In six weeks, I’ll be married. It’s actually starting to sink in a little bit. When I got engaged more than a year ago, I thought the day would take forever to get here. Now I’ve got six weeks left to finish things up.

So what am I doing six weeks before the wedding? Mostly now it’s just last minute details. I’m getting fitted for my dress. I’m also thinking about what I want to do to get ready for the wedding and scheduling those appointments — haircut, facial, etc. And I’m finalizing wedding and reception details — calling people who didn’t mail back their reply cards, picking the menu, making sure everything is paid for in full, etc.

My goal is to make sure my wedding day is pretty relaxed, so I’m trying to get all the details taken care of now. I don’t want to try to carry checks for the minister and band on my wedding day, get CDs to the boat for background music and generally run a bunch of last-minute errands. So I’m planning on spending one more day in Portand to take care of those details beforehand.  We also have to get up there and apply for a marriage license, which I almost forgot about — oops.

Any advice on the last few weeks before the wedding? I’d love to hear your thoughts. I read all of your comments, so please post one!
