15 Days To Go
The cannot believe the way time is rushing by. I don't feel ready. There is a lot of organization to do.
Yesterday, I got out the wedding bands we ordered from Etsy. They are hammered metal. I tried mine on with my wedding ring again and I decided that I didn't like it. Paul's matching one looks good on him. It has a masculine style to it. Mine just looked akward and bulky on me:
I ended up ordering a cheap sterling silver band that I actually like much better. It's much cheaper, but I think it will actually go with my low key engagement ring:
I can always wear the old ring on my right hand.
This weekend, I will have very little time to work on the wedding stuff. Tonight, our friends Joe and Tyia (and their two year old Sol) are
coming over to watch a Chinese film (Tyia is Thai, not Chinese, but I guess she likes all things Asian), called In The Mood For Love. That should be fun. Tomorrow moring we are getting up at the crack of dawn to drive to Traverse City for a wedding. Yea! We are spending the night and then trying to leave early enough to be back for our friends, Teresa and Charlene's joint birthday party.
Teresa and Charlene are taking me out next week, on Wednesday, since Paul's bachelor party is that night (that means about 5 guys are coming over here to drink beer, play video games and watch The Warriors.) I don't know what we are doing for my bachelorette party. I can't help but feel as if Charlene got talked into taking me out by Chuck (Paul's best man and her fiance), but me and Charlene are friends too. Amie doesn't arrive until Monday, August 10th and Alison and Brian won't be here until the 12th. That's a little late for a bachelorette party. I don't really care about having one either way, especailly since I haven't drank any alcohol for almost eight months.
We met with our photographer last night (I almost forgot about this.) Here is a link to his work: http://philipsouthern.com/
He just won $10,000 from a photo contest from someplace called YOBI for this picture:
He's only 22, but he seemed pretty professional. He's going to set up a photo booth scenario, with different fabrics and such. We told him just to do whatever he wanted, photo wise. We were glad he turned out to be cool.
