Holy Matrimony, Batman! There are only 17 days left until Michael's and my lovefest of a wedding.
The To Do List
(Please note that this is an incomplete list)
Finish adding ribbon to the bodice of my dress, decide if I want a bow at the bustle or not
Clean silver jewelry for wedding
Get dress steamed, iron rehearsal dinner dress
Get MJB's suit cleaned (it was clean, but then he went to an interview yesterday and it needs it again)
Decorate napkins and other reception extras
Buy wreaths for the church/reception
Make an appointment with Bijan, the baker, to finalize the cake design
Finish buying paper/plastic good for the reception (we got almost everything last night at Smart and Final, but they were out of stock on a few items)
Finalize food order with Buca di Beppo
Order bread from either Albertsons or the Acme Bread Co.
Write out instructions for people who are helping set stuff up/run the show on wedding day
Write ceremony program, print out a metric buttload of copies, and prepare as needed
Make ring pillow from great grandmothers vintage fabric
Find ties for groomsmen, dads, and ring bearer that are not ugly
Finish crochetting edging on sleeves of shrug (so close!!!)
Construct paper baskets for hotel rooms that MJB's aunt made for us - fill with note to guests and Ghirradelli chocolate goodness
Order maps from SF city, maps from Los Altos Chamber, as well (call AAA and see if they offer maps for these occassions)
Buy shoes to wear at rehearsal dinner and wedding - I know, I should have gotten these a while ago...
Find shawls for bridesmaids - check Thai Silk in Los Altos
See if necklace order is in at Global Bead in Mountain View
Order veggie and fruit platters
Et cerera...
