OMG. leaving in 5 days. and 3 people just cancelled!! That really messes with my life right now, I need to re-do the seating chart and move some other people around now, grrrrrrrrrr. No fault of theirs, Ant's cousin dislocated his shoulder and now has to go in for surgery, so his wife doesn't feel right coming without him. and his grandmother was coming b/c she couldn't stay home alone while they came, so she is bailing too. such a giant pain in my a** right now

never mind that. leaving in FIVE days!! so much to do still, mostly just packing. Once I get that organized, I will feel better.

Right now, i'm stressing about writing our my daughter's schedule for my parents, as they are flying back with her and staying at our place while we honeymoon. It's funny how all the things us moms do are just second nature, but when you write it all down....sheesh we are underpaid!!!

I will try to do a review ASAP, but it may not get done until after your wedding.

I just joined it! Did I see you used wish lanterns? How did that turn out for you? I guess it really depends on the wind, but we are planning on doing them the night of our Welcome Drinks.

Which cake flavor(s) did you have? How long did dinner take for your group? What did you provide for the DJ (CD, iPOD) for music for the ceremony? So many last minute details to comb through! I leave in 4 days!

We used wish lanterns. They worked really well. Nicole was with us helping everyone to do them. It really depends on the wind. Hours earlier it was too windy but when we were scheduled to do them the wind was perfectly calm.

We had vanilla and chocolate. They both tasted great. Dinner was slow (not sure of the timing - maybe 1 1/2 hours), but we did speeches, we had the DJ playing music, and people were chatting by the bar. We hired DJ Kevan and he really knows what he is doing. We just provided him a list of MUST PLAY and MUST NOT PLAY. We also met with him a couple days prior. What are you planning for your reception? How exciting that you are getting married sooo soon!!!
