If everyday was as productive as today was, I could have planned our wedding in two weeks. Okay, maybe an exaggeration, but not far from the truth. It just goes to show you how much work you can get accomplished when you have the love and dedication from so many wonderful people wanting to make your day perfect. Our day started early, we had to pick up our Marriage License today form the Court house. If you notice in the pictures, the lady who helped us with getting our license had a light up butterfly on her desk. Just another sign that Gram was with us during our wedding planning. We stopped out Dunkin Donuts and got Donuts and Blue Berry Muffin. Went to Jupiter Civic Center to make final arrangements and to see that the huge black pipeline that I was determined to work around on Saturday, had been completely removed and the beach restored. I mean, how perfect was that timing! Thank you Turtle Season! Dredging had to stop. Since we were up there and saw the pipeline was removed we went ahead and took a chance to see if we could upgrade our room at Jupiter Beach Resort to an ocean front view (long story short the rooms were not available because the dredge line). And guess what, WE DID! For the same price for a room twice as big, with a full out view of the ocean and a view of the south beach, according to the amazing girl that helped us at the front desk. Which not getting my hopes up, is the same direction of JCC. As if that wasn't enough good news for the day, Baby helped me make My Mrs. Wagner hanger. He glued the rope on to the wire writing! Seriously the sweetest! While all this was going on, Mama Wagenr was ready and waiting for us to die our exiting rice Orange and Blue, GO Gata! Later that night, I finished painting my "Our Love Story" sign and Kris came by with her hot glue gun skills to put on the final details!

My Boo has known for a long time that I want the W nautical flag. Which is short for Whiskey, which is code for, " I need medical assistance". Which back to the W, I want it because of our soon to be shared last name. So, what did he do? That's right, be jealous, he took me to a Nautical store to purchase some last minute things for decor since we had room in out budget. We needed up getting out guest book oars, ships wheel (because it's just awesome), we will figure out how to use it later, and my W flag! Shawty u da bect! I love you, and thank you so much for this surprise! As for the Coke portion, it was way better than coke. It was Katie Beesley and Mama Wagner stepping up big time to get last minute things done. Katie Beesley went out of her way to come over to the Wagner house and prep our Boat Cooler, load up items into a trailer, organize the left overs, and basically just to get my butt moving! Thanks for the inspiration Katie. While Katie and Boo were busy with their tasks, Mama Wagner went to town on the picture frames we made for the south wall of the Civic Center. Making them was the easy part, figuring out what size pictures we needed printed was difficult. I would have never had time to do this. She made a perfect little list of what size pictures i needed to print and how many of them. I think there were over 20 frames she measured. Of those frames, all were custom sized prints, not counting the pictures frames we had for each tables. Thanks Mama Wagner, Queen of the Measuring Tape.
The girls gifts finally came in. All that stress of them being on backorder can now disappear. Well at least I thought it could. I opened the box to check them out (thankfully) and noticed that there weren't enough boxes. We were short one gift. After an easy phone call later, the gift will be rushed delivered and will arrive this Friday! Only then will i get to finally relax and check that off my list!
After our family Easter celebration we all gathered at the dinner table to work on the napkins for our Sunday reception. At a loss for what to do, Sissy found an idea with life rings made from lifesavers. Mom figured out how to best roll up the silverware in the napkin. Even Dad joined the fun by helping precut all the hemp rope. After Brandon woke up from his nap he jumped right in to. Finally, around 8 we finished. Thank you everyone for your help! They look so cute! I absolutely love them. I couldn't have done it without you. Brandon and I tagged team today. First we went to JCC and checked the curtain rods, figured out how to put up the "fabric wall" (thanks Jessica!), determined how the plate situation would work out (if you are attending this will be important; plates are going in a bin behind the "fabric wall" on the tables). Then I picks dup Jessie's graduation present! Then headed home and Brandon cut up my pallet for my sign and then made our way to the barn to drill out the salt and pepper keepers. Brandon took the grinder to the cake stand tonight. Needles to say it is all ready for the cake to set on! We can't wait to eat a piece of cake made by Lisa from Creation Cakes and Catering!!!
I haven't seen a butterfly in forever. Actually, I don't think I have ever seen a butterfly while doing wedding plans until today. I went to go look for some flower ideas when, BAM! A butterfly flew by and landed on the flowers for a meal. I couldn't help but think of Grams. I didn't want to leave that butterfly and she obviously didn't want to leave me. So after I stared at her with the biggest smile on my face, I got my cell phone out and started to have a mini photo shoot. She just fluttered around waiting for me to get the perfect shot and then took off with the wind. Needless to say, she wished me good luck, because I think I found the flowers I want to use in my bouquets! Thank you Grams, I love you and miss you dearly!
