First we picked up Kath at the airport on Wednesday. It was really nice to spend a tiny bit of time with her before the wedding. We had wings at Coopers with Bones and Joe. It was almost a mini-wedding-party outing. I made a lame excuse to go home early on Thursday morning so I could spend a little more time with her before we had to send her on a train to Ottawa. Hopefully my manager is not mad since my excuse was really weak, even for me.
Then last night I spent a few hours enjoying the patio at Failte's with a few West-GTA WBers. Parker's grandfather is dying of cancer so she's been really bummed. I think it was good for her to get out and get her mind off of things.
Today, I got a surprise visit from Kiran at work. She's in town for an AIDS conference or something and she had a meeting with Diane here, so she stopped in. It was good to see her. I think California is treating her well b/c she looks great. Either that, or it's the fact that she doesn't have to plan a wedding anymore. Maybe I'll look like a million bucks after this too. Probably not though... I'll be lucky if I look like a buck-fifty.
There's still lots to do. I feel like I need to make a list.
Also left to do:
- decide on and order alcohol (dedided on, but not ordered)
- make table numbers/menus
- print out and assemble seating chart
- arrange transportation (done)
- buy undergarments for my dress
- send photographer must-take-photo list (done)
- find "something borrowed" (done - thanks Kath!)
- make hairpins (tried making one, will need to buy wire for the rest)
- finalize itinerary and give to wedding party, vendors and parents
- start paying the balances on all our deposits (restaurant is done, paid for the cake today, will pay 2nd deposit for photographer tomorrow)
- wrap bridal party and parents' gifts
- get a hold of our officant to drop off our marriage license and get him to check over our program before printing (done through the parish office since Fr. Callistus is ill)
- make playlists for dinner and the reception
I'm sure there's more. We've both been having wedding dreams (or rather nightmares) and I don't think I've had a solid 8 hours sleep all month. Gotta remember to take deep breaths.
