No RSVPs today again. My mom did tell me that my aunt would be coming, but she has to send out her RSVP when she gets back to North Carolina.
We had our meeting with Father Al earlier. It went well, we gave him our Pre-Cana certificate and talked about the program. Then he talked a little about Jesus and the wedding (seriously) and going to confession before the wedding. Matt asked about writing our Prayer of the Faithful which made us realize that we should probably start it.
I picked up the pictures of my hair trial and our cake tasting, so I'll be able to put them in the scrapbook tomorrow since it's late.

Hairy Flower
126 days
Currently working on: pocketfolds (112/130 done)
ceremony programs (50/200 done)
Sweet relief! Pre-Cana is done and over with and we never have to go back again! I'm not going to rant about how much a I hated it (a lot) but I will say that it did absolutely nothing for me. I don't want to dwell on the boring and painful, though, so let's move on to other things.
My hair piece came in! It is GORGEOUS! I am so happy that I ordered it from Etsy since the one I got from Claire's looks like crap compared to this one! Here's a picture:
We also sent back the ring we had originally ordered Matt and ordered the new one from Jared that he wanted. Here's a picture of it:
I got another brooch in! It's for Shannon's bouquet so now I only need one more for hers and I'll be able to finish it! Another picture:
Yesterday, we got a bunch of packages in as well, but I didn't have the time or energy to write about them because of Pre-Cana. My dress for my shower from ModCloth came in! I tried it on last night before leaving and it fits! I'll need to get a slip from Gap to go under, but I love it and I'm so glad to have the return nonsense done and over with! Our dads' cufflinks and ushers' tie and cufflink sets also came in! You can see them here on our wedding website!

Chapel of Love
139 days
Currently working on: pocketfolds (62/130 done)
Today Matt and I met with the wedding consultant for the chapel and went over the ceremony basics. We decided on a couple things such as sitting for the ceremony (versus kneeling), who's walking down the aisle and in what order, as well as other small details. We went through a bunch of old programs that Pat had and took a few as inspiration. We finished the programs on Vistaprint once we got home and I'm ordering them right now! Here are what they'll look like:
After we met with Pat, we went to the Priory and met with Father Al, our officiant. We talked for a little while, got his address, gave him the readings we decided on, and talked about our Pre-Cana in February. (Matt registered us for a two-day one on the 10th and 11th. Hopefully it'll be better having it split like that.)
We stopped at Michael's to get more Glue Dots for the pocketfolds as well as more bags for the welcome bags. I also found some really cute ribbon for the invitations since I knew I wouldn't have enough for those as well as the programs. It's white with light blue writing that says "Eat, Drink, & Be Married".
And now Matt and I are off to bed!
