Wedding Update #252 (or MS Wants a Real Post Pt. 1)

2 months. can you believe it? i'm really not that nervous. i'm more excited than anything else.
we're at a point where there's still stuff left to do, but it can't be done till the last minute:

1. mail out invitations (late july)
2. favors (august)
3. flowers (august)
4. cake (mid-september)
5. groomsmaids' jewelery (mid-september)
6. get fitted for tuxes (early september)

so now it's just sitting on our hands and waiting..or is it?

there's other stuff i need to do; it's just trying to find the time:

1. send CD's to the DJ: there's some music he just has to play that nobody owns, but me (like Keely Smith's version of Someone to Watch Over Me and the Almighty mix of Tainted Love).


2. get wedding bands engraved: btw, is it bad luck to keep trying on your wedding band before the actual wedding?


3. pay everyone: the photographer, limo and celebrant have all paid. that leaves the hall and the DJ. plus whomever is listed above.


4. go over the ceremony/game plan: are we making an entrance? what about our parents? there's no aisle to walk down, so what do we do?


5. table placement for the hall: we're not doing assigned seats, except for the kids and our parents; y'all can sit wherever y'want.


6. write my vows: this is gonna be tough, and probably pointless 'cause let's face it, i'm gonna be a weeping, blubbering mess no matter what i say (but i'll look fabulous anyway).
7. Unity Candle and matching tapers.
8. Four 5" 4" Pillar Candles: Stephen's a wiccan and would like to have candles marking the four corners of the "sacred space"; we got the pillar holders (48") but now need the candles (red, yellow, blue and green). all the candles they had at Peir 1 were to small and seemed to get lost in the holder.

ok...so maybe there isn't time to sit on my hands...that's alot to do. wow...2 months...
