The countdown to the wedding continues, and as of today, it’s exactly 100 days! Getting closer! Tomorrow we’ll be in the double digits!
Things I’m working on currently for the wedding:
1. Compiling mailing addresses and getting the ones I’m missing.
2. Get map and reception card finished and printed out.
3. Address invitations - mom is helping me the weekend of June 23. We want to hand address them, so between the 2 of us, I figure it will take an afternoon.
4. Week of June 25 – invitations go out, provided we get them all addressed the weekend prior!
5. Transportation for the big day. I looked into getting a limo, and it would be $450 for the 2 hours we’d need it. So, I think that’s a little expensive. I’m thinking of renting a mini-van - we can get one for the whole weekend (Friday to Monday) for $150. That way, we’d have a nice, clean vehicle for the wedding party to ride in to the reception. I think that would also be good because I can pack it up with all the centerpiece stuff and other things for the reception venue for when we go to decorate it the night before the wedding. So, that’s what I’m leaning towards.
6. Ceremony music – still need to meet with the musician… I would like to do that before the end of June, if possible.
7. Ceremony readings – I have someone in mind to do the readings, I just need to ask him. I think my mom already mentioned it to him, so he knows it’s coming.
I think that’s it for now; that’s enough to keep me busy for June in terms of wedding stuff. And we still have more we want to do at the house. And we have a wedding to go to on the 9th. So, it looks like it will be a very busy month!
I am looking forward to Saturday; looks like it’s going to be a gorgeous day to go to the zoo! Very excited; I haven’t seen lj since February! And it will be the last time I see nej before Goose Bay! Should be a great day.

Oh, I've been meaning to ask you for ages - I have volentold Arash to help with pictures on the day of the wedding if you want him. Since the men and ladies will be getting ready in places far away from each other and I'm not sure what you have agreed to with your photographer (sarahs did three locations, not sure what your's is doing). Anywho, offer is out there. we are the "photographers" for my dad's wedding, so I think we are going to get a nice portrait lens before then.
Cool, that sounds great. My photographer is going to do: the bridal party preparations at my parents house before the ceremony, the ceremony, the formal pictures at the reception location (prior to the start of the reception), and the reception. I think he goes up to an hour after the first dance or something like that.
It would be great if Arash took some extra ones as well; the more, the better!
