Tony and I have been sprinting on the wedding planning hamster wheel hard as of late, and decided to take a night off to try and focus on why we wanted to get married in the first place. He treated me to a night of relaxation at Voda Spa, and I opted for the Siberian Wild Berry Scrub in hopes of getting baby butt-soft skin for the wedding. (Tony got a massage like a normal person.) My Maid of Honor Katierose turned me onto this Russian banya, and it’s the only co-ed spa I’ve found in L.A. where we can enjoy the sauna, steam room and pool together before heading off to our respective choices of chilling out.
Tonight, mine was basically getting scrubbed and hosed down like a dog by a stranger in a hazmat suit. You go into what appears to be a windowless murder room, lie on a marble slab, cover up your bits with small towels and then get exfoliated and bathed by a Ghostbuster. After the whole ordeal, as he rubbed me down with some sort of amazing smelling cream, all I could think was, “Put the lotion in the basket.” It was wonderful.
I’m trying to remember to breathe over these next few days. I pick up my wedding dress tomorrow, we’re going to get our marriage license and I have so much packing to do. Speaking of which, if you have any tips on that last one, I would love to hear them – what can I not forget to bring to the wedding?? (I once forgot to pack pants on a vacation, so any advice is really, truly appreciated.) And with that, I’m back on the hamster wheel! Thank you so much for all of the support and sweet comments over the past few days, they mean so much to me!

tony is so sweet to you! I love the way he treats you!!!!!! Don’t forget to pack under eye cooling gels. I’ll bring you one in the morning
Ahhhhh good call!!! Will you bring them up to Tahoe pretty please?? I’ll see if I can find some at Target today, too! xxxx
What a sweet guy! I forgot: flip flops for after the ceremony, waterproof mascara, pain meds in case I needed them post wedding (and most of us ended up with a slight headache after the ceremony so it was needed!). Any jewelry and sentimental things you want for the wedding are easy to forget. Most of all–I hope you have a beautiful wonderful day. My wedding was in May and we had LOTS of silly things go wrong—a girl’s gel bra popped and stained her dress, my makeup artist didn’t use waterproof mascara on me and I cried during the ceremony and had streaks on my face. But each of those moments created a story and a memory. It goes by so fast and just remember that the day is about you and Tony. Cherish that :)
Oh Heidi, this brought tears to my eyes!! Congratulations on your marriage!!!!! And I love that perspective – anything that goes wrong becomes a funny story :) I try to remember that in life, but need extra reminders for the wedding!! And all of those are such great tips – I’ll be sure to grab all of that when we do our last Target run today. Thank you!!!! X A
I seriously can’t wait to see pictures of this amazing wedding! And mostly your dress. Good luck with everything! I hope that it’s completely magical. Also, safety pins, bobby pins, and double stick tape are a must. Just to cover off all and any random scenarios where things won’t stay put.
Thank you so much for these sweet, sweet words Mallorie!! I picked up the dress Thursday and am so excited :) And just added ALL of those items to the Target run list I’m about to make! Thank you!! X A
