Wedding events are coming along quickly and efficiently. You know, you never really know how much goes into a wedding until you have one. There are so many tiny little details that one would never even think of, really. Like, what do you put around the food on the buffet table to fill it up? How do you decorate the guest book table? Who's ever heard of a makeup trial? How are people not bored out of their minds during speeches??
To backtrack, here are the things that have already fallen nicely into place, and were a lot of fun in the process!
1. I've already asked all of my bridesmaids, and they couldn't be more thrilled. Though, it's tough because my Maid of Honour is going to be in BC until the end of August, and another of my bridesmaids is moving to Saskatchewan, and I'm not even sure if she'll be able to BE one, because of the distance and the things I'll need her for in the week preceding the big day. The other two, fortunately, are in the same province. How lucky.
2. I've asked my beautiful flower girl! And she was absolutely ecstatic, though her first remark was "I want a longer dress this time!" (it's her second time down the aisle.) I went over to her house, and we played Barbies in matching princess crowns for a while, and then watched a romantic Barbie movie before I officially asked her. I'm happy that all worked out.
3. The man has asked his groomsmen, and he's FINALLY chosen a Best Man. That was a process, I must say. They are all so high on his list, that he just couldn't decide. What it came down to was pretty much whoever spent the most time with him in a given week. Now all that's left is to assign their duties, I'm sure they'll be thrilled...
4. The venue is booked! It's a beautiful little church that doesn't really look like a church, which is absolutely perfect for us! Basically, our requirements were: a big open space, must have sound and lighting capabilities, a stage, an intimate atmosphere. The place we've found is just perfect for all of those fields, so, voila! Venue. Done. (And, it's cheeeeap!)
5. We've had a meeting with a potential photographer (I'm already decided, mind you, the man would be content with disposables to capture our precious memories...) and he is divine. He's personable and charismatic, seems to really truly care about what he does. He specializes in Wedding photography, and takes the most beautiful pictures I've ever seen. Also, the albums are simply to die for. Sure, it'll eat up about 25% of our budget, but you have GOT to see these pictures!
6. I'm hoping we can find some family members who want to cook up some food for our special day! All we need is enough meatballs, potatoes, mixed vegetables, ham, buns, salad, etc. for 120 people. If I can assign that task to enough people, I think we can come up with a really fun meal! And people appreciate when you go that extra mile, serve a home cooked meal, really a personal touch I think. (and, low on the $$$ scale... tehe)
7. I have my dress!!!
8. No I will not describe it to you. Stop asking.
