We are five months away! The RSVP's are slowly trickling in, and I can say with confidence to those of you still on the fence, the roster is shaping up real nice.
I am new to this kind of formality and I truly hate asking people to do things I know I would forget myself, but nonetheless I can only think of my dear mother slaving over a hot menu and urge people to get their RSVPs to me by April 21st for her sake.
My mind is filling up with strange foreign concepts like centerpieces and chair covers these days, what the hell is a wedding favour? Ahh, got it. The theme is shaping up to be a garden explosion, with tonnes of flowers and general greenery. The mood for the afternoon will be set by our dear friends Aaron and Jonathon, whose heartfelt folksy tunes will be a lovely accompaniment to a laid back day of fun and laughter and of course, looooove.
The menu is coming together (for those of you who know my family, you will know food is our favorite thing to talk about) as is the bar (for those of you that know me, you will know this is all I care about). Kyle who?
Has anyone ever watched Say Yes to the Dress? I highly recommend it. I also recommend Four Weddings. I have pretty much replaced my Food Network addiction with a wedding show addiction. Don't worry though, if anything these shows serve to strengthen my resolve against becoming bridezilla.
Speaking of dresses, I found one. It's amazing and gorgeous and I love it.

On their way to getting married, a young couple is involved in a fatal car accident. They find themselves sitting outside the Pearly Gates, waiting for St. Peter to process them into Heaven. While waiting, they begin to wonder: Could they possibly get married in Heaven? When St. Peter shows up, they ask him. St. Peter says, 'I don't know. This is the first time anyone has asked that. Let me go and find out,' and he leaves.
The couple sit and wait, and wait. Two months pass and the couple is still waiting. As they wait, they discuss that if they were allowed to get married in Heaven, what was the eternal aspect of it all. 'What if it doesn't work?' they wondered. 'Are we stuck together forever?'
After yet another month, St. Peter finally returns, looking somewhat bedraggled. 'Yes,' he informs the couple, 'you can get married in Heaven.'
'Great!' says the couple, 'But we were just wondering, what if things don't work out? Can we also get a divorce in Heaven?'
St. Peter, red-faced with anger, slams his clipboard onto the ground.
'What's wrong?' ask the frightened couple.
'OH, COME ON!' St. Peter shouts, 'It took me three months to find a priest up here! Do you have any idea how long it'll take me to find a lawyer?'

Dress shopping!
Heading out for my first official scouting mission tomorrow morning. I have done a bit of peeking around since we've been here in Halifax, but nothing too serious. Tomorrow I gather the troops and begin the real assault. The battalion includes my sisters (Katie and Aili), Kyle's sisters (Charlotte and Courtenay), Kyle's mom (Jennifer), our good friend and the wedding hairdresser (Robyn) and David's girlfriend (Heather). I am looking forward to a montage-worthy day of dresses, jokes and general girlishness.
Dress-wise I am still pretty wide open. My dress will likely be strapless and probably not white, it will be simple enough to wear at an outdoor wedding and it will have to be built like a suspension bridge to keep all my business in line.
Well, wish us luck. Actually your wishes would be better spent on the poor staff at the stores we will be descending on, we got a lot of personality in this group.
