Bridal Shower June 22, 2008

So yesterday was my bridal shower and it was a success to say the least. Held at my mother’s house many of my family and friends came to have A LOT of martinis and mixed drinks and LOTS of yummy food. My “it girl” handled everything so I didn’t have to stress or worry about any of it. Which was very cool.

I am amazed at the generosity of my family and friends, it is wonderful. I loved everything from the party to the gifts to the cards and the notes. Kind words and well wishes are not lost on me.

I had so much fun I forgot to take pictures, luckily though my sister-in-law Catie grabbed my camera and shot away for me. You can find the pictures here: ShowerPics click on the Shower gallery and enter what kind of drinks we were having as the password (I don’t like to have pictures public on the internet, not fair to anyone but me in those pictures)

Thanks to everyone who came and sent well wishes!

moving right along June 17, 2008

A few things are done, which is good.  One, all of the US invites are out (I think) and most of the Canadian ones are out too.  Just a few people we are waiting for addresses from so there is that.  I am already recieving RSVP cards, so far four are in 🙂

Our rings arrived, I tried mine on and it fits perfectly.  They are so pretty there is only one problem, I didn’t want to take it off!  It will be interesting switching fingers for my engagement ring next month, the engagement ring is pretty big so they won’t both fit on the same finger, so there will be an adjustment 🙂

The flowers are ordered, white lilacs won’t be in season but my mother picked out something just as nice so it will all be nice.

Today I am going down to NY and my friend Mary and I (Mary who is now going by Mary-Kate and I need to remember that) are going to work on making the gum paste flowers for the cake, it is pretty exciting.

I still have a few odds and ends to do, some things I need to pick up before my fitting tomorrow but things are going well here 🙂

Coordination! and Carpooling! And Room Sharing! June 2, 2008

There are a lot of out of town guests that will be coming to this wedding.  Please use this as a starting point to get together with others if you need to share a room (since some of you already know each other) or to carpool or share a rental car, again, many of you know each other.

We have folks from the west coast, the east coast, the south and all parts of Canada so please talk here!

What started this?  Well our friend Dave was asking how much it costs to bus it from Pet to NYC (Since Fred used to make the trip all the time)  I told him just over 200 for the bus, but if he hooks up with someone else coming from Pet or the area then they could carpool and save money (it takes 3-4 gas tanks from Pet to NYC and back again) so for two people it makes sense to drive it.

Please use the comments to say where you are coming from if you are looking for some ideas
