Greetings All,
This is count down week and sooo much still to get done! Last Saturday we celebrated with our gals in the bridal party. All of the usual fixings. A request we have made with the wedding is that instead of gifts for us we are trying to do a Pass It Forward. Our friend that hosted the wedding was easily talked out of silly bridal games and we spent the first part of our evening putting together bags for the homeless and needy in the Denver area. We thought it was a wonderful way to have the wedding party bond. After 34 years together, who needs 10 new toasters and Deb says that making wedding dresses out of toilet paper is just a waste of toilet paper....she is ever the pragmatic one. Where we are burning up paper is with the continually growing list of must do tasks prior to the ceremony Saturday. For everything that gets crossed off, two more get added. We are looking forward to seeing what actually takes place.
Today was spent with our granddaughter (11 tomorrow) preparing her to be our flower girl and ring bearer. Tomorrow birthday party, Wednesday spent at a spa, Thursday pedis and mannis plus an essential car service, Friday setting up reception area with rented canopies, tables, chairs et al.. In the midst of all this is the need to prepare food for the reception, finish fitting our dresses, welcome visitors and guests, oh yes, need to write some vows, put together a sound track for the reception, breathe, drinks for the reception, choose some champagne for the toast, breathe, get our rings cleaned, prepare an itinerary for the honeymoon road trip and remind each other that we are having the time of our lives! Wouldn't trade it for anything! Squeeeeeeeeee!
We realize that all this cannot be done by the two of us alone so we are looking forward to the arrival of two traveling waifs (and perhaps a pair of honey badgers?) that may show up in a day or two.....that is unless they notice this post and figure out what is awaiting them.
Enough for now, and for those of visual orientation, pictures may show up if one of those traveling waifs can teach me how to post them.
