When BFE decided that she would indeed have a celebration with her exchange of wedding vows, we had 13 days to pull everything together. That was Saturday night. Two and a half days later we had manage to:
A reserve location to be married (beautiful overlook)
B. reserve location to have reception (stone pavilion that accommodates 100 people)
C. confirm Pastor’s availability
D. Get the menu and decorations planned
E. Get the invitations done – although she already called everyone to give them a “heads up”
F. Plan to find appropriate flowers.
G. Think about dresses.
Lots of work yet to be done, but we’ve got a couple of things in our favor.
A. I’m good a planning. BFE is good at doing stuff last minute. A better team couldn’t have been formed for such a situation.
B. BFE’s fiancce knows to leave well enough alone and just do as told (good advice for any groom to be!)
C. BFE has a best friend (me) who will do everything in her power to make this the day BFE wants.
D. We know we can do it. And really, that means A, B and C are just extras.
So please excuse me (while I kiss the sky…oops didn’t mean to break in to song) for the next 10 days (yep 10 days and counting) while I spend all my free time (aka break from work day) internet searching for farmer’s markets and recipes (for a few other things), and drawing up plans for all other things that need doing. We've got a wedding to put on!
