Less than 2 weeks to go

I got my last big DIY job out of the way yesterday and did all the favours. We sorted the cake on Saturday and it's going to be about $50 more than I estimated and that's after the guy knocked $40 off. I decided the boys could go and pick it up, rather than pay for it to be delivered. They're also going to go and pick the flowers, though I haven't arranged that time yet. It's a good job the florist is going to be cheap cos they've been pretty useless in all honesty. I still need to contact the organist and just check he's got us in his calendar! We had our final details meeting at The Wellesley on Saturday too and Rebecca again said that they would set everything up so I might take up the offer and not be rushing around like a headless chicken on the morning. It just means I need to do a comprehensive diagram of how I want the tables and that should be it! I also apparently need to e-mail her a runsheet of the wedding timings - which I did a couple of weeks ago but she seemed to have forgotten... Ah well, I'm sure it will all be fine on the day.

We went to the copycat wedding on Saturday. Apart from the groomsmen having the same suits and ties as us (Wellington is a small city!), it was fine. They also had the Corinthians reading we're having but I think that's pretty standard at weddings and they only had the short version, and we're having the long. Their ceremony was also really short and - much as I liked our celebrant - I didn't think she did a particularly marvellous job so I think we may have come out of that fiasco quite well!
