Today marks 53 days left until "I d0". Wow, everytime I say outloud how many months/weeks/days we have left, I sigh very heavily. Haha It just seems like there is so much still to be done and wedding stuff is ALWAYS on the brain.
Sunday, I met with Katharine who is playing the piano at our wedding. She was SUCH a great help. As you may have read in previous posts, wedding music was stressing me out! Katharine was such a great help and needless to say, music is now picked out! That's one less thing to mark off of the to do list. Speaking of the to do list - I am down to 72 more things to do on the list. Let's hope they get done!
This upcoming Sunday I have a bridal shower and my bridal portraits! That will definitely be a fun day! I'm so excited! Also, next week, my team at school is throwing a shower in my honor! It just seems so surreal that all of these wedding festivities are taking place! OHH the huge sigh that I just did! haha It's just so overwhelming and I feel like I am just going to bust with happiness. haha
Saturday we have our 3rd wedding of the year to attend with much more on the way. I'm actually enjoying all of these weddings! It just gets me so excited about ours! Plus you can always take away oooh, we should do that or that might not work for ours...etc. This wedding is actually going to be at the site of our rehearsal dinner so that just makes it all more exciting because we can see how it looks all dolled up and decorated.
Well, I can't wait to update how the showers and portraits went. It stinks that I can't put the pictures up! But I guess I should leave somethings as a surprise since I tell about every little thing on here! haha :o)

Hotel Update
Brendan and I went to Dillon this past Saturday and thought we'd look around to see if there were any decent hotels in the Dillon area. Dillon really doesn't have a decent hotel, I'm sorry to say. However, we did discover the Best Western Executive Inn in Latta which is only about 10 minutes away from Dillon which is closer than Florence! This hotel seemed nice. Today I called in and blocked a set of rooms. I Emailed a few people and added it to the list of hotels with special rates on the website but Brendan thought it would be a good idea to post it on here as well just incase you didn't get the email or see it on the website.
So here is the info: The hotel must be booked by May 29th or the rooms become open to anyone. The cost of the room per night is $70 + tax but make sure to mention the Cox/Talty Wedding Party to recieve this special rate. There is NO bar in this hotel like there is in The Hilton Garden Inn in Florence. The phone number is 843-752-5060
The address is: 1534 Highway 38 W
Latta, SC, 29565
Oh and if you haven't read the post before the Little Jenn and Little Brendan post, PLEASE read it. It's about the stinkin' wrong directions I sent out with the invitations. Sorry again!

I made a boo boo...a big one!!! READ READ READ
I'm human and I mess up. I'm sooooooooooo sorry! I can't believe I messed up on this though! GRR. This you need to read and fix on your directions that you recieved with the invitation! OKAY The EXIT # is 193 Dillon/ Little Rock. The directions I have ARE right but not the landmarks. SO if you want to use landmarks take EXIT 193!! Man, I feel horrible and could just kick myself for messing up on that!!! OR you could just put the address into your GPS. Do that because I helped to define the stereotype with women and directions! :o( I honestly feel so terrible about this! Please fix it NOW on your directions. Don't wait.You might forget! We want you there!
Also, we did not include that we are having a reception in the invite but people, why else would we need you to RSVP? :o) I say this with all the love in my heart! We ARE having a reception..come on do you not know Brendan and I? Our wedding will truly be a celebration! I've just had quite a bit of people ask "you're not having a reception?" So I just wanted to clarify that yes, indeedy, we ARE having a reception! :o)
Love to you all!

74 Days to go! and 77 more things on the to do list!
This past Saturday, we were thrown a wedding shower. A fabulous, totally fun shower! We really had a blast. Ashlyn and Janet did such an awesome job. Aren't we so lucky to have great friends like them? Here are a few pictures from Saturday. There were a ton taken but it takes a while to upload these pics so these will have to suffice!
This is Keith, Brendan -duh, and Micah!
Karen and I cheesin'!
Dillon Girls! I am so excited they came! Danielle (my maid of honor), me-duh, Jill ( my bestie since we were 4, and Jennifer ( we were in Brownies- girl scouts together!)
Brendan and I played a game in which we were blind folded and felt legs to see if we could guess each other. We both failed! We also did the same thing but with a kiss on the cheek. I guessed him correct but he guessed my MOH, Danielle!
Cutting our yummy cake!
Us!
Wedding Planning News!
Invitations went out Monday! Can you believe it is already time for them to go out? We were originally going to send them out a little later but the cost of postage is going up and we wanted the RSVPs back sooner. I feel like I am repeating myself. Did I mention this before? Well, yada yada, the point of this section is to just say OUR INVITES WENT OUT!! It was very exciting dropping them off at the post office! haha Darn it! I should have taken a picture of that as well!
Let's see what else. I've completed purchasing gifts for my bridesmaids! Now, to figure out Kay Bug! Who knew it would be so difficult to buy for kids?!
Today, I re-purchased my bridal jewelry. I had bought some that I thought might be too much. Last week, when I went to get fitted for alterations, I tried on the jewelry and was proven right. It took away from the dress and I don't want to do that. So today I ventured out and found something dainty and more me-like. I went to several places over the course of 2 days looking! Thank God I found it! Once less thing to worry about.
I'm not sure about the violinist in the wedding. This was mom and Randy's doing but I haven't seen/talked to the guy at all so I'm confused. Randy said he had it down that he was doing our wedding. I think it may have been a not so great idea to go ahead and tell him we wanted him when we haven't heard him. Shame on us but I trust my mom and Randy and they said the guy is great. So let's hope I have a violinist! I really want one!! I think violins and pianos are just beautiful! I wish I knew how to play an instrument. I just know how to boogy to them. haha
Next week, I am on Spring Break and Brendan and I are going to apply for our marriage license! It's basically the only time we have to do it when we're both in the same town on a week day! I am looking forward to spring break so much! This school year has been exhausting. The group of kids I have in my class, have tons of energy and by Thursday or even sometimes Wednesdays..I am dragging big time!
Well, I think that's it for now. I can't wait to hear from everyone from RSVPS!
