Updates- dress and officiant... and things...

So my SIL got an email notification last week saying the government received our form asking for her to be the officiant. Eee.

Tomorrow, I'm meeting with the lady (my friend Jon's sister) who will hopefully make my dress fit more fabulously than it does now. It needs to be cinched at the waist more and my friend Robin decided I should ask if she can cover up the seam in the back a little better. We'll see. Remind me to pack an extra ativan tomorrow just in case I panic. I'm not great with trying on clothes in stores.

97 days to go. HOLY SHITSNACKS WITH RICE AND SOME COOKIES FOR DESSERT.

Also, we have to figure out the schedule and the menu. And where my hair will be done. And make up. And I think that's all I'm freaking out about at the present time. Oh and the vows and structure of the ceremony. I should book the notary.

Hooo. It feels like I had everything figured out a few weeks ago... Now? Not so much.

ETA: Oh, and while there are some invites still in the mail mysteriously, there are about a half dozen we forgot to mail. :-o Sorreh. :D

Dress!

So the dress alterations will probably happen Saturday. Well, the decisions on the alterations, anyway. We'll see what happens.

Also, invites are still being delivered to Montrealers. It's utterly ridiculous. A month to go from a suburb to the city? Come on. Just unbelievable.

That's about it for updates.

Eeee... and random updates...

Mailed the officiant papers today. :-o We'll see what happens.

Theknot.com says we have 106 days. Hopefully the papers will get there before the 90 day cut off mark.. Eee. Also, the knot says I have 109 things to do and 72 things done... It doesn't feel that way...

I may have also found the gifts for the bridesladies, which I think is just my sister in law (officiant), Maxine and Tracy, so cost-wise, it's not so bad. :D I found something that I think is plain enough to be worn, cute enough to mean something and hopefully, depending on the vendor's response, a certain color to represent us.

Mike still hasn't decided boo about his groomsguys' gifts as far as I know.

I guess the other main things left are deciding what we'll do for the ceremony, fixing my hair and make up,  getting the dresses altered, telling Mike's mom (if he wants to?) that she's doing the rehearsal dinner...? Um. What else? Finalizing things with the photographer... Arranging the rental of the plates and stuff... Deciding if we want a tent... Um... I guess a lot of stuff.

So far... [counts] Twenty people are coming. I don't think we'll need a tent for that.

I guess that's it for now. Oh, and some people still haven't gotten their invites, which is a bummer. The people we know of are in Montreal too, so wtf.
