Holy Crap!! We started this blog like half a year ago and this is my first post (Liz please don’t kill me)
Anyway, its been a while since our last update but guess there wasn’t much to report….until now *dun dun dun…*
So here is what we’ve done since the last update.
- The videographer is booked.
- The wedding officiant we are considering has a pretty interesting back ground. Apparently he does TV shows and commercials. His website has his filmography and it said he’s been on Smallville (that’s pretty freaken cool)...I hope he really is a officiant and not just an actor playing an officiant cause it would suck to find out on the day of our wedding. Anyway we are meeting with him tomorrow night for a little chat and if all goes well, we’ll be booking him.
- We’ve finally started putting together the origami blossoms. I think it looks pretty good…but that maybe because I made them. I will post some pictures of it tomorrow or something.
- We started making the wine. It’s a 6 week wine and we started it in the beginning of January so it should be ready to bottle sometime this week. We’ll let you know if there are any interesting stories to tell about that and if there isn’t, I will make something up.
- Cars, cars, cars. I think this is only topic I had full control over. And by full control I mean if I wanted to get married in a 1986 Datsun Liz will say “ok” (well, probably not but you get my point). So I have been doing a lot of research and I have been trying to find a place that rents out Mercedes. Particularly the CLS550 or S550. If you don’t know why they look like go check it out. I think the S550 would look better as a wedding car but I love the CLS550. I asked around and looked online and found several places where I can rent Mercedes and other exotic cars: VIP Rental, Platinum Car Rental, the place in Richmond on No.3 Road. Turns out they are all one and the same. Only place in the lower mainland to rent nice cars (other than BMWs) is that stupid place in Richmond on No.3 Road and they don’t have anything suitable for a wedding. So I started looking at BMWs but a 7 series is going for $2000/day. That’s like 3 months rent for an apartment for one day on a car WTF!!! That’s just as bad, if not worst than buying a Ferrari (Ferrari=$300,000 House=$300,000). Needless to say, we are not spending that much money on a stupid car for one day so we are going with a SUV limo. It works out better anyway. We don’t have to worry about fighting through traffic, find parking space or losing any of the wedding party. It was a good decision….*sigh*…I think Liz secretly knew that it would be impossible to rent a nice car.
- We still only have a whopping 4 items on the gift registry and one of which I have to remove because my mom has an extra one she wants me to take. I guess this is something we need to work on.
- Flowers are ‘picked” out. Ok that was lame. We went to the nursery and florist place on King George and they were very helpful in helping us pick out what flowers to use in the bouquets and boutiner. The only bad think is we can’t pick up the flowers until 8:30 the morning of the wedding.
- And last but not least, Liz’s dress. She finally made a decision on one and we bought it today…well actually I bought it. I went with her to the bridal store this morning and sat in the waiting area until I was needed. At that point whipped out the credit card, closed my eyes and signed the receipt. I have no idea what he dress looks like but that’s ok. I want to be surprised anyway.
So that pretty much sums up what’s been going on the last 2 months (actually most of this happened in the last 2 weeks).
134 days….wow we are about a month away form the count down being 2 digits…yikes!
