maybe a meltdown

First I have to thank Alice for calling me at 7am after I sent her a text saying that I NEEDED her to call me. After a mini meltdown, I got my ass together, counted up the number of each entree to take to Celebrations. 21 Capon, 80 filet, and 16 Veggie Pyramids. I was all good! Sure there was a lump in my throat that we were going to pay the remaining balance for the wedding BUT I sucked it up. I picked Dan up from work and we were on our way to Celebrations to tie up all the loose ends.
Now, a few months ago, I called Celebrations and asked them to fax me a copy of their floor plan when I was getting replies back in the mail. Everything was fine! Now, when I get to look at the seating chart they have for the CORRECT ballroom, they only have 10 tables. The other one half double that amount, mainly b/c it hold like 300 people. I understood the mistake but was kinda fuming inside.
I am not sitting here and have no effing idea where to put some people. I know people do not sit a lot at weddings but this is killing me! I am trying to be nice and sit people with other people they know. I am about to close my eyes and shuffle this shit up. Friends are no issue. They all get along BUT family... c'mon! One will not sit with the other. Let some one bitch... I might kick someone's ass...

these dreams...

As I get closer to the wedding, I keep having very strange dreams and sometimes nightmares. The other night, it was a pretty awesome dream. Let me let you in on one thing- I am rereading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. In the dream, we are at the ceremony outside and everything is beautiful! I look outside of the limo and my ushers were the Dementors from Harry Potter...
In the dream, they are not the soul sucking, sadness bringing figures you read in the books. They are pretty pleasant but end up freaking the guests out that have never ready the book (or saw the movie). Overall, the dream was not bad! Much better than the nightmares I have been having!!

Honeymoon Insanity....

If you didn't know, Dan and I are heading to Europe for our honeymoon. When we first booked everything, we were going to be leaving the day after the wedding (aug. 30) and coming back on 9/11 (nice day to fly, right?). A few months ago, a lady from the travel agency called. She informed us that our Travel Agent, Christine, was out due to an illness in that family. She gave us news that b/c of the "economy" our tour got axed and we were getting moved to the next tour, which leaves on 9/2. That would get us back on 9/13, which meant we were missing Dan's cousin, Melissa's, wedding. After talking to Mel and knowing she was fine with it, we decided to go along with this tour. I was overly angry b/c I have to go back to work the next day (9/14) but would suck it up anyway. The great thing about the change was we would have non-stop flights both ways!! A few weeks ago, I get a notice from the travel agent that our returning flight had been changed. US Air does not fly from one of the airports straight to Phila anymore... GREAT! This gave us a layover for 2 hours and would not get home until like 8pm that night. I was livid. Dan called and spoke to Christine, because she was back at work. He basically told her how unhappy we both were and she expressed how she felt bad about the whole tour getting switched and flight craziness. She told Dan to give her a few days to see what she can do. Fast forward til Tuesday- she called and said that we now have a non-stop from Hethrow to Phila! We leave there at 1:05 and get home at 4:20 (our time)...
To make a long story short, it was not Christine's fault all this happened. It was the tour people and the damn airlines! All I am saying is that after all this madness, the honeymoon better be worth it!!!

thoughts...

So.... 24 days left until the BIG day! The countdown is really kicking in. I have been trying to work out and eat right. I have to go pick up my dress next week! I got myself a new pair of Spanx for under the dress to suck in all the "stuff". I spoke to the DJ yesterday and I plan to meet with him to make sure everything is ready to go. Dan and I have to go to Celebrations on the 17th to hand over all our money, finalize the dinners, appetizers, and find out who will be the "captain" of our wedding. We also have to go and check with the bakery for the cake. It is getting there!! I am so excited to see the girls in their dresses and the guys in their tuxs!!
