Well, wadda ya know? My menus are too dark just as I suspected. After I ordered them. Ugh. But I have a solution. Since the menus are a little too big to sit nicely in the napkins, I'm going to find a Kinkos' in Florida to cut them down. I'm cutting the dark part that can't be read anyway which happens to list the cake flavors. No biggie. Everyone should know by looking at the cake in the corner what's for dessert. Problem solved as far as I'm concerned.
Other than that, my DOC received the first shipment we sent today of wedding supplies. Actually, we sent her all the bridesmaid and groomsmen gifts. She should receive the large wedding day supply box on Thursday. That has everything from the aisle runner to the cocktail hour centerpieces in it.
We finally got a hold of our photographer today and went over a rough draft of the timeline for the day of. I also got in touch with my florist to clarify some things in my contract after some concerns were raised by another bride who was not thrilled with her bouquets.
All in all I think everything is coming together and to an end....

Day 2...Master Cleanse
Day 2 is going well. Started out this morning just making the lemonade because I didn't have time for the SWF. As of right now I'm not hungry. I worked out today and felt great. Energy level is through the roof. Bonus is I weighed myself this morning and I was down 4 lbs! I don't know if my scale is lying to me, but I'd like to believe it's not. We'll see when I weigh myself in the morning before I head to the gym.
After working out, I headed to my parents house to freshen up and take a quick nap before heading to work. When I woke up, the aroma of Salisbury steaks was coming from the kitchen. My mother had to cook when I'm there and on this cleanse. Damn that food smelled good! I hightailed it outta there before my mind told me I was hungry. That's what it is, a psychological thing, I believe when it comes to hunger. Anyhow, I got to work and had some lemonade.
Tonight when I get home I plan to take the laxative tea and then the SWF in the morning.
All in all, so far so good.
In wedding news, we paid most of our catering bill, paid off the florist, the cake lady, the photographer and the DJ. The only thing left is the videographer and the DOC. Feels good to get this stuff done but I hate to see the bank account dwindling down. 15 days to be a Mrs.!

Gotta love the knotties!
This is why I love the knot, not only do I get to talk with other women who are going through some of the same things I am, so they can totally relate, but because we share many similar ideas, former brides are always selling something you can find useful! I love it!
Right now I am in the process of making purchases from 3 different knotties. Knottie jenn248 is shipping me 15 easels that I plan to use at various locations throughout the reception. I know I'm not going to need that many for the reception tables, only if all 120 people come, which I doubt. So whatever is left over, I will use to hold the cocktail menu at the bar, a sign by the guestbook, possibly a memorial table sign, the possibilities are endless! Can you tell I'm excited?
The easels are from IKEA and while I thought they were the cutest things to hold table numbers, I didn't feel like going to IKEA to look for them. IKEA is nowhere around me. So this deal works out perfect. Plus, this knottie also had 12 kids activity sheets which is perfect. I was going to hit the dollar stores for kiddie stuff, but I am getting all 12 for $2. Hello? Total sale price $16 with shipping. Deal.
My 2nd find is from knottie Emmie2008. I am purchasing coral (pink) flip flops from her. I was going to purchase them online; how ironic that she posts she's selling 2 pairs, white also, and in my size? The flip flops retail at a little over $35 with free shipping from Shoebuy but I'm saving $10 getting them from her. Savings is savings, no matter how much! Deal.
3rd and final find is still up in the air; this knottie is selling a piece of fuchsia fabric that she used for her arch. The fabric is 27 inches wide, 16 feet long. I'm actually waiting to hear back from my florist, Jonathan's Flowers, to see if he can work with it and what he thinks about it.
I will post pics of everything after I get it.
