So here it is, Stacie, the big week. The week you have been looking forward to, and probably dreading all the work involved with, for the last year. Having been through this "big week" myself, I want to offer up some advice. And, in case you are wondering, it is real advice.
I know that I have been giving you grief about getting all your stuff packed and getting the favors done, and though those are things that you are working on, those aren't the things I want to write about.
I also am not going to write about my speech...which I haven't started yet. But don't worry. I will try not to let it start with, "Stacie, you are lucky because Mike is a really great guy..."
What I want to say is to enjoy this week. All of it. For as much as some of the things you have to do this week may seem like a pain in the ass, they are necessary to help give you the wedding day you have dreamed about all your life. And every detail you have to prepare, as mundane as it may seem, tend to it with excitement, because it is all leading to your wedding.
Don't wish a moment of this week away. Because before you know it, it will be over. And Sonny and I will be the first to tell you that it's such a let down when it is all over (probably more so for you two since you have been planning longer than Sonny and I did). I mean, you plan and plan and plan and before you can blink your eyes, it's over. And I have to confess that the wedding let down is worse than the day after Christmas let down (because at least with Christmas, you know it will happen again in a year).
So enjoy it while it lasts, and have fun.
Oh and one last piece of advice, I'm not saying not to drink at your wedding, but I wouldn't advice getting really drunk either (I have no idea if you even plan to get drunk or not, but I am just saying) because what would the point be of spending oodles of money on a wedding and reception and dance, if you plan to get too drunk to remember it?
So, there's your advice from your older sister.
HAVE A GREAT WEEK!! I LOVE YOU!!

Thanks Jen.....I am trying to enjoy it....just so much running through my head at all times!! I wish you were here though......I love you too!!
I concur with the "don't get drunk at your wedding" part. I love weddings - it's the receptions I dislike. You've just made a covenant with each other and with God, and then five minutes later everyone is lighting up a ciggy and drinking a Bud Light. (Not you guys specifically, but a lot of weddings I've seen).
I digress.
She's right about this, also - have fun! I am looking forward to your nupitals and it's been nice having the privilege of watching you grow up and become a beautiful young woman...who was lucky to find Mike, who is lucky just because he is.
Love, Me.
LOL...thanks Amanda!
You guys really are lucky just because you are...
