Dum, dum, de-dum...

First off, I'm totally recycling these photos because my laptop and I have decided to take a break from each other. Actually, my laptop decided it needed a vacation and left me stranded and alone. Thank God I have B to fall back on or I don't know what I would do. Its not you, its me, but I hope we can still be friends.

These bouquet shots were from the engagement shoot. Actually, I took these with the bouquet from the shoot. The last shot from the lovely Adrienne.




Things are a changing 'round here! Last minute details. Family coming in. Food to be eaten. Places to go. People to see. I still have things to do on my knot checklist.

Lets talk bouquets for a moment. I have to admit that I'm really not a bouquet catcher. When the bride tosses the bouquet I usually look for the bar and try to sneak out quietly before she starts. I know. I'm sorry. So, when it came to my own wedding I took stalk of the single ladies out there. Was anyone going to miss this? I decided I wasn't going to do it.

I decided I would do a bouquet presentation instead. We were going to have all the married couples get up to dance and then the DJ would start narrowing down the couples during the song. "Will all the couples who have been married for less than a year sit down" until the last couple is standing and we all applaud. Then we were going to mention that there was a couple who has actually been married for over 69 years!

B's grandparents (Poh poh and Gung gung) have been married for 69 years, can you believe that?! We were going to present them with the bouquet and tell them how much we love and appreciate them. Unfortunately, B's grandpa fell ill this past weekend and has been admitted to the hospital. They won't be able to make the trip down for the wedding and we will miss having them there.

Please keep Gung gung in your prayers.



What else? I still don't have:
-underwear (I'm just keeping it real here. I mean, I own underwear but not pretty wedding ones)
-escort cards (we had some formatting issues)
-the cranes (they should get here FRIDAY- good Lord that is cutting it close)
-a cantor (ours had a death in the family)
and

-MY DRESS.... to be picked up later today... I hope...




Besides being exhausted, I am thoroughly excited. We have family coming in from Puerto Rico today and friends coming in from Sacramento tonight. Tomorrow we'll be dropping things at hotels, wiping our sweaty palms on our pants, smiling, sweating, crying, clapping, laughing, eating, talking and generally running in circles.

I'm not nervous, I'm anxious. There is not a doubt in my mind that B is the man for me. Whatever life brings us, we can tackle it. Last night I thought of the moment I knew I was going to marry B. It was the day I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I wrote about it in 3 parts, the last being the diagnosis. You can read the first one here.

When I look back at that day, I smile. How odd is that? What a great gift he has given me.

3 days until all B's dreams come true..... I mean, until all my dreams come true....
