In my last wedding related post I was
uber excited that we'd gotten a date and time for our ceremony. Well last night after talking to Mr. D's family we're having second thought. Our ceremony is to take place at 7:30, last about 45 minutes, pictures afterwards, then a cocktail hour, then food then dancing.... meaning the food
wouldnt be until about 11pm.... which is super late and
doesnt leave much time for dancing. His aunt is saying we either need to find another church that can do it earlier (ours only offers 4:30 or 7:30
because they have confession and mass in between and 4:30 was already taken) or X the church.... find a priest
that'll do it at the venue and save the $900 they're charging us. Also, when we were there
no one could tell us how much the music would cost (not included in that $900), so I emailed the music director to find out it's another $300...so now we're up to $1200....
Mr. D is almost all but convinced that we
should just have the ceremony at the venue. My only concern is that "walking down the aisle" feel. Am I willing to give that up? Other than saying "I do" that walk is HUGE! Walking through those doors up the aisle to the alter, standing before God.... I just
dont know. I hate how I make a decision and
then people have advice! Why
didnt they mention all of that before we drove 4 hours to Miami and gave a 50% deposit!? Now his dad is going to talk to a priest they know, and we'll go fro there. But what do you think I should do??
If your a DIY type bride then you should definately check out your local Ikea... I went there today (before Old Navy lol) and found some greatdeals on vase and pots, perfect for centerpieces and just plain decor!
I was driving home in the rain listening to the radio, when they announced that he had died of cardiac arrest. His musical contribution to to our lives will be missed and my prayers go out to his family and children. Regardless of everything, at the end of the day he was EXTREMELY talented and that's something that cannot be denied. With that I leave you with my favorite Michael Jackson Video:
The closing we didnt do yesterday was rescheduled to today and we closed this afternoon!! Mr. D and I are now homeowners!!! I cried lol. His mom is paying for a cleaning lady to clean, his father is paying for the Stanley Steemers to clean all the floors, we purchased our fire proof safe for our mortgage docs, and tomorrow the water, power and our Brand New Whirlpool Washer and Dryer are being delivered.... My God is an awesome God :) So now that that's out the way its full blast wedding planning!! Oh and my camera came back from Casio so now I'll be able to upload photos! (that's why they're all been photos from the web lately lol) Stand by!! Wedding Planned or Bust!
