Am I excited?!? Lately this has been the most frequently asked question. My answer...OF COURSE!!! I can hardly wait for Friday to be here!!! I am so excited for mine and Dusty's wedding I can't hardly stand it. I have troubles falling asleep at night and everytime I think about Friday's events I start to smile and my mood improves. Dusty and I are so excited for Friday and to see all of our friends and families.
On another note....I attended the Klein-Staiger reception in Bismarck on Friday night. It was so nice to see all of my friends from college and to catch up. Dusty didn't go with me because he had to work on Saturday and Saturday morning I headed to Fargo to have my hair trimmed and highlighted and lowlighted by my hair-stylist and cousin DelRae. I had a lot of fun catching up and dancing at the wedding, but I missed having Dusty with me. I love slow dancing with him and I definately missed the slow dances. Friday night I stayed at my good friend Mary's house in Driscoll and got up early the next morning to head to Fargo.
My drive to Fargo was going really well. I was making good time and talking to Dusty about the upcoming week. I was just past Casselton when I heard a loud thudding noise. I immediately pulled over to discover I had a flat tire. I called the salon to tell them I would be late. I couldn't find the jack for the car so I called my mom, who happend to be in Fargo. She sent my brother and my cousin Jordan out to help me fix the tire. I took Jordan's tiny little Dodge Neon death trap to Fargo and was only 15 minutes late for my appointment. I consider this a success. A few hours late I walked out with freshly trimmed ends and a touch of color. Thank you DelRae!!! You are an amazing stylist and I am so glad you have been able to do my hair throughout my college career.
As I get ready to head to bed I think about the things we need to finish before Thursday. I will finish the programs tomorrow and start the favors. My mom will pick my freshly steamed wedding dress up from the dry cleaner and our friends and family will begin to arrive to share in our special. We are so excited!! Friday isn't coming fat enough!!!

16 Days
The countdown is almost over!! Dusty and I will be getting married in 16 days!! WOW!! I can't believe how fast time is flies. We are both so excited for the big day and to start our new life together. What will I do in the meantime?!? Well I will get the programs printed and put together, have my last dress fitting, get my dress steamed, continue to work with the two Hereford heifers my brother, Aaron, and I plan on taking to the ND State Fair, help my dad, Gary, with things around the farm. I will also continue to write thank-you notes to the people who send gifts and cards prior to the wedding. Additionally, I will continue to go over every detail to make sure everything is perfect.
As I mentioned before, I am so excited for June 25, 2010. I have been waiting for this day since sometime after May 16, 2010. I am excited to be known as Megan Dukart. Most importantly, I am excited to spend the rest of my life with the man I love and who will always kiss me good night!!
16 days!! The excitement is almost too much to handle!! June 25, 2010, the day two lives take on path, is right around the corner!!!

Details, Details, Details
Lately, we have been working on the fine details of the wedding. By we, I mean my mom and I. While Dusty is at work and I am at the farm, I have been taking care of many of the details and giving him updates when I talk to him at night. My mom, Kirsten, has played a HUGE part in planning this wedding. She has all the music because she has probably played for almost all of my cousins' weddings so I didn't have to go hunting for music. She is always looking for the best deals and usually stays one step ahead of the game. She and my sister, Lindsey, came to Fargo to help me shop for the perfect dress and Lindsey made appointments for our manicures and pedicures a few days before the wedding. They have been so much help and Dusty and I are very thankful for all they have done for us.
My mom and I have discussed everything from favors to music the last few days. A lot of progress has been made. We have ordered the favors, the program design is done, the readings and other parts of the Mass have been picked out, the frosting for the cake has been matched very closely to the bridesmaids dresses and the flowers we are ordering have been finalized. We also continue to receive RSVP's. All of the RSVP's are being sent to me house and it is so exciting to see bright pink post cards in the mailbox every day.
As the RSVP's come I mark the particular guest off on the list and stick back in its home so we know where it is the next day. My mom even put the list in alphabetical order and then put the response cards in alphabetical order. What a woman!!
Not only did I design the save-the-dates and invitations, but I also designed the programs. I really enjoyed designing the save-the-dates and the invitations so I decided I wanted to design the programs as well. This afternoon I managed to find one sheet of vellum and was able to assemble a sample program. The only thing I was missing was the brown ribbon, which will be used to hold all the pages together. I am also hoping to eliminate the glue dots. I am going to have them printed and cut at a print shop and then my mom, Lindsey, and I will assemble these prior to the wedding.
This is the front of the program. Instead of the staple, we will use a small piece of sheer brown ribbon. I still have to do some color adjustments.
I love the way the "D" looks on this back page. It is just like the front of the program
The pages with the ceremony and wedding participants will be brown typing on ivory paper.
As the days to the wedding quickly diminish, my mom and I will continue to go over details and I will continue to give Dusty a nightly update. We continue to pay close attention to all the little things in order to make sure everything is absolutely perfect, but I still must keep in mind that on mine and Dusty's wedding it won't be about any of the details, it will simply be about us.
