Three weeks to go
I guess three weeks from now I'll be an old married lady. Where did all of the time go? Victor proposed back in December of last year. Just now I'm finally finishing up the preparations. I had a fitting this week for my dress, which actually looks really nice. I bought a veil and a tiara. This weekend I'm going to scour the boards over at Indiebride to get ideas for ceremony readings and to figure out how to hook up the computer so that Mark can DJ from iTunes during the reception. I called the priest yesterday and left a message saying that we are going to be in town next weekend and would like to meet with him to discuss everything. I hope he will be free to meet with us. I also booked accomodation for myself the night before the wedding at the Crescent Hotel and booked hair appointments for myself, Gabi, my sister, and my mom there the morning of the wedding. I also booked a suite for myself and Victor at the Basin Park for the wedding night.
There's still a lot left to do. I need to make the pocket squares for the groomsmen. We have to book transportation for the day (I'm thinking vintage car). We have to figure out what to do about reception music before Mark gets there to start his DJ gig... we had discussed having a mariachi band, but Victor still hasn't booked it, so I don't know if there will be one available. I have to figure out if I'm doing favors on the table, and if so, what? I have to get some sort of tan, because I still have nasty tan lines from my Barbados sunburn. I need to send in the food order, once the wine guy calls me back with a wine list. Victor still hasn't booked anywhere for the rehearsal dinner. And the list goes on and on...
That being said, I'm starting to feel good about everything. About half of our reply cards have come back. I'm sad that some of my close friends can't make it, but I understand... it is kind of in the middle of nowhere. I'm really pleased that some of my friends that I thought probably wouldn't make it are coming. I'm excited for the reception, and I hope everyone dances. Please, please dance!
I am also excited for a time when I can post about something other than the wedding. Sorry, it's all that is on my mind these days.
