17 Days and counting...

So looking at the handy little counter on the first post I made back in August of last year, it says 17 days. 17! Yikes. Thankfully we have pretty much all of the details ironed out. We were able to get a lot of stuff done when we were back in Victoria two weeks ago for another wedding. One of my bridesmaids (Amy) just had to get married before us...*shakes fist*. J/K. It was a great wedding and we found out that both them and us have the same tastes apparently (intentional or accidental aside). We ended up having the same bubble wands, the same wine, and the same photographer of all things. It was really funny. While they were getting their wedding photos done, Jeff and I were looking at the photographer, and Jeff says to me "I think that is our photographer". I wasn't totally sure so I looked our photographer up on his website on my phone and he certainly looked like a younger version of the person in front of us. When we got a chance we asked Amy what the name of their photographer was (just to confirm) and it was the same guy. So our sneak peak of how he works gives us comfort that we chose a good photographer.

So in addition to this surprise twists at Amy and Trefor's wedding, we were also able to get our flowers squared away, buy decorations for the ceremony and the supplies for the centerpieces. It ended up we could no longer get the centerpieces we originally wanted to order from a company in the states cuz they were no longer shipping internationally. So we improvised on the idea and ended up finding some awesome sales at Michaels such that they ended up costing less than the other ones would have, and now that they have been assembled, setting them up on the tables is a two step process as opposed to the intricate mess that the other ones would have been. Probably a good thing since it will likely be the guys who are setting things up. The less they have to do and the faster it goes the better in my opinion. :)

So the last little details that we have left are trying to put together a possible pre-wedding party (replacing a bachelor/bachelorette party since that type of thing is not our cup of tea), a few more decorations need to be made (not going to do that til we get back to victoria..don't want them to get squished in transport), I have to figure out how I want my hair done as well as my mother's and probably a couple little details that are eluding me right now.

For all you who are going to be there...see you in at most 17 days!
