Great news...though not AOII related.

Ok, so we're really in the countdown now 3 weeks to go. Is it normal to not be horribly stressed about the wedding and more about how to pack my dress as a carry-on?

21 days until W-day
15 days until departure
moments until insanity.

The castle is cool, wish they had chair covers, but I'll live. It was a nightmare trying to find a place after our original reception location canceled on me because they were permanently closing. Oh well.

Did I mentioned how amazingly cool it is to be getting married in a castle?

The castle is beautiful! I wasn't nervous or stessed about my wedding until the week prior. My mother came to help.
She constantly pointed out all of the little things that I just wasn't worried about. By the time the day came, I was so tired and stressed that I passed out during the recessional. Did I mention that I stayed up til 3 am the night before trying to calm down my SIL?

You passed out? Like fainted? Out cold? Wow! My mom is really cool, she's not high stress at all...now if only my MIL would take the hint.

Yeah, my mom was usually cool as a cucumber but it was just something about her only child getting married and the day was fast approaching.

Yup, I fainted. Lots of factors contributed (hot altar, heavy dress, hairdresser and make-up artist coming thisclose to blows, 50 lbs bouquet, 30 min. homily that included Frank Sinatra and a wildebeast) but not eating wasn't one of them. (I had a very good breakfast!) We had just brought flowers to the Blessed Mother and I started feeling really tired. I was listening to the Ave Maria but I couldn't concentrate and I lost track of the lyrics. When we got back to the main altar I realized that, there was another verse to go. I just kept thinking,"Hang on, it's almost over." When they finished, I didn't wait for the priest. I nodded to the organist to play the recessional. I said maybe if I close my eyes and shake my head I'll feel better. NOPE! Took one step and down I went.
