Leaps and Bounds
Seems like I get stalled out for awhile, and then the wedding planning just takes off. This was one of those weeks! I made a list of all the things I need to be working on right now and another list of the big things that need to be done. With everything written down I don't feel as anxious about everything that remains.
My cousin Christa, who works for Holland America cruise lines, worked her connections and helped me get a shuttle bus for all the guests for the wedding at a reasonable price. Good news! This means that shuttle service is definitely going to be available - more info to come in the invitations.
I also booked our limo. I thought I was getting a steal of a rate, but then you add on fees for the chauffeur, gas, etc. and it's suddenly $100 extra. I just needed it to be DONE though. Transportation? Check it off the list!
I found the crinoline on eBay - regularly these go for $65 and up - I'm getting mine for less than $30 including shipping, and I should get it next week! Another thing crossed off my list!
Sunday Tom and I are going to Oakland to taste cakes. We have appointments at 2 bakeries that I found references for online. I also have a couple SF references and the plan is to try them out next weekend.
Meanwhile, tomorrow night is the "Second Chance Prom" put on by a local radio station and featuring Rick Springfield for the entertainment. Tom's co-worker won tickets and gave them to us. We're tempted to go all out 80's style, when Tom was in high school, with the help of the local costume shop. Hopefully I'll have some cute pictures to share.
Hmmm, I never blogged about the Engaged Encounter weekend - 3 weeks ago! I'll go back through my workbook and pick out my favorite parts and fill you in soon. Now I have to go to bed...
