We Have Lift-off!

Finally some decisions have been made. Yay! I had an amazingly productive day. I...

• confirmed the date, booked the church, and sent the deposit
• confirmed the date and booked the hotel for the reception
• further refined the menu with the chef
• canceled the other venues that were doing things for me
• spoke with the reverend at the parish where i am resident about having the banns read (we're getting married in a parish where neither of us is resident, which makes things tricky)
• got a final guest list from the in-laws
• got addresses to send out Save the Date cards
• purchased the Save the Date cards
• and the address labels to go with them
• and post cards with pretty photos of Bristol to put inside them
• and ribbon to wrap the gift of the reception we're going to on Saturday
• went to a lecture
• talked on the phone with my mom for an hour
• met with one of my bridesmaids about dress fittings
• picked up the first bits of my dress from the dressmaker, which will be sent home to mom who will do the embroidery
• sorted out all the flower arrangements for the church
• contacted the organist about music
  
• went to a boat club meeting
• ate a lemon drizzle cake
• and a pan of stir-fried veggies with coconut, ginger, and basil sauce

whew. i feel better. (about everything except my degree.*)

don't worry, this will be the last post about wedding shenannigans for a while. maybe.



*yes I know it's ultimately more important, but there are other things that need to be done more immediately. christ, you sound like my mother.
