10 DAYS!!!

I never thought I'd see the day that I, Kelly Gaither, would settle down! And not only is that exactly what I'm doing, I actually love being the slight bit of domesticated that I've become! I love cooking, don't mind cleaning (as long as I don't have to mop because I'm horrible at it), I love laundry (don't tell Chris though) and I like the responsibility I've acquired as an adult in love! Call me silly, but even at our low and tough times, I'm still happier than I've ever been. Chris has become such a big part of my life, not only as my lifemate, but as a bestfriend. Everything in my life is falling together, piece by piece... as is the wedding that will take place is exactly 11 days and 30 minutes! My dress is complete, hanging up at my mom's house. My BM are wondeful ladies who have helped me as much as they possibly could and kept me from stressing at times when I simply needed to vent and gain a little bit of sanity! Brenda and Karen have both been super mom's helping with parties and decorations and invites. I'm just very pleased, at this point, how everything is falling together. Thank you to everyone who has played even the smallest role in this special event!
Aruba is looking more and more relaxing. We cannot wait to get there and lay out on the beach and drink fruity alcoholic beverages!!

16 DAYS AND I'M SUPER EXCITED!

I think it needs to be known to all that: I have wonderful friends who saved up all their pennies, kiddnapped me right when I got home from work last Friday, blindfolded me, drove for three hours, and ended up in Myrtle Beach!! I had a whole bachelorette weekend with my girls at the beach- Myrtle beach at that! Until then, I never got the full "Myrtle" expenrience. I had a wonderful time, didn't pay for a thing, got super trashed and stayed in the nicest condo/appartment thingy! Thank you ladies!
Now, on a more serious note... here's how things look:
This Friday mom and I go see Robin because she should be finishing up my dress!! Saturday I have a surprise thingy to go to, Sunday I'm having my bridal luncheon to thank my wonderful beeches! Next Friday Chris and I are going to get our marriage license (yay!), Saturday I'm hoping all the ladies can go out for drinks. Sunday is my bridal shower... then Friday we have rehearsal stuff and Saturday I get to marry the love of my life! How exciting!! Our registries are mostly complete: Bed Bath and Beyond, Williams and Sonoma and Macys!! That's about it! Love you all!

23 days... Coming together

Bridal shoes are in and I'll be picking them up this weekend... I'll be taking them by aunt Robin's to try on with my dress on Monday so she can finish it up! The remainder BM present is on order and will be here by Wednesday. My bridal luncheon is this Saturday at 11:30 at the Olive Garden- then we're doing the wedding hair thing! Tonight mom, Chris and I are eating over at the ministers house. Shirley and Meg have done a wonderful job putting things in order and getting the ball rolling. Karen and mom put the bridal shower invitations together this past Monday and we should be sending the Rehersal dinner invitations out very soon! Everything is still falling into place and I'm very pleased with EVERYTHING! Chris still has to pick out and order his Groomsmen gifts and go for his final fitting at the tux place- leave it to a man to procrastinate!
We're getting more and more excited about the honeymoon, too! Mom said it might sound crazy but she was sure I'd start packing way before the month of July. She was right on two accounts- I did think she was crazy, but I HAVE already started packing!!! Aruba is going to be beautiful, relaxing and amazing! I'll make sure to take a ton of pictures!!

EXACTLY 1 MONTH!!

Hey guys! I'm getting super excited, anxious and a little nervous!! We've got exactly a month until the "big day"!! No one leaves comments on here anymore...I wonder if I should even keep posting if no one reads.. Anyway- my shoes should be in this weekend, meaning mom and I must go see Aunt Robin so she can start on my dress! This weekend I'm having lunch with mom, Meg and Shirley. Next Saturday is my bridal luncheon (11:30 at the Olive Garden). The NEXT Saturday I've got a surprise thinggy, and Timmy will be here! So, the wedding will be here before we know it! Mom and I have all of our attendant gifts and wedding favors ordered. Maybe I'll have another picture for ya'll soon. LEAVE LOVE PLEASE!
