Crazy updates...
Aeline leaves tomorrow to go back home. She WILL be here for the wedding. We got verification from her school that she can miss three days, we told her mother, and we verified she wants to be here. So guess WHAT... we are sending the notification to her mother "writeen notification" and buying her ticket. If her mom plays games... back to court we go.
Throughout her visit we went to the Baltimore Aquarium, the Statue of Liberty, FAO Schwarz, The US Capitol, The Washington and Lincoln Monument, Georgetown Cupcakes (The DC Cupcake show), and like a few other great places. OH the PIttsburgh Carnegie Science Center, and Hershey Park. We got to spend a lot of time with her and getting to know her and it was great. This past week Joe took off work completely unpaid to just spend the time with Aeline, and I thought that was great. I find family to be very much more important than money, and it sucks financially, a little, well... will, but I am Ok with that.
Wedding!!!
Invitations went out, and I loved them. I edited the wording just a little, and I got a great little message from my grandma that she loved the wording and she had never seen something nice. She said, "I sure like your invitation the wording sure is very nice have not ever had one quite as nice. You are really sombody else you really surprise me." That was a little pick me up!
Joe's dad is totally pissing me off. He wanted to spend 25-30$ per plate on lasanga, or chicken for the rehersal dinner. I thought that was totally BS, and I said no.. if we are going to do something for like 20$ for just ya know... 30 people.... I want it to be something I want. So we came up with a really lounge feel idea with a laid back buffet... pizza, wings, and salad, and then after dinner enjoying the pool that is in the hotel. It cost about 20$ per person and he is being all shitty about that. Like, WTF.. Go ahead and have your 30$ stuffy stuck up dinner and you can just run the whole thing. DICK.
Ugh.
For bridesmaid gifts I think I am getting my sister a coach wristlet, a necklace, and a giftcard. My friend is getting her dress, a necklace and a giftcard (her dress cost me 30$). The boys are getting their shoes - chucks, and one is getting a barware set, and the other is probably getting a grilling set. These fit the people to a T I think.
Cake-ok... can I just scream about this!!! My sister recommended this person she used to work with. I have called this woman THREE times and she hasn't called me back once. So I guess my sister is putting the lean on her to get her to communicate with me or her.
Ceremony readings have not been finalized, and I am starting to think about that.. it should have been done for a while now... GRR..
Candy buffet is coming together... well sorta. I am freaked about the cost of that!
Place cards. So my coordinator came up with this cute idea. Take the take-out boxes (for the buffett) and put a hanging namecard on them with ribbon. I love the idea.. Joe does too. So glad I will post pictures when I actually get one put together.
I think that is all I have right now. I just wanted to share some with my friends list.
