Adjourning...
This is something I have been thinking about a lot lately. As you know I am getting married so my "group" and "project" are wrapped in family, friends, and a lot of emotions. I have been a part of wonderful groups before where it was such a positive experience I wanted to tackle more projects together. I have also been a part of groups where I just wanted the project to be over as well. The best feeling is being appreciated and that is what I hope to accomplish with my group.
I truly want my group (family and friends) to understand how their help putting my wedding together has meant to me. I have no idea how to portray this. I have thought about a speech at the rehearsal dinner and at the wedding. I have thought about getting some perfect sentimental gift for all involved (but can't since I am now broke ;) or just simply saying thank you to everyone. Nothing seems good enough for the sacrifices all have made to be away from family and to support me and my fiance in our plans.
I feel that adjourning has to happen because all projects come to an end eventually. Of course, the wedding will be the adjournment, and hopefully part of the present for my friends and family to see what they have accomplished in such a short amount of time. I just pray they all understand how special they are to me and my fiance and how much we do appreciate their tenacity, their commitment and their passion for helping us in this time.
Thanks,
Cortnee :)
Cortnee,
I believe in your case the adjournment will be wonderful. With all the hard work you have put into your wedding along with time it will feel great when it is done.

Cortnee,
What you said in your last paragraph is exactly what everyone who has helped you needs to hear~ say it to them. Words from your heart mean much more than a gift that will collect dust! They will treasure your words and how you make them feel the most! Something people always remember is how you make them feel!
Blessings,
Deb
