My Wedding Plans

stupid blogger!

okay, for some reason I have drafts in both this blog and my main blog but whenever i go thru blogger.com to edit them and hopefully post them, my browser runs like a snail and I get too frustrated to get anything done. SO quick update:

Wedding is on. Set for May 5th in Elizabeth Park, Trenton, MI
Reception set for Harry LEster Hall in Southgate MI later that evening
groomsmen (Jose, Tre, Bob, Joey, Keith) wearing black gambino shirts from http://www.davincishirts.com
bridesmaids (velisia, angie, Jen, Heather) wearing black cherry swing dress from http://www.daddyos.com
already bought the maracas for reception and cactus shot glasses for reception favors
today received 15 black 4.25" mint julep cups for centerpieces for reception
Sent out guest list to mom and dad&denise for the once over so they can see who they want to add to the list (currently at about 60 invitations)
Chatted with Jen on the phone about her wedding...they invited 200 people!
Chatted with Kevin about the food and liquor situation...we're gonna have it covered...still need a bartender for our reception tho. Thinking about putting an ad on a couple groups I'm on.
Almost finished my first "noncho" for the bridesmaids...not too sure how happy I am with what the final product is going to look like.
Moose lodge was cheeper to rent than Harry Lester...by $50...but alcohol (drinks in general) would have been close to twice or three times as much as we'll pay for the HL hall...no brainer!
Putting deposti down on Elizabeth Park by end of the week.
Ordering invitations next week once we get guest list semi-finalized.
Chicken(a.k.a. Heather) is supposed to come visit the weekend of March10th. We're going to get my dress out and do lots of wedding stuff that weekend if we can! (like making the soaps and putting the "shake me for a kiss" tags on the maracas)
Not going to be able to afford getting my tooth permanently fixed before the wedding...gonna be $1000 for the bridge...so I'm going to see about a cheepr temp fix called a "flipper" which is pretty much a fake tooth on a retainer...wish me luck....
And i think that's it. I'm off to make myself presentable as when Kevin comes home he wants to go out for a drink (been a long day for him) I feel like crap so it's gonna take some work lol.

And I want to thank all 5 of you (lol) that read this blog and give me encouraging words. You are the best friends! I was talking to my sis in law Jen tonight and she told me how impressed she was that I'm hanging in there and not breaking down. She said when she was this close to her own wedding to my brother she was crying practically everyday. And I have to thank my purkle friends most of all for your love and support and giving me a venue to vent in. I couldn't be this "together" (which i'm not lol...trust me) without you all! Thank you all from my whole heart!

ONLY 3 months to go!!!!!!!!
