coworker called on Monday to see what was going on with it and they said that it was going to be delivered Tuesday. I got home on Tuesday and didn't have the notice. Same thing yesterday. I figured that it was just taking longer than the lady said. Nope. Today I see the notice and it was their FINAL DELIVERY attempt. Um, what the hell happened to leaving a notice all three times? These UPS drivers are assholes. I made sure that the first thing I did on the computer was tell them to hold it to pick up tomorrow.

I was looking through the seating chart and I've eliminated a whole table! I was able to combine two of the tables, so now I'm going to go through the other tables and make some changes.

Matt's gift shipped today! I can't wait to get it so I can give it to him!

Third day in a row with no RSVPs. It makes me so sad when I open the mailbox and there are none.

I ordered Matt's gift today! It was only $22.95 and shipping was free! It should be here in 5 or less business days! I'm going to give it to him before the wedding, since it's for the honeymoon, so he can actually use it!

I don't know if I mentioned it the other day, but someone bought our camera for us off our registry! It's one of the few gifts I'm going to search for after the wedding so we can use it on the honeymoon! Here's a picture:

I'm super excited about my alterations on Monday! I can't wait to put my dress on again!

I also finished spray painting the rocks last night! They came out great!
