The Last 6 Days Before the Wedding...Day 4

Day 3

This day technically started long before I was awake enough to realize it! Mr. 2SB had woken up at 3:30AM because his ankle hurt so bad. I woke up and asked if he was ok, he said he was going to go lay on the couch and ice his ankle. I was 1/2 sleeping and said ok and watched him hobble out of the room (Yes, my parents let us sleep in the same bed before we were married). I woke up around 8:30 and proceeded down stairs. I thought Mr. 2SB was joking around with the blanket over his head by pretending to sleep (this happens regularly in our house) so I pulled the blanket off his head, but I woke him up. I asked how he was doing and he said not good. Mr. 2SB is not a big doctor person, so I asked the dreaded question, "Do we need to go to Urgent Care?" When he said yes, I knew he was in a lot of pain! I hurried and got ready. He crawled up the stairs and some how made it through a shower and off we went.

They just opened a new clinic in my hometown and they are still doing some construction on the outside, so we went in the one open entrance and had to walk to the opposite end of the building to Urgent Care. Filling out the paperwork took the longest, but once that was set, Mr. 2SB was taken to the back. He didn't want me to go with him, so that's when I was text blogging for ya! He was only gone a few minutes when he hobbled through the waiting room on his way to Xray. Once he hobbled back, his name was called again right away. Not too much longer he came out walking a little better. He had sprained his ankle and was in an air cast. The doctor was confused because usually sprains are in the front of your foot, but his was in the back. We had orders to ice for 20 minutes every hour and to keep taking Tylenol. We went home, got Mr. 2SB back on the couch with some ice. He was quickly falling asleep, so I headed out to get my nails done before we had lunch with my parents and brother J.

Nail appointment 2 went way better than the first one! I was happy with the results, since this was the same place we were going to be getting petticures at on Thursday morning. I headed home and Mr. 2SB declined lunch since he had been sleeping since I left. I met my family and told them all the news. I then asked my mom if she would run errands with me that afternoon. She was excited that I had asked and didn't want me to do them alone!

This was our game plan:

• Find gift bags for gifts (found at the $1 store...spent $27 on a lot of gift bags...score!)
• Get frames for guestbook table (we had one of our E-Pics and then 2 - 3 picture frames with our grandparents and parents wedding pictures in them)
• Get styrofoam board & large permanent marker for signs leading people out to the reception. Last minute decision, but easy to do!
• Print pictures for previously mentioned picture frames
• Pick up programs (turned out great)
  
• Find unity candles (just bought 3 separate candles in our wedding colors...easy and cheap!)
  

I think that was about it, but we were all over town...good thing its a smaller town! We were gone for a few hours! When we got home Mr. 2SB was feeling a little better. We decided to get all the gifts ready to go. (I forgot to share the gifts with you...which I'll do on Monday for a Day 4a post!) We got the groomsmen and the ushers the same gifts. They were shipped to my parents house and while we were wrapping, we found out that two of the items had shattered. A quick call to the company we ordered them from and we had replacements on Thursday...just in time!

We finished the night up by watching "The Biggest Loser" finale (my mom and FSIL B watched it together all season...I could have cared less) while my dad and brothers were golfing. I wrote out notes to all the bridemaids and felt pretty accomplished with what we had gotten done!

The plan for the next day ~ Mr. 2SB and I had a few more little things to do, my mom and I were going to finalize design details with our reception location and we were set to have an evening a part - guys at my parents house and the ladies out on the town.

On Monday, I'll let you in on the gifts we got for everyone and then Tuesday I'll go into day 5...do you think we were back in Urgent Care? You'll just have to wait and see! (Monday might be a 2 post day because I have some exciting news to share...and no, I'm not pregnant!)

Hope you all have a great weekend, but to tide you over, here's a sneak pick at some of our flowers, which were amazing!

These were our pew decorations and were later used at the reception. Picture was taken by BM C. If you need a florist in Southern MN, make sure you check out Cherie! In case you forgot, we went with the above picture instead of another DIY project...so glad we did!
