wedding on Saturday
So I am pretty much in quasi-panic attack mode at this point.
I think I may end up taking a vacation day today. This is partly because I have had trouble sleeping for the past week and it's been especially bad the past few nights. I'm exhausted by 9:30 and then I wake up at 2 and can't fall back to sleep. Then when I eventually do, I have bad dreams about the wedding. I'm usually a very sound sleeper, and so any sleep issues really freak me out and throw me off my game, so I'm feeling really odd and off today.
Additionally our ceremony/rehearsal site coordinator was originally supposed to meet with us like, either Saturday or Sunday of this past weekend so we could finalize things, but then a month ago planned a trip out of town so we couldn't do it. The place is too far away to really drive out to on a weeknight, so we're doing a phone call with her today. The problem is, theoretically they want payment 1 week before the wedding, and they've apparently changed their original policy where they could accept credit card payment; now they can only take a bank check or a money order? Which is very annoying, because I now have to go obtain one of those, and either mail it, or give it to her Friday at the rehearsal -- she has not told me what she wants! I guess I wait for the phone call tonight, aka after the post office is closed.
It doesn't help that all my bad dreams about the wedding happened to be about problems at the reception, like that she completely forgot to order both chair covers and tablecloths so everything was bare, and that the baker messed up the cake and it was so tiny it would only serve about 20 people. These are stupid and irrational fears, I know, but I have a hard time shaking weird dream feelings sometimes.
I am also feeling paranoid that the floral wholesaler in California is going to forget to ship my flowers, so I guess today is my last day to contact them about that since they're supposed to go out with UPS tomorrow. So that's another errand for me to do today as I'm 99% sure I'm going to call in to work and request that vacation day. Additionally I need to figure out what to have the string quartet play as a recessional (and thanks, Mom, saying "so, NOTHING is going to be religious?" is really a) not helpful, b) beside the point, and c) um, you knew this from the beginning, so stop) so I can let them know. And then put it on the program. Which I have yet to make. And I need to find out what kind of expensive ink our printer takes, buy the cartridges, have Chris put them in, and print like a million programs. As I type this I am more and more inclined to just utterly skip this part. Which I think I'll do. I can return the stupid overpriced paper that I bought for this purpose to Paper Source, which will be easy to do because I stop there practically every day now and am like, "here, take all my money!" So it will be nice to get money back from them. And anything I can recoup from the FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS I managed to spend this weekend would be really, really nice.
One fun thing to do ten days before your wedding is to go talk to a gynecologist about how you probably have endometriosis and may have a hard time having children.
Oh, and the forecast is calling for scattered thunderstorms in Uxbridge on Saturday.
