Coming Down To It

Well, it's less than 3 weeks to the wedding and it's getting real. I am doing up some little things - finishing touches - and I'm thinking more and more about the logistics for things and other little things that have to get done. I think I'm getting there, I just wish that I had more time to do some things. Next weekend is full. We're having a Putici family reunion in Summerland so that weekend is a write-off and the next weekend is the last weekend before the wedding so it's going to be a frantic finishing up of all other details.

I just wish that Jeremy was home. He would be such a comfort that no one else could be. I'm glad that he is able to come back home for the family reunion.

Well, back to wedding stuff, I am just working on putting together some activity baskets for the kids at the reception. I don't think there are going to be too many kids but it'll be good to have just in case.

I do have a few other things that I want to do ahead of time so I am going to be working on those things this week as much as I can.

Talk to you all later!

Much Done, Much To Do

Okay, so since my last post, we have done quite a bit! We had to change our date for meeting with our caterer until later in the week but my parents, Jeremy's mom, Jeremy and I visited Chinook Village to pick out our menu, see what features were available, what the regulations of the facility are, etc. The meeting went really well and smoothly.

After we picked our menu, we headed to the Holiday Inn Express to book hotel rooms and do the whole block-off thing. We got there and we booked rooms but we couldn't do block-offs because the manager wasn't there. I took home her business card and emailed her instead but she has since emailed me requesting me to call her about details so I have yet to do that. I think that will be this week's project.

A couple weeks ago, we booked our honeymoon. We are very excited about it but we are keeping it a secret until after we get back. I'll give you a couple hints, we're leaving the country... and we're going where neither of us have been before. That narrows it down a bit, right? Ha ha.

Last week, Jeremy and I headed to the only Dollarama in town and checked out things for the wedding (specifically: centerpieces). Earlier, I was so excited to find a couple things online that I wanted and couldn't find in any stores here. The things from the Dollarama were for some others that I couldn't find or were too expensive elsewhere. I am totally going to be a (repeat) name-dropper here but, seriously, Dollarama has good quality and many items that you'd never find at your Dollar Giant or Dollar Plus Store. I found the perfect things to complete my centerpiece vision and Jeremy even liked the idea so that's a major plus!

And... my favourite news... my  Ring Bearer Bowls (TM) arrived on Friday! It was probably the most exciting week so far in the wedding planning process. I actually got 2 because instead of having a flower girl, Jeremy and I are having 2 ring bearers that are like my little brothers. One will be holding the bowl pictured below and the other will be holding one that says, "I THEE WED" and then our names and wedding date are below. These are going to be heirlooms for our future generations and I am so excited to have them on display afterwards in our home.

Well, we still have lots to do like bridesmaid dresses, invitations, suits/tuxes, shoes, gifts, hotel block-offs, decoration ideas, and more... better get on it soon.


Good night!
