Good day today (and yesterday)!

Invites went out on the 25th and the responses are slowly rolling in (about 1 or 2 a day).

Went to Barrons yesterday and picked out my headpiece and veil - pick them up on the 19th.

Today FH and all (but one) of the groomsmen went to NJ to be fitted for and reserve their kilts -this was a HUGE cause of stress for me! SO glad it's finally done.

My mum and I went to pick out my cake; I just have to call the caterer on Monday and tell him what I want.

And, I GOT THE CALL!!! My gown is in - whoo hoo! So now I have to get my butt to Blums to get my undergarment(s) (psst - girdle )

Re: *~* November Is Our Month *~*

Hmmm. Interesting. It's very beautiful. I think I may need something a little longer - for my "pooch". It's my lower abdoment that sticks out (bleh).

Re: *~* November Is Our Month *~*

congrats ladies on getting so much done!!!cant wait to see pick from you fiting congrats on getting the call!!!

Re: *~* November Is Our Month *~*

our pastry chef had a cake emergency (apparenty something happened to a cake) so we had to reschedule our meeting/tasting! boooo.

BUT i had my first fitting which went really well! i cant wait for the next one

Re: *~* November Is Our Month *~*
