It will last for about twenty minutes... the calm before the storm. This is the time that I get to enjoy my cup(s) of coffee before heading off to get ready for work, wedding madness, and a life of wedded bliss.
heh... nothing like being overly dramatic!
The backyard is mostly done. All that is left is to water daily, put up the lights, move the beehive and do the final decorations. There is nothing more to be done to turn it into the 'wedding wonderland' that I had envisioned. I didn't achieve the 'wedding wonderland' but it will be fine. Actually, it'll be more than fine - it was a labor of love. Gary sowed the grass seeds there, investing himself in our future. The back yard is where he asked me to marry him. And we have spent many pleasant times watching the dogs romp in the grass, watching the birds eat my fruit, and watching the busy bees come and go.
My plans for the rest of the house didn't come to fruition. The flooring that I ordered was late--- then was not what I wanted (but yes, it was what I ordered). I returned it and ordered different flooring. That won't get here in time to install it. So, it will be the same old carpet that has seen better days. I did buy runners and put them down. They look okay --- bottom line is that if people know me, they know of my carpet/ flooring woes!
We've got a minister, the marriage license, a groom and a bride. I talked with the caterer yesterday and upped the count significantly, (25%). They can make the space work and that was my biggest worry. My dress is done, just waiting to be picked up, reservations are made for the wedding eve and wedding night and honeymoon. Wedding musician has the playlist and is busy arranging the music that I want for the processional. The beer is ready and is in the beer freezer, parents are flying in starting this weekend. The leis have been ordered and will be beautiful. I still have to finish off the centerpieces, seating cards, sign-in mat and table and the wedding favors. I'll be off the next two weeks and should be able to make progress in that area. AND, I have some wonderful friends who have offered their services to help right before the wedding! Kimela and Jaime are going to help with the lights and Diane has put herself at my disposal the day before the wedding.
Whew! I think that I'll just sit back for a few more minutes, pet the doggie who is sitting on my lap, and sip at my coffee...\
