Wedding Social June 24th!!!!!

Preface/preample
If the blogging frequency as of late is any indication, I've been a little busy. And, like many things, the longer it's been, the more difficult it is to work up the motivation to do it. But, here I am! Wedding stuff is what has been occupying my mind a lot lately, and I suppose that would have been a better title for this blog, but I wanted to reach all those people who only read titles, and get the news out. Well, I will start the post for real now.

Wedding Stuff
I cannot believe I am supossed to be getting married in four months. I mean, I believe it, but at the same time...where did the time go? I feel like I have so much to do, but I think I will feel better about myself if I blog what has been done recently.

Flowers
We have picked a florist. I had a nightmare a little while ago that we left picking a florist until the last minute and it cost a thousand dollars. We are on a bit of a budget now...the photographer cost more than I thought, so $1,000 for flowers would be too much. The next day, I made three apointments for consultations. We saw two on Saturday, and the last on Monday. The first place, Academy florists, was wonderful. The lady working, Janet, took the time to try to figure out exactly what we wanted. She took lots of notes and made helpful suggestions. She expressed the greatest confidence in their flower arranger, and showed us the work for a wedding that day. While we were there, the flowers were picked up, and she checked and double checked to ensure the order was correct.

The next two places we visited made me angry. I felt that they simply were not listening to what I was saying, and were disagreeing with my tastes. Perhaps Academy simply set the bar too high. Needless to say, the choice was easy.

Bridesmaid Dresses
Two of my three beautiful friends have bought their dresses. They both look absolutely wonderful in them. My cousin looks in her dress as sweet and youthfully sophisticated (if that makes any sense) as I picture her. My friend Mary looks in her dress as fun and stunning as I picture her. My friend Claire has yet to buy her dress, but I believe has picked one - I have seen the picture, and it looks phenomenal! I can only hope that people will still want to look at me, when I have three such gorgeous babes to compete with!

Wedding Social
A date and place has been selected: June 24th at the Cresentwood Community Center, on Corydon (how's that for alliteration?). I hope that all of my Winnipeg readers can make it, and if anyone else wants to make the trip, I'll be thrilled. Much still needs to be done, especially the prizes part, but I cannot complain. Sang's boss has very generously offered to have the company do the majority of the organizing for us, as a wedding present. In theory, all I have to do is show up and have fun, but in practice, I will be stressing and working as hard as I can. Sang, being part of the "company" sure is!

Epilogue
Well, that has turned out to be a rather long entry. I would probably do better to write more often, but shorter!
