Well after a mini-freak out (calling 6 different places only to find that every person who I have found so far that might be able to be our official is BOOKED on our date-the horror!) I finally found someone who, though they have another wedding earlier in the day, is available to marry us on Oct. 3rd. I had just about everything else major figured out and this seemed to be the sticky point! He has another wedding at 3pm on our day, but we were thinking of having ours at 5:30 and it is a mere 4 miles from where his first wedding of the day is, so I think everything will be fine. We are meeting with him on Monday to discuss possible stuff to include in the ceremony and other questions we might have. Hopefully he works out! He seemed really nice over the phone-unlike many of the other officials I talked to that were semi-rude! YIKES! You would think if they were the person you may have leading the ceremony for your wedding that they would answer the phone in a much nicer way! But, this guy (Rev. Roger) was very warm and friendly on the phone and chuckled at my "jokes" about freaking out.....fingers crossed!
I also called and got the appointment to try on dresses at one of our local David's bridals. The dress I am eyeing may be in stock at the store, but if not it is a 12 week wait which would put my dress in on September 26th...a mere 7 days before my wedding....eeeekk! why would it take so long?????
All that aside, things are going pretty well. That's all for now!
Fewf - I'm glad you found someone to marry you that was nice! Are you guys going to write your own vows? I know its hard to remember in all the hoopla of planning (I am a culprit too), but the ceremony really is the most important part :)
ReplyDeleteDo you have a dj?
We are gonna talk to Rev. Roger about the ceremony. I think we are writing our own vows...makes it more personal. We are probably going to "design" the whole ceremony since we are not that "churchy" and are not sure how to make a ceremony that will feel right to us....I found some passages from literature that are about love that I like, and I want to have some sort of part where we honor our parents for raising us to be the adults that we are....not sure yet!!!! ahhhh!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have a DJ. Jim's cousin is in a band and he is supposed to get us a PA system that we can hook an Ipod up to, so hopefully that works out!!!!! Otherwise I think we are going to have to rent a PA system to hook our Ipod up to.
