We're back!

We're back from our whirlwind trip to Canada. It really was a fantastic trip, albeit too short. I'm relieved as we managed to get a fair bit accomplished.

1. Met with the wedding co-ordinator at our reception venue. Much to my relief the boy loved the place as much as I do.



2. Saw the church for the first time and met with the Minister. He was such a warm and lovely man and has given us a lot of flexibility in our vows, the readings, and the music. We pretty much can write his whole sermon for him.

3. Met with our music guy - there will be a 3-piece jazz band during the cocktail hour, followed by a 8-piece band and then a DJ later on in the evening.

4. Had our food tasting - delicious, delicious, delicious!

5. Met with our lovely photographer and sketched out a rough outline of how she will document the day.

6. Tried on my dress - it is perfect in the length but too big in the bodice so I had to bring it back with me to England to try and find a seamstress (the only real disappointment of the trip). Luckily it isn't a massive poofy dress and fit easily in the overhead storage on the plane.

7. Booked hair and makeup for me and my bridesmaids at Keora Aveda Salon

8. Most importantly, got the boy on skis! :)

My caterer would not let us do a food tasting.
i know. What the F? But, thats how they do things around these parts. Word of mouth is supposed to function as the equivalent to a tasting. I am trying to be calm about it. There is only one good caterer in the town, so we dont have much choice. congrats on getting so much accomplished. im in a real lethargic slump!
