Hair Trial and Final Dress fitting

Believe it or not I took no pictures at either! But I must say I am getting so excited and happy about everything to come. Tomorrow is my cousins wedding and then the next day is only two weeks until my wedding! My dress fits perfectly, like a glove and my mom and maid of honor, Lauren came with me so that the seamstress could show them how to do the bustle. I put on my jewelry and it looks really good with my dress!

I have been getting together my bridesmaids and groomsmen gifts and I am so happy that everything looks good and is coming together so well. I don't want to put them up thought because some of my bridemaids read my blog!

My hair trial went really well and even my very opinionated mom liked my hair just as much as I did. I went for a facial last week to prepare my skin and have been tanning lately to get a little color! :)

I am so ready to be Mrs. Pavao!

Then I am off to Aruba....... :)

Blossoms

This past week my mom and I went to Golden Gate Studios to see a trial centerpiece. We are going to have high, medium and low centerpieces and Jay did one high and one low for us to see. I LOVE the high ones! They make such a statement I feel, and the colors are exactly what I wanted. They tie the pink and brown into the tables and I love them :)

On another note we had our Bachelorette and Bachelor parties last weekend and they were lots of fun! My girls took me to see the Chipendales in Boston and I must say, we had quite a good time for ourselves :)

I can't believe the wedding is 20 days away! :)

So, it was an eventful weekend and we accomplished a lot of things! My maid of honor, my sister and one of my other bridesmaids went to the bridal shop for their first fitting and I am so happy about how the colors look together and how flattering the dresses are on all the girls body types. It was fairly quick and painless and I am glad we got it done because the wedding is coming up fast.

My aunt also came over tonight to drop off my cardbox that I started and then I hit a wall and so my aunt said she would take it home. She used for the modern bride dot com for inspiration and I am really happy with the result! :)

Time is flying

Time is not waiting for anyone. My wedding is a little more than a month away and there is so much to do! We are getting things done but all the tiny details are pulling themselves together slowly and I am so happy with everything that we have accomplished. My fiance has been phenomenal at helping and creating so many things that will take the wedding from "wow" to SHA-ZAM!" I am really just ready to see it all together and marry the man I have been waiting to marry for nearly two years :)

I am so excited and ready for the wedding to arrive!

2nd Shower!!

So last weekend my fiance told me that we had a cousin day at his families house. It's something that we have done before where all the cousin get together and play games and its a lot of fun. Well, we got there and we walked in and I saw my mom, my sister and my aunt. It was a shower for me with my fiance's side of the family. They did a cute pink and brown theme and had baby pictures of both of us and they did a really nice job. My mom got me my pant set and I was so excited because that was the only thing that I really wanted that I didn't get at my first shower. We got lots of money too and thats exciting because now I can finish my dishes!

We played a bridal version of picturary and it was lots of fun and we laughed and had so much fun

50 days til the wedding....

My First Dress Fitting

It's been a while and I have been a busy girl! I went for my first dress fitting and I had begun to have a few second thoughts about my dress but then when I went and tried it on in the bridal store, I knew it was the right dress! I love it.

I also went to best buy with my friend Anne, and we talked with her boyfriend about buying a TV for my fiance for his wedding present. I have always been over the top in my presents and I am not going to stop now! I think choosing between Plasma and LCD was a really hard choice. I choose one but the tv's are going to go on sale next week so I decided to wait another week. My fiance's best friend just bought a new one so I texted him to get his opinion but he really wasn't that much help! So I decided on LCD- Samsung 52"!

...Go big or go home:)

I hope I made a good choice

Wow Shocked

So when I think of my future step mother in law, I think of a witch. Things always have to go her way or she makes such a stink. Well anyways, about a year ago her and my future father in law retired to Portugal. She got mad at my fiance, pretty much for nothing, and has been angry ever since. Well, we have made multiple attempts to make things better, sending cards and gifts beyond anything that we needed to do. To make a long store short, my fiance talked to his dad tonight and she is NOT coming to our wedding! Part of me is happy because my fiances dad will be more himself which, I have never seen in our whole relationship. On the flip side there is something about it that makes me feel so disrespected and so bad for my fiance,although he is very happy that she is not coming..... I am just shocked!



On a happy note, I have been worried about the gifts for the little ones involved in the wedding and my fiance thought of a wonderful idea. When I was a little girl, I loved American girl dolls and so I decided to get my flower girl a bitty baby. She loves dolls so I think she is going LOVE it! Yay for checks:)
