Sorry I've been MIA the last 2 weeks. I've actually managed to squeeze in 3 job interviews, been offered a job and turned it down! We're down to less than 3 weeks until we leave for Mexico and 3 weeks today is our anniversary, and Joyce has told me not to panic! lol I have no idea why... Me? Panic? Not at all, except that life gets in the way and there just aren't enough hours in the day! Other than that, it's all good!

 

I'm still walking around with no wedding band. A bit of drama over that and they're now saying this Thursday. I thought it was so simple and that I wasn't asking a lot. I just wanted my wedding band properly sized, the guards removed, my new ring the right size and then solder all 3 together to make one ring. Not so simple. We went to pick it up and they still had it in 2 pieces, with the guards back on my wedding band! Not good. So they're trying again but it was supposed to be ready this past Saturday, then today and now Thursday. Uhh yep. Panic is setting in.

 

Dress fitting is this Saturday and I'm absolutely up for that. The weight I wanted off isn't. So I'm on the hunt for spanx. Yuck. I had to go shopping on the weekend for a strapless bra as if that wasn't bad enough! But it's done. The sides of the dress are see through so I really had to be careful what I got but hopefully it works. Guess we'll soon find out.

 

I have all of my bags, my jewellery, blue shoes, chair sashes and tablecloth and a couple of other bits and pieces at our son's in the US but getting a visit scheduled to pick it all up has been more drama. I wanted so much to try to get the trailer out for the thanksgiving weekend just for a rest up before the madness but that fell through and we are now going to the US and attending birthday parties for a to be 9 yr old and a to be 5 yr old. Oh joy. I love my grandsons to death and could squeeze them til they pop if they'd let me but when it comes to their birthday parties.... step aside and get out of the way. They're boys after all and rowdy just does not begin to describe it! Thankfully it's only for 2 of the days of the long weekend and we get to be home for the holiday. Peace and quiet. And packing, and guest bags, and whatever else needs to get done. And then we'll be 6 days from leaving!

 

I ordered a few things from Etsy that finally arrived. I found a garter shop that intrigued me and here is the result. Doubt I'll get to wear it under my dress since the colours are so bright but that's ok.... there is always the nighttime..... lol

 

 

Our cake top arrived too. I had to leave it wrapped otherwise I'll never get it re-wrapped so I don't know if you can make out the details. But I absolutely LOVE it!! It's absolutely what I wanted and definitely so Doug and I. We're only (hopefully) about 5 years from retiring so this cake top is all about us. Sorry the pics are so bad but it's hard to get them through the cellophane that they're wrapped in.

 

One chair with pink flip flops

 

Second chair with brown flip flops

 

The bottle of beer and glass of wine.

 

The Etsy seller even include a bit of glue to stick the bottle of beer and glass of wine to their respective chairs and the flip flops get put right beside the chairs once it's unwrapped.

 

I also found some coloured paper straws. I found a website called Weddingstar. For those of us in Canada, they're located in Alberta so you pay Canadian shipping and prices. They've got a pretty decent sale and if you're looking for BM or GM gifts they have a couple of ideas, along with the usual cake top stuff and a few reception accessories.

 

 

Looking forward to the GTA ladies night on Friday! We'll have @@snswedding2016 back from Azul Fives and @@diadiamond back from her Cuba wedding so lots to talk about. And that's it for now except I need to get my butt in gear and get my printing done of our beautiful menus, the door hangers and my bag toppers. Like I said - not enough hours in the day....

Wow, everything is coming together and looks amazing! I am so impressed with your cake topper! It will be amazing! I have 1 week left before we leave, 2 weeks before the wedding and I am in panic mode!!

 

Like you not enough hours in the day!

 

Your life sounds hectic at the moment. Congrats on the job front even though you turned it down

 

Have fun at your GTA ladies night xx
