Who said planning a wedding was easy?

We are now down to 4 days.... I honestly never thought we would get here, but now I'm wishing I still had more time. Basically everything major is done, but the little details that can make a person go insane still remain. This week all final payments will be made, programs will be assembled, the candy buffet will be pieced together, dress picked up, planning phone calls made, mani-pedi with the Maid Of Honor, and of course the marriage license will be picked up....and the list goes on.

Final guest count: 313
Bridesmaids: 7
Junior Bridesmaids: 2
Groomsmen: 8
Ring Bearer: 1
Flower Girl: 1

Organization.....a must.....so for those of you who make fun of my OCD it is not being put to good use. Considering I alone am having to keep track of everything, piece everything together, and make the majority of the decisions.....it is necessary to be an obsessive compulsive organizer and
perfectionist. However this obsession made me sick....literally. exactly 2 weeks before the wedding my body began shutting down. I don't use that expression lightly....103 fever, sore throat, laryngitis, sinus headache, no sleep, cough, runny nose, and eventually ear problem. according to the doc there was so much pressure in my head that my eardrum kept popping and swelled up like a balloon. He believes it ruptured (which would explain why it felt quite numb and i couldn't hear out of it) but said he could not be sure because the swelling was covering it up. SOOO he piled on the medicine and now over a week later i am still trying to get better. The ear pain is definitely better, but still not normal. Hopefully i will be 100% by Saturday.

Friday and Saturday we bachelor and bachelorette parties. Mr. Micah and his buddies camped out on a lake all night and seem to have enjoyed themselves. I went out Friday with my favorite twins (Jennie and Betsy) and Jeeves (aka Dave our driver) and met up with Dani down town. Just a low key sittin around talking kind of evening with occasional dancing. Then Saturday it was shopping and dinner at Flat Top Grill with the best of the best. Thanks to those of you who made the time to show up even if only for dinner. It really meant a lot to me!

The plans for the Wedding and after are as follows:
Rehearsal Friday at 6
Rehearsal Dinner at Jonah's
Wedding Saturday at 3 (but bridal party starts at 8 AM)
Reception at Packard Plaza at 5
Sunday is breakfast with the friends and family still in town, and then packing up the vehicle for the week long drive back to California.
Back in Cali Friday morning and Friday Night Liz O comes to stay for a week while Micah heads off to Belgium for work.
Honeymoon September 13-20 and i cannot tell you where we are going because my amazing Fiance planned it (with the help of my Maid of Honor) and I am not allowed to know until we get to the airport!!!

I think we should be back to a normal schedule in a month or so.......then i have to find a job :0)
