Man, am I tired?!

Well, I've gotten a little slack about updating on here. I apologize! Life is chaotic to say the least at the moment. I'm sure it will be until the end of summer with everything that is coming up!

By now, I hope everyone has booked their hotel. I had some big problems with the Best Western in Latta. Apparently, whoever I talked to failed to write down my information and therefore it was not put into the system the "Cox-Talty Wedding". I AM SO SORRY! This is the 2nd time this has happened. I was very upset with these people. I found out about it 2 days before the last day to book at the hotel was...so basically people only had 2 days to call in and book that hotel (with limited amount of rooms available) to get the special rate. They really boiled my blood. Well, I learned to ALWAYS get the name of the person that I am talking to incase anything like this should happen. SO again, I apologize. I guess I should have checked on things earlier but I didn't know to. =(

So Wedding news: My soloist had to quit on me. Which stinks because I always wanted him to sing at my wedding but his he had to drop for medical reasons dealing with his voice. But not to worry, becuase remember I said I had a list of people who wanted/could sing? So my Uncle Roger is stepping up and is going to sing! He's got a great voice so I'm excited! My dad and my uncle (not my dad's bro) will be singing in our wedding!!

Cakes! I've spoken to Mrs. Frances who is making our wedding cake and sent her pictures of the shape and desigs we want on the cake. I'm so excited to see the outcome of the cake!! It's a pity we have to cut it! It REALLY will be a pity to cut Brendan's groom's cake which is a total surprise! I can't wait! But that's all I'm going to say about that!

Decorations! Not sure really how they are going to look but I talked to Valerie (the lady at our reception site) and told her what I wanted and what I didn't want. We arranged to tables to be reserved for family since family will be getting to the reception a little later due to pictures after the wedding. We also have a head table for the wedding party which will hold 17 peeps. WOW! Didn't know we had that many!!

Dresses! Ohhhh la la. My amazing bridesmaid's dresses came in this week and I went straight to the bridal shop to see them! They are beautiful. I am very pleased. I just want to see them on someone! When we tried it on, it wasn't really the right dress and it also was not the right color. So I'm anxious to see it on. The only bad thing I can see with the dresses, is that they are a bit long! They're supposed to be tea length and on fun-sized aka short gals, they are a bit long! Almost to the ankles long so they will need to be altered! But other than that, I love them and I hope the girls will too!!!

Payments: To everyone- CHECK. Well, except for our musicians, but like church, flowers, honeymoon, photographer...all that CHECK! :o)

I think this may be all of the wedding updates that I currently have for the time being. Next weekend we are travelling to Virginia for one of Brendan's groomsman's wedding. He's got 2 groomsmen getting married back to back right before our wedding. Crazy, eh? I'm excited to travel next weekend but I know I am going to be plumb tired! This is the last week of school so I am currently shutting down classroom and packing it all up! Brendan and I went yesterday to load my car down with more stuff. So now all I have to get is the small stuff which I know my car will be loaded down for the umpteenth time! How in the world I acquired this much stuff in 2 years is beyond me!!

Ok, well, only 20 more days to go! I can't wait to see everyone. Hopefully, I won't be a blubbering mess and will get to see everyone. I am NOT a cute cryer so lets cross our fingers and say some prayers that Jenn will not be a blubbering mess walking down the aisle. haha

See ya soon!
