Omg! We won! Three weeks to get everything done! Oh my! Wow! Still seems weird. I'm getting married? Really? Are you sure? Everyone says we sure deserve it a d i agree, and we want it, but is it real?
We were told we had to get everything done right away. So off to the races. Thank god i have an awesome boss, lets me combine my coffee and linch to get this stuff done without missing work.
Head down to the store that is offering my dress, walk in, explain why i'm there. So excited, they are going out of business and so we need to act fast. The owner states that we need to make an appointment. So cant do anything today. Very disappointing. Well quick change plans. Since we where going to get the dress on Thursday and the license and rings on friday, but now i have to get the dress on friday, so call james and see if he can run into town so that we can get the rings and some small stuff like hair appointments done today instead.
James can make it, so my brides maid and i walk downtown (since everyplace we need is downtown, (the downtown association put this together)) We try the place offering her jewelry. What color is your dress? Well we dont know because we had to make an appointment :(. Well guess we wont get that done either :(. Walk to yhe hair salon. Get all five of is booked with hair appointments, me the bridesmaid, my girls, and my mom. :). That is a good thing. They don't open till ten :/ what?!? Are wedding is at noon and we need makeup and to get dressed before that too! I didnt pick the time or date, i have no choice. They offer to open at nine!!! Wowee!! That's AWESOME!! Going to have to tip big!
On to the next place.. The rings! James calla the invitations are ready. I will grab them as i walk by on the way to the ring store. They look great! Awesome job! Now on to the rings! The best part right??? Walk in, explain who i am, have to wait the the guy, cause he is dealing with it :/ but he is busy right now. Ok. I guess. Hes done now. Lets size you up and then we will call you. Huh?!? Did i hear that right?!? We dont get to look at rings? Omg :(. So he sizes both of us up and takes our number and he will be ready monday. Wow. Well monday doesnt work for me, and we need to get our license on tuesday, so i guess wednesday lunch will be spent looking at rings. Thought they wanted all this stuff done right away?
Well i guess we can try out the place for my jewelry, since we now what color my dress will be. Walk in and tell the story. She shows me some choices and askes what cut my dress is.... Ahh crap.... I dunno... Sigh another no.... Garble garble. Well since we r down town, lets try and see if we can book the makeup and manicures.
Hard to find, no signage out or anything. Find the store in the building again no signage. Its closed, saying they will be back at 2:15. Its noon. Thats a heck of a lunch! I had already called them and left a message this morning too. And they havent called back.. Hmmm... Makes me wondering if they are even open at all today... And that makes me nervous. Well what a bust today was. Only got hair appointments done. Well and the ball started for everything else i guess.
Still seems very surreal. Like its just another day. And i am booked solid with grad appointment and such that its crazy. Working 8:30-9 every day this week. Wow. How am i ever foing to get anything done?
I guess we just keep trying.
James is doing really well. It appear to have very little effect on him. Maybe he wanted this more than even i knew??
Next day. Out of what the dress lady had in my size, and prize range, i had about 8 to pick from. Ended up picking three to try on. Found a good fit, very little alterations needed, which is good since i was told, they couldnt do it and i would have to pay it if was needed. Its cute too. Still seems weird. Lol. I wonder if it will sink in soon?
Turns out james' mom had her grandmother's or james' grandmother wedding ring in the SDB and was just waiting. She didnt want to pressure james. Awwww. Its very very nice. So we are using it as the engagement ring and as something old. Our tenant downstairs brought me something borrowed and something blue already too. And of i go with my new wedding ring, i will have something new something blue something borrowed and something old :). All in rings!!!
So much has changes in the last few days. Got most of the invites out, bit made a lot a phone calls too, just because we cant wait on canada post to make them on time all the time.
Wow, are we really getting married?
