98 Days Left! (So TheKnot tells me...)

Can you believe it?  We have barely three months left until chaos descends on a small village called Bronte.  Here are a few of the things we've accomplished recently:

1.  Updated the registry to now include towels and placemats and baking pans and a corningware casserole/roasting dish.  Sweet.  Got a little carried away and might have registered for chocolate, only to turn around and buy it ourselves.

2.  Talked to our dance studio about estimated pricing for bachelor/bachelorette party, and have pleasantly discovered it will NOT bankrupt us or our guests.  Present pricing looks to be about $25 a head for space rental and teachers.  We'll probably bring a party tray of sushi or two.  Yum.

3.  Nearly finalized both massive family turkey dinner and wedding reception catering - this is very, very good.  Now we just have to look into rentals.

4.  Bought a strapless bra (I love you, Change!) that doesn't make me a) look flat or b) feel really uncomfortable.  Just comfortably uncomfortable.  It's pretty and lacy and ivory.  Now all I need to do is finish the dress to go over it.  Which leads me to...

5.  Put the dress over the bought netting fabric on Kristina's judy.  Looks pretty good.  Next step is to make a mock-up of the underskirt(s) and decide on/find a lovely caramel-y coloured cotton gauze to go under it.

6.  Cashed in 2800 AirMiles to get $400 worth of gift certificates for VIARail.  We'll probably book the tickets asap after we get them.

7.  Are officially booked at the Waverley Inn in Halifax.  We still haven't bought our flights, but are on the lookout for a good deal (probably will fly Porter to Halifax, as soon as we know when exactly we're flying out).  We are also still figuring out if we can do a hosty drop-in thing in Nova Scotia for the family up there, but haven't heard from anyone offering the digs yet.

So I figure that isn't too bad, right?  Roger still has to get his suit, so that means Harry Rosen trip in the near future, and the invitations are in the works with a local Graphic Designer friend of mine who has good printer hook-ups, so that's soon to be completed as well.  All is fiiiine.
