Wedding Trivia 1/30-2/9

I had a few moments of complete panic in the last week, but all has been resolved so I'm feeling much more stable. Because of some scheduling problems and because my mom decided that we should have the mocha grande wedding of our dreams (mostly so she could invite everyone she wants but also because she wants me to be happy), I suddenly had no firm date or location of for the whole deal. Much freaking out. And frantic calling. And firm decision making (no, the date of the wedding is staying put, other things will have to change.) At the end of it, I'd booked the most wonderful reception site in the world, which I called out of desperation, not actually believing that they rented the place out.

I also found undergarments for the dress for much less than I was expecting and my mom and I had a funny little conversation in the lingerie store:

Momma: "So, do you have a nightgown yet?"
Me: "No, I don't have any of that stuff."

A few minutes later as I'm browsing through a rack...

Me: "I will need suitable undergarments"
Momma, with a note of panic: "But you'll need to pick those out by yourself!"
Me: "I meant for the dress."
Momma: relieved sigh

And, his mother got us a photographer, a friend of the family who is an actual wedding photographer, who's doing it as a favor/wedding present.

I may have found bridesmaids dresses, but a size check is in progress.

Whew!
