wedding and registry
Wedding invitations have gone out! We got a bunch of reply cards in the mail today; that was quite fast.
I'll admit that I've been F5-ing the online registry...it's like Christmas morning every day. The fact that we're older and more established means that we already have a fair amount of "stuff," but the things we registered for are a) things we don't already have, b) things we don't have enough of, c) things we have but they're pretty worn out and broken down, or d) things that we have but we'd like really really good quality pass-it-to-your-grandkids versions of. Things we don't already have would be like the food processor or the mixer or slow cooker. Things we don't have enough of would be the day-to-day plates and bowls (we're using as our primaries the same plates I grew up with--now, they're very nice Corelleware, durable stuff, but a lot have gotten broken over the years to the point where we only have two matching bowls). Worn out stuff would be luggage, the bakeware, or the towels. And the "high-end" stuff is the china, the cooking knives, maybe the pots and pans.
And there's a lot on there that is just for entertaining, which we love to do, and other stuff that's for decor or just for fun--like the soft-serve ice-cream maker and dispenser.
Anyway, my time is split about 70-30 between endgame wedding planning and wrapping up a handful of projects for the quarter at work. We booked flights for Vegas for the bachelor party but have yet to book a hotel; I still have a couple questions about that and I need to make a call for some advice. We're looking at tuxes this weekend, we're working on a cake topper, and endlessly trying to answer the burning question, chair covers or no chair covers?
It's going to be a very fun wedding.
