Still no dress...and other fun things

So today my dress is 26 days late but who is counting! I also got my sample mugs in the mail from discountmugs.com. They are actually much better quality than I expected and I am just trying to decide between the black or the clear mug. DFH doesn't think that any of his friends and family drinks chocolate or tea but he has no suggestions for a better favor so I can't conceive of something else. I was thinking about putting a 1 liner on the mug plus our name and wedding date.

I have not been able to make it to Ikea to explore decorations options although I want to go so badly! I have given myself until August 17 to get decorations finalized so I will have something soon...I promise. As of now, I have hired pretty much every vendor that I need except for the coordinator and the limo. What I am really needing to do is to shop for stuff on my list of things to buy. So I am going to need all of you to make sure we are shopping for something everytime we make a date during the next month ;-)

Work is still really busy and I can't see a light in the end of the tunnel but we have a new consultant so maybe that will smooth things out a bit.

Invitations are ready!

It took 6 people and 3 hours but the invitations are all stuffed and ready to go ;-) Special thanks for Adaobi, Ebony, Kristen, Thalia and Tyana for the manpower and to Kristen for feeding us (like I said before, I love food at the Kris' house). It took so much time because I couldn't figure out for the life of me how to coordinate the assembly line...so needless to say, I am not a good person to coordinate this type of stuff. I also realized that I made a mistake on the invitation with the number for the church I put 900 instead of 1009 which puts you like a block...but I fixed it on the directions to the church so follow those instead of the address on the invitation. At the very least the people who read this board should make it to the church!

I stayed in Brooklyn last night and today I was able to choose my "something borrowed" out of my aunt's jewelry box, I am soo excited...its a fabulous bracelet! Now all I need is some great gold and diamond earings and my wedding jewelry will be complete.

This week I will go to Ikea after work to see about more options for the centerpieces. I am going to MA next weekend for a wedding so I don't expect to get much done before the month is out. I do need to call the wedding coordinator that Leticia recommended and make sure I get her on board to coordinate the rehearsal and the ceremony. I would hate to be that bride looking crazy at my rehearsal so I think is best that I hire some professional help. That's all for now.

In California

Just in case you are wondering why the blog hasn't been updated this week, I am in California for training. I am supposed to take the red-eye back home tomorrow but Jetblue is not sure if the flight is on or if it is cancelled. I am supposed to do invitations on Saturday so hopefully I can get on a flight tomorrow night. Iwill be calling Bridal Elegance again tomorrow to find out what's good with my dress though ;-)
