Let me begin by saying the we got to everything today we were supposed to do, and somehow the list for tomorrow is no longer right now than it was this morning.
But really, today, not so great.
- The house sitter has the wrong key.
- One of the roads on the directions to the wedding is now closed.
- The weather channel is now saying scattered t-storms for Sunday.
- The ketubah cannot be mounted in time before it gets here.
- The Best Man's tux was shipped to the wrong location.
- The hot air balloon ride that was the Maid of Honor's surprise gift was cancelled do to wind.
- I messed up the seating arrangements needlessly
- The caterer only today discovered what time the meal is at, and cannot make that time.
- The temple membership is agitated that the officiant is not participating in the Saturday service, even though she was asked and declined.
We're smart enough to know you can't fight city hall.
Really there's only one day left until we're really in a linear time world, and then right at the top of that the rest of the wedding party arrives so we've got a bit of a SWAT team if we need it. Still it would be nice to not have these bumps, even if they are just the cost of doing business.
M and I are looking for ideas for gifts for our Parents. Any ideas?

About the gift: Wishing Fish has all sorts of neat-o gift-y things (esp. for moms). The Ensalada Bowl was a huge hit with my folks as a mother's day gift. Its really quite clever, and beautiful and it won an industrial design award for its coolness and beauty and practicality.
What is a ketubah?
Sounds like your doing well and the list isn't getting longer. Linear time world is nice, it forces priorities.
Have a great wedding!
We delayed our parents' gifts and got them super-deluxe wedding photo albums, which they would have gotten anyway, but we paid for them.
Happy wedding! I will keep my fingers crossed for sunshine.
But wait, there's more. The wedding planner told us today she's in the middle of a divorce and just this week had to file a restraining order against her husband.
OMG, that is so not what you need to hear! I thought you two weren't using a planner. Hm. It is coming down a bit hard right now, isn't it?
But, y'know, it seems from your blog that you and M have the sense of humor and patience to sail through this--and married life--just fine. I am groaning at what's going on, but I think the two of you will be great.
You could always use the event to write a terrifically funny reality-TV script if anything else goes awry.
the saga continues...
Katy: a Ketubah is a marriage contract, very artistic and usually mounted and framed. DO a google search and you'll see alot of them.
Indri: We're hangin in. THe planner is a kind of "day of facilitator who also books the hall. If you hire her she'll coordinate your vendor's etc...
Today...
Today my tux jacket did not fit.
Today the trouble light on my dash came on.
only a few days left though.
Housesitter key fixed.
Best man's tux recovered.
Thunderstorms now Friday Night.
Ketubah fixed.
Seating fixed.
One step at a time.
