The meeting with the pastor last night went very well. We discussed the ceremony mostly, everything from candles, to positioning of everyone, to where the receiving line will be. I decided that I wanted the receiving line after the ceremony. Apparently, that’s not really the way most people do it, most people have the receiving line as people arrive to the reception. But, I thought that everyone was supposed to be seated at the reception and then they announce the family and wedding party and we all walk in. That’s kind of how I envisioned it in my mind. So, I’m doing it my way ;) The receiving line will be limited to just the wedding party and parents, which is still 10 people, so I think that’s enough!
We also talked about vows and the wording of the service. We want a traditional service, so the pastor had 2 examples of wording, one I liked much better, except for the actual vows, I liked the other one better. So, I think we’re going to blend the two and use most from one and the vows from the other.
It feels so good to get a lot of the ceremony stuff taken care of! I also counted the pews so I know how many “pew decorations” to make. Not really sure what I’m going to do yet, something relatively inexpensive yet still nice looking. I’m thinking some nice ribbon bows or something.
The pastor wants to meet with us twice more before the wedding, once in late May to finalize the ceremony details and then once more in late June/early July as a little marital counseling type deal. He said that last meeting was option, but I think it’s a good idea. We would also give him our marriage license at that point so he can keep track of it for the big day (we’ll have enough to worry about that day!).
So, it went really well, I was quite pleased. Carlos and I both agreed that now that we’ve discussed the ceremony details, we wish the wedding was tomorrow instead of 5.5 months away! I’m sure that time will go by quickly though, hard to believe we’ve already been engaged for 4.5 months! Wow!
I have a meeting this afternoon with the MOE and a client, so I will be very relieved when that’s over. I don’t know why, but after 3 years in this job, I still get nervous before meetings. Not nearly as nervous as I used to get, but I still don’t like them all that much.
My poor little Smokey seems to be sick today. CT is going to take him to the vet. We think there may be something wrong with his digestive system/urinary track. He keeps squatting on the floor and meows loudly whenever we go near him. And he spent a half hour in the littler box this morning and didn’t do anything. I hope the little guy is okay!!!! I’m quite worried…

Oh I hope little Smokey is okay! All this pet food scare going on... but it sounds like a kidney stone or bladder infection to me though I'm certainly no doctor!
I'm glad the meeting with the pastor went well.
I should be up to you place say around 1? Is that good? Anything you want me to bring?
Ya, I'm quite worried. I hope it's nothing serious! He was absolutely fine last night and then this morning, there was obviously something wrong. I will post as soon as I know anything.
Sure, around 1 tomorrow sounds great! I can't think of anything you should bring, just your adorable and funny self is good enough for me! ;)
You're right, it is your day and do whatever you want! I think it's nice when people step out of the "norm". I don't know why some people feel the need to do things a certain way because that is what has been done traditionally.
I say, the more creative, the better! And people will remember it when they think back.
Hope Smokey is ok.
Hope Smokey is okay. I agree with Jen theat it sounds like it could be a stone of some kind, I'm sure the vet will be able to figure it out.
Speaking of animals. Jenny now drinks bottled water. Her fountain gets hard water deposits on it all the time, and it is a pain to clean, so we decided to switch to bottled water. I remember burger saying a while ago that bottled water is better for pets because hard water can cause stones (like what happened to Ally - right?)
