*yawn* I didn't get home until 11pm last night. Couple that with the awful sleep I've been getting lately and I'm one tired cuckoo. Went to Pat's house (my volunteer wedding coordinator) to work on wedding day schedules (when people need to get there, list of things to be done and in what order, when the vendors are showing up, how people will walk in/out for the ceremony, etc.). When I left the house, I thought, 2-3 hours would do it. Over four hours later, I was on my way back home. *sigh* I suppose we got a fair amount of loose ends tied up and details worked out though.
I got my trim yesterday as well. It's very narrow. I'm skeptical on how well it's going to work, but it's so pretty! I'm wondering if I could put it on something just a bit wider perhaps (like 1/2" wider) and make it look a little bigger. I don't know, we'll see. I'll just have to play with it after the wedding and see what I can do.
Today I ordered the buttons, cording and some lovely hand dyed silk ribbon from M&J to finish up the embellishments on the wedding gown. I want to try to have everything ready for that stuff by the time it gets here (in other words, finish up the beading and get the trims on the gown). Since they only use UPS, it'll be at least a week. I still need buttons, snaps and buckles for the vests. I'll probably run to Handcock's tomorrow or something. On the lookout for some fabric to drape off the mantles, too. Otherwise, I'll be stuck with the horrid looking pale yellow table runners Pat and Martha had planned to use. Oh, and a shirt for the ring bearer. I'm thinking anything I need to order should be done this week, just in case, you know, shipping snafus.
I keep forgetting to size our fingers for wedding rings. My sizer is at home, but I always think to order rings at work. The plan is to buy sterling silver ones for now (since the ones I want only come in silver or yellow gold). Then, after the wedding, I'll start working with metalsmithing and get some white gold bezel and remake them. Might be 6 months before I feel comfortable doing it, but at least we'll have the rings we want, and even better, they'll be made by me. I'm not sure why the jeweler doesn't work in white gold, but she doesn't. And that way, we can take all the "artsy" rings on the hands pictures and you really won't be able to tell they're not the finals (since they'll look exactly the same).
Oh, and Maggie, you'll be happy to know, we're actually going to do the "To a whale of a wife" groom's cake, complete with Sunday Best Homer and Marge figures on top. Marge is on the way and the Homer auction ends this week (*fingers crossed*). I found a screen cap, I just need to meet with our baker again and make sure she can do it (I'm sure she can though).
