wedding windup
ok, now it's january, the holidays are behind me (and a happy extremely late birthday to teresa! I JUST NOW realized that I passed on going to lunch with you ON YOUR BIRTHDAY, shame on me), and I can get down to business!
the first order of which is, of course, making a list of things that need or should be done in the next two months.
things involving other people's actions:
--converse with elfling about alterations (I need her contact info because I never remember her LJ username)
--converse with christie about cake decorating trial(s)
--get those &^%*$#ing affidavits of free status sent out to teresa and mom
--email sarah about the rehearsal because wyatt's parents want to know when to plan the dinner
--January 27th, 7pm, diocesan pastoral center, first NFP class: tell duckie that I will not be able to attend the meetings on Jan 27, Feb 10, Mar 10, and Apr 7
things involving other people's input:
--VEIL!!!!! damn thing is driving me crazy. beg elfling and teresa to divulge their secrets.
--have someone else look over the wedding website before we start telling people to visit it.
--have a discussion on whether or not to have table assignments, and if so, how to convey said assignments.
--ask the person at the floral dept in fry's if they get white and/or orange roses in may.
--ask the person at phoenix flower shops how much freesia might be in may.
things involving just me and others if they like:
--finish putting together the registry.
--get some roses from the grocery store and practice making a bouquet.
--start compiling actual music list or playlist. dust off the ipod to get everything in one place.
--start collecting quotes for the bookmark favors.
the problem with thinking about all this stuff for so long is that now, the shortening time is unreal and I feel like if I really do start things, I'm jumping the gun. as I made this list from the master list of everything that needs to get done, so many times I would type something out just to say "I don't need to do that now, it's still far to early." I've heard that a lot and I've *never* heard that I need to get on this. I guess it also still feels that I'm going this alone, and that other people still have zero interest in hearing about it. it's a weird place to be in.
I guess this is a little bit of how the boy who cried wolf felt when the wolf really was there.
