First the knitting. My sockapalooza pal received her socks last week safe and sound and they fit perfectly! I was so nervous the entire time that they wouldn't fit properly and she would have to work miracles to them or something like that. But apparently I am a genius sock-knitter and can knit socks for feet that are not present! Woo-hoo! So glad you liked them, Deb ! My socks have not arrived yet, but I have faith they will be here soon.
It was a beautiful wedding and you never would have been able to tell we threw it together in four days. We had a flower girl, a ring bearer, matching dresses, a cake, a church, the works. Heather looked absolutely beautiful in her dress and Chad was just as handsome in his tux. We even had time to throw together a bachelorette party. 
It just so happened that the Chippendales were in town the night before the wedding so my mom, the other bridesmaid, and my other sister all took her out for a "Last Night Out". Of course, me being so crafty had to make these shirts for the wedding party. Iron-on letters from Jo Ann's. They were even on clearance!
It was such a great weekend. I'm just so sad to see her go on Wednesday. She won't be back until January 10th-ish. Good luck Heather!

Hi,
I have finished your socks and hope that they will fit you. Unfortunately I haven't been able to send yet them to you, I will do that as soon as I can (it's gonna be in the start of September). I hope you'll forgive me and hope you'll like them!

WOW I wish I could have done my wedding in four days! The stress would have been over a lot sooner.
BTW Happy SITS Day!!!
Congrats on being the SITS queen for the day! Congratulations to your sister on her wedding!
holy cow - four days for a wedding? I wouldn't have believed it was possible!
congrats to your sister, good job in doing it in 4 days!
Hope all is going well for your sister and her military gig!
Congrats on your big FB day - I hope you get lots and lots of comment love! :)
Anything is possible huh???
Amazing what you can do when you are given no choice- best wishes to your sis and her new hubby.
Congratulations to the newlyweds! Looks like it was a wonderful time.
Just happened to be in town?? Did she plan her wedding around that?? ha ha
Looks like they had a wonderful wedding. How nice!
The fact that she was able to throw together a wedding like that and it not look shoddy proves that we make too much a deal out of all the wedding stuff. Marriage: important. Wedding: a novelty. Congrats to them!
I love your socks!
Are you able to put skids on the bottom of your socks. I am very accident prone and have to have the safety factor on all my socks cause we have wooden floor in the dining room.
Congrats on being the FB on SITS!
Seriously four days?! That is the way to go. No stressing for months to make sure you got everything done. I like! What a fun surprise.
Congrats to your sis. Looks like a fab spread for four days. Nice work.
Yay for your sis! My DH and I went from "Hey, we should get married on 8/8/08" to "Hey we're married!" in 4 days. I didn't even attempt any of the trappings, and barely managed to get a wedding certificate and get to the JP before he closed.
You guys did a great job! Love the shirts!
Wow, where there's a will, there's a way, eh? Congrats for your sis, god bless her as she starts her new career. ;)
Crafty chick indeed! And I'm guessing it runs in the family if your sister was able to pull together her wedding so quickly!
CONGRATS!
That's wonderful about the wedding and it looked beautiful!
The wedding looks beautiful.
Congratulations to your sister! What a fun surprise.
There should be some sort of record for the fastest wedding planning! Looks like everything turned out great! Congrats to your sister.
Congrats to your sister (and to you for helping her gett it done in 4 days!!)
My brother just went to a chapel in TN and let them do all the work. It was wonderful though plus we got a mini-vaca out of it. Hope she does well in the reserves.
WOW, congratulations are in order to your sister. I hope the reserves treat her well & that she returns home safe & sound.

Sometimes these spur-of-the-moment things can be way more fun and way less stressful that overplanned events. Congrats to your sister on her wedding and her military service.
Found u from SITS! Congrats to you sister!
Also, is that a pit bull..those dogs are so dangerous!
Isn't that what everyone thinks! I was kidding..we have one that weighs 90lbs and he's an angel!!!
:)
Sounds super fun! Good luck to your sister:)
Congratulations for your sister and for you on your SITs day.
I seriously think everyone should have to plan their wedding in only four days. It can be done, obviously. It saves on expenses, it prevents people for stressing for months, and keeps you from having to tolerate months of bridezillas. People will be just as happy to attend if you spent four days or four years planning.
Hubs and I got married in Vegas...since we were paying for it ourselves, it was either a big fairy-tale wedding, or a place to live. We chose shelter. :) Chance is gorgeous by the way, that big blockhead of his.
Sometimes the best weddings are the ones that get thrown together in just a couple of days! Glad it went well :-)
BTW ... happy SITS day :-)
Congrats!! And happy SITS day!
She looked absolutely beautiful as a bride. I'm glad that everything worked out.
Congrats to her!!!!!
Congrats on your SITS day
I never would have known that the wedding was thrown together so quickly! Great job!
Love the tees!
She did it celebrity-style! I bet the paparazzi was PISSED. :)
That's such a cool story! Good for y'all for gettin' that together!
CONGRATS on your BIG DAY!!
Sounds like something I would do!
Again, congrats on your SITS day!
I'm always amazed by what you can do quickly to make a nice wedding vs all the agonizing and stress people have over wedding planned for so long. It looks like a beautiful ceremony, and I wish her and her husband all the happiness in the world!
Four days! Wow that's awesome. I wish I had done that. I'm not good at all that planning stuff.
My sister could definitely take some notes. She just called today to let me know I would be cooking banana bread for 200 people. Awesome.
Wow 4 days?! That's amazing! I mean we moved our wedding up 4 months with only 6 weeks until the wedding. I thought that was crazy fast! It looks beautiful.
Wow, can't believe you pulled it off. Great job girls!
visiting via SITS.
What a lovely wedding you were able to put together for your sister! Finances and timing shouldn't hold things back.
Great job on the very spur of the moment wedding! Hope your sis does great in the reserves!
Wow, what a great wedding for a few days planning!! You guys are good. Should go into business. LOL Nice work!!
Holy crap! Four days! I'm amazed! I wish your sister well!
I have to say it's pretty cool that was so spontaneous!!!!
Wow, getting ready for a wedding in four days -- amazing! More couples should probably do it that way instead of dragging it out and making it a stressful, all-consuming event.
