We're at 43 days now! And holy flying monkeys, I think things are falling into place!
I had a conversation with our planner, Karen, on Monday to get the transportation issues settled. And she was a delight! (I have terrible phone anxiety; I'm fine once on the phone, but oh, that hour leading up to it, I was a nervous wreck.) After talking it over with Doug's dad on the weekend, we opted for the one-way town car for his family. Just as a heads up, if it's going off-property, it is a little bit more money.
I figure between his dad and his brother, they should get his mom out the door on time. But just in case, we'll tell her to be ready half an hour before the car will actually be there.
My doctor's appointment this morning went well. She didn't go against the fibro diagnosis which is a relief. (I've encountered more than a few doctors that don't believe fibromyalgia exists, so...) I might need to start looking into more alternative forms of treatment, since I've tried all the current medicinal ones and have either had bad allergic reactions, ridiculous weight gain, or they didn't help at all. Bloodwork in two weeks, podiatrist at some point, etc. Overall, though, I'm pleased. She's nice, and she's not at that terrible medical center in Dartmouth!
Alright, back to the fun stuff. I have the final BEO! And since we're just doing the wedding, I was able to take a screenshot and it all fit in one image!
And here's the floral one... (this one I had to type up)
Bride's Bouquet:
-Hand-tied calla lily bouquet with white calla lilies and dark blue delphinium
-Wrap the stems 75% in white satin ribbons with 5 pearl pin Mickeys down the front of the stem
-Additional charge for added floral - $25
MoH Bouquet:
-Long stem large white calla lily presentation no greenery needed with the stem wrapped 75% in deep purple satin then crisscross wrapped over that with a thinner silver ribbon - $35
Groom:
-White calla lily with the stem wrapped in deep purple with a pearl Mickey accent
Best Man, Groomsmen, and my dad:
-White calla lily with the stem wrapped in malibu blue satin ribbon - $16.50 x3 = $49.50
Sand Ceremony -
Bride will provide own center sand ceremony jar / we will provide 1 side jar of blue sand and 1 side jar of green sand - $5 x2 = $10
Sprinkle altar table with lavender-blue and white petals (I completely forgot about this
) - $12.50
Bride will provide personalized aisle runner - set up fee - $25.00
Total floral with tax - $165.58
So, altogether, $7711.55. Which is $211.55 over the minimum.
I do so wish we could do more, but hey, there's always the vow renewal in the future.
That payment's getting mailed down on Saturday. Doug's parents did give us some money, which - YAY - covers the last payment!
Beaute Speciale got paid off yesterday, so all that's left is Randy and Rev. Tim. I found some coupon's online for Macy's this weekend, so I'm thinking Doug is being forced to find at least some part of his clothing then.
Let's see. I need a list. I feel better when I have lists.
-Doug's shirt, shoes, and jacket.
-I need a wedding ring still.
-Doug's mom is still making Kenzie's dress. Which makes me nervous, time-wise. I have to pick up the sash at DB for that this weekend.
-I have to pick up my dad's tie at MW.
-Find a box to mail stuff down to the resort. Find a box to mail my dress and Vicky's dress down to CA's.
-Call CA's and tell them the dress material change. I need to post-it note this one.
I think that's it? Am I missing anything?
Right over the minimum is perfect! I don't think you're missing anything.... Looks good--DF & I have basically a similar list (especially on the we-don't-have-anything-for-you-to-wear-holy-crap part =P) We are getting so close!!!
And we only went to the supercenter because I'm obsessed with the pineapple coconut water. (Otherwise I avoid walmart like the plague)
