I work in marketing and public relations for a bank, and unless the FED closes banks, we have to stay open.
Also, supposed to be getting married with 40 guests Friday. If the governor shuts down restaurants and bars we lose our location. We’ve already decided to get married in our living room if we have to. Sincerely hope it doesn’t come to that but not willing to risk anyone’s health.
My grandparents officially cancelled coming to our wedding. They’re too old and too compromised to even risk it. I cried. It’s their anniversary and this was going to be a celebration of their marriage too. But we don’t want them risking their health for our wedding. But I’m drinking a lot tonight.
@Copa – what do you think the chances are she wont’ sit around at my wedding talking about her wedding? ALSO – WHO CARES!
Now I’m worried a global pandemic is going to get our elderly guests sick.
Ale – 2 years might be generous.
@Copa – my thoughts exactly. She actually said to me “You can do what you want – I just dont’ want you standing around at my wedding talking about your honeymoon”. Because that’s exactly what I would have done?
Every destination wedding I’ve been to turned into a personal vacation. You want me to use my vacation time and money to be there? I’m gonna do some stuff I want to do. And with wedding and that trip in one year, we simply have to do what’s affordable.
We aren’t livestreaming but we’ll have a videographer and Id be happy to share the highlight video afterward 🙂
lol @Ange we can’t go on the Honeymoon until May – after sister’s wedding. Surprisingly she hasn’t been too bad lately but we’ve also not communicated with her a whole lot. Everything is pretty much done at this point except writing the check. And MofV claims the vows are “in his head” so I’m hoping at some point they get down on paper too lol.
MofV’s parents asked if they paid for our plane tickets to sisters wedding if we’d stay longer in FL (we plan on making it into a road trip) and we declined because we’d already made plans to leave for a honeymoon the day after her wedding and we’re not telling his family because of the fit she would throw. (Because the one time I mentioned leaving for our honeymoon after her wedding to consolidate the travel she was highly offended that the focus of the trip wasn’t 100% her wedding).
9 days out from wedding. People keep asking if I’m excited. Why, yes, I am. However, we’ve reached the point where I just want to do the damn thing and be married already. And eat the brunch and wear the dress.
Anyone else reach the point of LET’S JUST FUCKING DO THIS ALREADY before their wedding?
@copa how was Lumineers???
Our shower was great and we came home with a huge variety of alcohol. Anyone ever had peanut butter whiskey? Because we have a bottle now and no idea what to do with it lol. Also some fancy gin and a case of truly’s from MofV’s guy friends that I’m more likely to drink.
Yesterday the Midwest had a heat wave (60 degrees) so we took our dog for a two mile walk and then to the pita pit for lunch on the patio. She was pretty exhausted after a long walk and slept/snored the rest of the day.
Our fun date this weekend is our couples shower/stock the bar party! I have a friend driving almost four hours to come. And MofV’s sister is going to come – so that should be interesting. But we get to dress up and have wine and beer so I’m calling it a date!
First dates are job interviews with cocktails. Have fun, be yourself and try not to stress too much!
And my dog likes to go pee around 5 am each morning. She tried to talk me into a 3 am the other night and we agreed 5 am was more reasonable.
Thanks friends 🙂
Hfantods – we will be driving from the Midwest which might be a nightmare but Niagra is the general area. And you’re speaking my language with wine here….
ktfran – we’d love a walking ghost tour, that sounds fun.
hfantods – I know zero about Canada in general so i’ll take all the help and advice I can get. Always wanted to go, just haven’t done the research.
Dress pics in link – keep in mind I was by myself so I had to take my picture in a mirror and I’m also not wearing the body tape that I will be on wedding day to keep my bosoms in place and a little higher. But once she finishes the hem I get to take it home!
Cleo – thinking of going to the falls I think? Lake Ontario area I believe -so feel free to hit me with your reccs!
Just requested a visitors Guide from Savannah because I’m old school. And yes, hfantods, less than 40 days to go so I alternate between really excited and breathing into a paper bag lol. Had a final dress fitting yesterday and super excited. If anyone wants to see it I’ll share 🙂
This weekend is one of our last free weekends until the wedding so we are packing it with togetherness lol. Friday night is a couples workout and social at the gym, having dinner Saturday night at the place we ate at right before MofV proposed and Sunday we are going to a trampoline park and being super careful not to break our ankles lol. We also get our bonuses on Friday so we are making final wedding payments and throwing the rest of it in savings and at a new roof. Adulting is not fun.
Also we may have narrowed our Honeymoon plan to Savannah GA since it’s within driving distance of his sister’s wedding. And one of his groomsmen and wife invited us to join them on a vacation to Canada in August so we might spend some time doing research on that.
