Today was pretty good, but I didn't really get anything big accomplished. My grandpa said yes to the father-daughter dance, and my other grandparents and aunt called to say that they were coming, ask questions about the wedding, and generally see how I was and what I was up to. They said that Max was a really nice guy, and he was getting a nice girl, and we would make a happy family together. It was really sweet.
I went to Victoria Secret to use my gift card, and bought a silky type robe. I have a few nightie lingerie pieces, so I wanted something like that. The girl at the register asked me all about the wedding, how long we had been together, how he proposed, wanted to see a picture of my dress, etc. She called me cute because apparently I was all giggly without realizing it. She asked if my groom was nervous, and I said that he's taking it better than me.
Because behind the giggly exterior, I am dying. I tried to sing today and literally started gagging. What's that all about? I can feel my neck muscles turning into rocks, and I have forgotten to eat for the past 2 days.
Luckily, a lot of progress is getting made. The caterer said he had a lot of info already, and really just needed the menu choices and final headcount. Max and I knocked out the menu choices pretty quickly on Saturday, so I'm just waiting on the headcount. We're slowly getting there. It's looking like the count will be about 130.
We figured out the cake situation today too, which is awesome. And what's also awesome is that our baker, florist, photographer, and harpist all know each other. Mormons, right? But it's good, because they can all coordinate. Our cake is a spice cake with cream cheese frosting/ filling. Mmmm. And she's getting the rest of the sheet cakes from Costco.
I had intended to get the mason jars for the centerpieces, and other craft supplies today to make prototypes of what the jars will look like, and I just gave up. Jo-Anns didn't have cases of jars, they just sold them individually. I did buy more wooden boxes that I'm using for my wedding party and mother's gifts. I've been trying to decide how to paint them for a long time, and last night I nailed it. It's really nice, and handmade. I bought bigger boxes for the mothers.
I just made my groom a list of tasks. I feel like it's the first time so far that I actually have to order him to do stuff. Phew!
