check and check

A few more things are getting completed. Blake was able to go to Moore's in Calgary and get sized for his tuxedo before his adventurous "move" to New York. I think he's also found shoes he would like to wear to the wedding, he just has to order them. Tina got our hair and make-up appointments booked at Swizzlesticks in Kensington. I'm excited about that! RSVP cards are starting to trickle in. Chloe and I run to the door each day when we hear the mail fall through the slot, in anticipation of seeing who will and will not be attending the wedding. Dearest Lisa French bought tickets for she and I to attend the Vancouver bridal show September 16th. We both thought it would be fun to attend one of these shows just to see what it's like and get pumped for the coming "big day". Should be fun! Still haven't worked on the details of the ceremony, or music selections, or found cupcake decorations, but I have started to cut out the fabric for Tina's "Bestman" dress. I really need to get moving on it or else she's gonna end up going to the wedding half naked (or in something bought from Le Chateau the week of the wedding... eeek!)

The invitations have all been addressed and mailed. Phew! Glad to have that task done. I was able to pick up US stamps while on a day trip to Seattle with the lovely Tina Riedner and Peter Curtis Morgan. I also dragged the two of them down to the bridal store while they were in town to show off my wedding dress, which had arrived the week before. Lots of fun! My closet is currently playing host to the gorgeous gown... alterations will be one month before the wedding.

Jared and Marcus went to Moore's last week and picked out the groom's tuxedo and tuxedos for all the male attendants. Sounds like they enjoyed themselves, although the customer service was apparently less than wonderful. I managed to find some shoes for Marcus for the wedding at the Seattle Outlet mall, thanks to the shopaholic Peter Morgan. So I think Marcus is coming close to having his wedding outfit all figured out. I, personally, still need to make my veil (I know, I've been saying that for months), buy some jewelry and fancy under-things.

Next up on the to-do list: figure out details for the ceremony, make hair and make-up appointments, start planning music choices, and find decorations to go on top of the cupcakes.
