Just thought I'd give an update - since I have been a little behind in planning. I had a successful weekend. Met w. Father Umana who is simply wonderful. He was so professional and so knowledgeable. We are really happy with him. If anybody is looking for a Catholic priest please let me know and I will post his info. And I booked a florist. Fleurs de Florissima. For all of you who remember my millions of flower posts - I finally found something I am truly sure of. The flowers are just so incredibly important to me, and I feel like there are other places I would rather cut costs. We are doing three different centerpieces - one is a low wreath like piece with a glass bowl w. candles and flowers floating, the next is slightly taller - built around a candelabra that has three pillar candle stands. And the final one is tall (very tall) fluted glass vases filled with curly willow branches and the same flowers as the rest of the pieces. Everything will be cream, ivory and white - I am really excited. It's expensive, but I feel such a peace of mind. I guess it's one of the details that just takes priority for me!
That's the update! Hope all is well out there! Nina - how are you holding up?!? One more week!

Re: Accomplished!
Jenny, I'm glad the priest thing worked out! How very exciting for you! Congrats on the flower selection too!
I have one more week and I really have been MIA from this board - to busy running around! But I'm pretty calm - surpisingly for me!

Re: Accomplished!
Could you post or email the information on the priest. Is he associated with a parish? Does he do ceremonies outside of the church?

Re: Accomplished!
Doesn't it feel so good to get things done and be happy with what you got! You're centerpieces sound lovely.
I'm hanging in there, I had a really busy weekend, but also got a lot done. I'm calling in sick on Tuesday, and taking Thursday and Friday off, so that helps me to get more things done and have enough time for everthing. I can't wait, but want to enjoy these last few days as much as I can.
