Nightmares

All along through the planning I've had dreams about the wedding, but lately they're turning into nightmares. Not your scary vampire type, but more that anything that could go wrong, does. Last night's dream revolved around nothing being planned for the morning of the wedding. I didn't have a hair appointment, the photographers didn't know when to show up, I didn't even have my dress altered! The guests were hanging out in the hotel instead of going to the church, my bridesmaids couldn't find me, it was just a mess. I certainly hope the morning of the morning of the wedding is nothing like that dream!

So wedding related updates - the invitations are finished and will be going out this week. I am so excited for everyone to receive them and I can't wait to get the reply cards back!

This Sunday we have a family reunion with my Dad's side. I'm sure there will be a lot of talk about the wedding since the last time we all got together we had only been engaged for a couple of months and nothing was planned yet. I'm looking forward to it!

My bridal shower has been planned for the end of next month. My Dad's cousin Claudette was kind enough to offer her house to us, which was so nice of her. I hope we have a good time, although I get a little uncomfortable being the center of attention.

So that's the update! We have another meeting soon with the priest to plan our wedding liturgy, but that means Pat and I have to choose the readings first. We also have to figure out readers, Eucharistic ministers and someone for our music! Still so much to do for the ceremony!

Last night Pat and I met with Father Murray again to go over our FOCCUS test results. I'm pleased to report that our scores were exceptionally high! We need to set up another meeting with him in about a month to plan the wedding liturgy. We're still hoping that Father Bob can marry us, but he won't know until early August what his schedule looks like.

I am knee deep in invitation land these days. I love how they're turning out, I just have a few more kinks to figure out. I can't wait to send them out so everyone can see them!

There is so much I want to talk about here, but I don't want to give everything away just yet!
