Bridal silliness

I am sure this will be the first of a long series of posts.
The Canuck and I have set our date: May 16, 2009. The church is booked. Our priests (yes, that’s plural) are booked, barring unforeseeable disasters. We’ve more or less settled on where we want the reception to be, and are physically scouting out the site this weekend; if it passes muster, we’ll sit down with the manager and hammer out details. We’ve selected and asked our prospective attendants, and they’ve all said yes.
Let’s see, what else…My dear friend Jill has already agreed to help us with the planning. We’re starting marriage prep as soon as we get the letter from the parish marriage coordinator, giving us the name and contact information of the guy we do the first part with. We’ve already talked to the immigration lawyer, and are starting to collect documentation to send to the INS. (Any of you who know us personally, consider yourselves fair game to be asked for an affidavit.)
With all this already in place, I, being me, needed something to worry and obsess about. So last night I ordered our cake serving set. :-p
Hey, it was on clearance on weddingchannel.com, and even if we end up wrapping the handles in some kind of ribbon (depending on particulars of the decor that aren’t determined yet), it’s still darned cheap! Including UPS ground shipping, it was less than $15! And really, what’s the worst that can happen? I end up hating it and sell it on eBay. Big whoop. 
** UPDATE ** With that taken care of, I found myself thinking about toasting flutes. At first everything I could find was just too precious for words: ribbons and taffeta and Precious Moments figurines ad nauseam. I even found heart-shaped flutes, and a set that fit together into a heart shape. If that floats your boat, fine; but the Canuck and I like to keep things simple.
Then I found them. The perfect toasting flutes for us. And best part, they’re reasonable! I saw sets that were forty, fifty, sixty dollars plus personalizing and shipping. Thirty-three plus shipping sounds good to me!
** SECOND UPDATE ** I have The Canuck’s approval to order the toasting flutes come payday. Now I need to show him the guest book and pen I found… :-p
too cute for words.
You absolutely must re-read this in ten years.
Hahahahahahahahhahaha! Katie, you have so much time before your wedding. Too funny! What if you pick out invitations and they (gasp) don’t match your toasting flutes? Are you going to have this thing all planned out in the next couple of months and then be sitting there, tapping your foot, anxiously second-guessing all the things you already planned, waitin for the BIG DAY to arrive? You will then have months and months and months to worry that you chose something that you now wish that you could change, but you don’t want to respend the money????
HAHAHAHA! It’s either that or NOT try to get everything set right now and possibly implode due to the lack of proactivity. THEN, to be running around at the last minute like a chicken, wondering if maybe you would have had better options to pick from if you had started looking for items sooner.
So, basically, you are hosed, no matter how you look at it!
Good luck!
