Today marks the 9 month mark. For our wedding! Up to now I had really been paying this much attention but I think now that I am to single digits it will start to set it. And I think it’s kind of funny that August 13 is also a Friday. Hehe!
M and I got a few more wedding things done today. He called the wedding coordinator, finally, at the hotel to set up a call to discuss the details.  We will talk to her next Friday at lunch. I think at that point we will have a better idea of how this will all work. We have the pricing sheet but I’m pretty sure that can’t be right ;) But really, I think it will give us a better idea of what we want to do after the wedding. I would prefer a “beach bbq” as opposed to a sit down dinner in one of the restaurants. I guess we might could do something outdoors but I’m not sure how I feel about something too formal. To me, sit down dinners are formal and well, nothing about this wedding really screams formal. In general I’m not a sit down dinner kind of gal. They feel to structured for me. I’m not very structured. I let M take care of that. 🙂
I made a call of my own today. I called the bridal shop to see if there was any kind of delivery date for my dress. My original thought was it should be in around Labor day. Which meant BEACH TRIP! But when I called she said it would be OCTOBER!!!!!!!!! And not only that but the END of October. Ughh! Oh well, it’s not like the wedding is anytime too soon. I guess I will have to wait.
I also found another site for flowers. I have now decided that I DO NOT want the “free” bouquet that comes with our wedding package. Plus I heard from another Sandals bride that it was pretty puny. The only problem I’m running into is that the places that have reasonably priced bouquets also have minimum orders that are about double what the bouquet is. Basically I found a great bouquet for $60.00 but I have to spend $100.00. I would prefer to not spend $100.00 on flowers, and fake ones at that. This may all remedy itself, if the moms and grandmothers want corsages. M is pretty opposed to this idea. “Why are we going to spend money on that?” “Well it’s pretty traditional hun.” “There is nothing about this wedding that is traditional, I don’t want traditional.” His words not mine. I see his point on one hand but the moms/grandmothers may see this differently. And if so I will of course have my minimum of $100.00. So we will see.
Well I think it just about movie time! Have a great weekend!
