The Wedding Countdown Begins – Day 5 – 9:30am

February 8, 2010

I decided to blog about our experiences leading up to the day so that all our family and friends could have a part in our lives 🙂

The wedding countdown begins with me battling bronchitis and losing my voice, and Aaron taking care of me. But we are moving forward with all plans and details.

The date: February 12th, 2010
The Place: Salt Lake Temple at 11:20 am
The Reception: Yale Ward Chapel, 1431 Gilmer Drive, Salt Lake City, UT 84105
Time of Reception: 6:30pm
Bride: Me
Bridegroom: Aaron Taylor

We are leaving for Utah tomorrow morning, which leaves me with a chore list to fight with. Gather all necessary documents to take with us – temple recommend, etc; get car checked and change oil, pack for two weeks, confirm catering, photos, video, confirm the temple appointment, finalize the date for reception in CA, send out any last minute invitations, make phone calls to let people know to be there if they don’t get the invitations on time, coordinate out-of-town guests arrivals and pickups – thank goodness, most of them have family in Utah, so no worries there :D, finalize music and photo slide, ring ceremony walk through with Aaron and I, list of decorations to be bought when we get to Utah, tux to be rented, etc… and despite all this, I am very calm and not stressed at all.

Aaron has to work today, so I am doing all that I can to get things organized and ready for our trip, including snack foods for us and movies and music to keep us company on our 12 hour long drive to Utah mostly in snow, we think, since we have to travel via Tahoe. Hope the weather is good to us.

We are so excited as there are several great friends of ours making road trips and air trips to make it for our wedding. Some we have seen recently and others, it has been a few years!! Thank you all for making this a special day for us..we are just thrilled to see all of you this Friday!!

Now I am off to attack my list, with a hoarse voice and a tired body, but attack nonetheless 😀

Will post again very soon. I am sure I will need a break!
