My man and I met at a summer camp and have been inseperable ever since. He proposed in August of 06 and we are to be married in August of 08. I'm attempting to do this on a low budget in the most laid back way possible, but only time will tell how it really ends up.

39 days to go...

Posted Tuesday, June 24, 2008 8:40 AM

We had dinner with M's parents last night to discuss the rehearsal dinner. I was nervous that the crazy-angry-yelly E would show up, but I found the perfect solution that enabled me to discuss the rehearsal dinner like an adult... beer. Just one, but

Back on the list it goes

Posted Thursday, June 19, 2008 10:50 AM

So M's mom e-mailed me again today re: the rehearsal dinner. I guess M's Aunt isn't planning it, which means I am... oh goodie.... at least his parent's picked the food place I liked best, but they want to tote the catered food to the park an hour and

Take that one off my list

Posted Tuesday, June 17, 2008 4:18 PM

So after that stressing all day about the weird e-mail from M's mom re: the rehearsal dinner, M's mom called him. She was a lot nicer to him in the phone call than to me in the e-mail (and nice about me, maybe I caught her at a bad time?) Any way, from

Stress is setting in

Posted Monday, June 16, 2008 3:37 PM

Well, aside from parents in general I guess things are going OK. My favors came and they're alright. I handed out the invites to my co-workers with little ado (thankfully). I've got a few RSVPs so far, but it's only been a week or two and there's another

The dumpster story

Posted Thursday, June 12, 2008 11:46 AM

In my meeting with the caterer June 1st, I told him he would need to take his trash with him as Wisconsin state parks do not provide trash recepticals for guests (that aren't camping). He seemed a little thrown off, but agreed. So that got me thinking,

Splitting the co-workers

Posted Tuesday, June 10, 2008 3:34 PM

So last night I had to do it. I couldn't put it off any longer. It was time to figure out which of my co-workers I'm going to invite and which I'm not. I can imagine for most people, it isn't very hard, you just don't put them on the list to start with.

A pirate costume and the first RSVPs

Posted Monday, June 09, 2008 3:11 PM

I've received my first RSVPs... kind of exciting, but also nervewracking... what if the people who don't RSVP right away don't like the invites (or worse, us!) Eh, I think that's probably just my imagination running way, all the feedback I've gotten so

Ring saga apparently not quite over...

Posted Thursday, June 05, 2008 3:03 PM

When we last left the saga of the rings, the jeweler had agreed to give us a white gold banded tungsten ring at about half cost due to their error (see earlier blog posts in Feb and March if you want to catch up). They told us they would call us when

Invites and catering

Posted Monday, June 02, 2008 8:47 AM

Several good things happened this weekend. I finalized the design of the invitations and took them to a national office store chain to print them. My officiant works in the copy center there but only from 9-2 on Saturdays. So my fiancé and I piled everything
