Here Comes The Bride...

Here comes the bride-- big, fat and wide. Here comes the groom--skinny as a broom! That's how we'd sing the wedding march when we were little girls! That's not going to be the case on Friday night when my little sister walks down the aisle. She's going to be absolutely goregous, and I can't wait to see her.
She started planning this wedding over 14 months ago, and now, I can't believe that we have just a few days before the big event. I said last Valentine's Day when they got engaged that I was going to: lose 20 pounds, get in shape, and let my hair grow. And, well, it's the week of the wedding and I'm still as flabby as ever, I think I may have gained five pounds, and my hair is maybe an inch longer at the most. Oh well! I have jokingly said that I am going to be the old, fat, bridesmaid. But, whatever. I can't let the fact that I'm the oldest one (minus the parents) standing at the alter bother me, or the fact that all the other girls in the wedding are teeny, tiny and younger than me. I am tan, my teeth are shiny and white, and I have the biggest boobs. So, it's all good :)
This is going to be such a busy week for evertyone! Besides the normal things like soccer practice, orthodontist appointments, etc., we have all the wedding stuff going on. I'm only working three days this week. Thursday will be spent getting our nails done and pedicures, having lunch, and some good girl time before the rehearsal dinner that night. Friday is the big day. And, even though it's not until 7o'clock that night, we are getting an early start on the day. I'll pick up the flowers for our hair early that morning, then it's off to get hair and make-up done. We have to be at the church, and dressed no later than 4:00 that afternoon.
I was making my lists this morning (yes, plural!) and I can't believe how much I still have to do. But, it will all work out. It always does. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that the wedding and reception go off without any problems, and that my sister has the most wonderful, happiest day of her life.
