4 days
So I emailed Scott and found out that we're over $2000 short of our food minimum. We thought that we'd be able to use this for an open bar, but apparently it's ONLY for food. Now we have to add something and there's no other way we'll be able to afford an open bar. I'm rather annoyed...
I also got a text from my mom that Jos A Bank is saying there's an extra fee for the tuxes to remain there until Friday. What the hell.
Seriously, I am over all this wedding bullshit. I just want it to be here and enjoy it. UGH

The Borrower
63 days
225 invited
106 attending
27 declined
RSVPs today:
-my former coworker from Gap, Katie
-Matt's parents' neighbors, Joe and Nellie, and their son and caretaker, Tom (declined)
-Matt's mom's friends, Liz and David
-Matt's cousins, Sean and Julie (declined)
I took Chase, one of our ushers, to get his tux measurements done today. After waiting for 30 plus minutes without being helped, we finally got him measured. Thankfully, the guy was young enough and knew how to measure and use the computer. Now, I just have to drag Ryan in to get his done.
When I got the mail, the rest of the fans had come in from Oriental Trading! I may have to switch the baskets for them and the bubbles, though.
I also got my something borrowed in the mail! My mom sent me one of my dad's name tags and here's a picture:
I also finally sent my mom the skirt for her dress! And then Chase pointed out that he was going back there tomorrow and could have brought it. Gee, thanks.
Last, the girls have found a potential house for the bachelorette! They're thinking this is the one which makes me so excited!!

Pain in the Tux
94 days
212 invited
40 attending
8 declined
RSVPs today:
-Jay & Donna, Matt's uncle and aunt
-Luke, Matt's cousin
-J.M., Matt's friend from college and
-Joslyn and Tom, my friend from high school and her boyfriend
Today I went to pick up Nicole's dress at Alfred Angelo and got a VERY pleasant surprise: ALL of the girls' dresses have come in! I picked them all up, except for Shannon's because she has a balance due on hers, and brought them home! They are beautiful!!
I then took Nick to get his measurements done in Cranston. Those men have no idea how to use a computer. It took almost an hour! In the end, everything was fine, but it was a ridiculously painful experience. Ugh
And, last, I found a different pair of cufflinks for Matt! They're going to be a surprise, though! Here is the original picture:
Obviously they'll have our initials and date, but I love them!

Pearlicious
146 days
Currently working on: pocketfolds (62/130 done)
bouquet pearls (8/8 done)
I finished the pearls for the Cristina's bouquet - the LAST one! I'm so happy to have that part all done, since the brooches are so much easier and fewer! I can't believe that I put it off for months and it only took me four days to finish. I'm ridiculous.
I also finished the RSVPs for the invitations that I have put together so far. (I had run out the other day and had to wait until the rest came in.)
And now onto asking the groomsmen to get measured for their tuxes.

Penguin Suits
154 days
Currently working on: pocketfolds (51/130 done)
Matt and I were busy wedding bees today! We had two different wedding appointments that we went to.
First we went to the chapel to meet with the musical coordinator (who's also the organist) and the vocalist. We decided on the hymns, psalms, and music that would be played during the ceremony. We were also able to get a violinist (although he wasn't there) which I've always wanted! The vocalist has an amazing voice and Sherry, the organist, was great as well! Matt and I are really happy with them and excited to have one more thing checked off our to-do list!
Later we went to Joseph A. Bank to register our wedding and pick out the tuxes that the guys will be wearing for the wedding. We had already built a tux online, so it was just making sure they had all the pieces and registering the wedding and the guys. Now we'll just be sending out an email for them to get measured (at any Joseph A. Bank store) by May! Here are the tuxes that we'll be getting:
