Wedding Planning 2.18.2009

Today is President's Day, we took my dad and grandmother to Valley Green Inn to take a look at where our reception will be held at and meet Kate our wedding planner at Valley Green. So, he was not too happy about our down to earth wedding reception. We have put our deposit to hold the place and also I have a wedding gown. We also found a photographer but have not put a deposit yet to secure her. So, it is coming along slowly. We need flowers and church. Also, we might also found our rehearsal dinner spot.

Hallelujah

I found a church! No boundaries issues!! WOOHOOO! I will tell more when I actually become a parishioner. Damn it... never thought it will be so hard to be accepted into church.

Here is what happen last Sunday. I was told by St. Francis Xavier that I did not live on their boundary line. Their boundary stops at Thompson which is 10 steps from my house and they send me to St. Martin De Porres which is on 24th and Lehigh. Where is St. Francis... 24th and Greene... around the corner from my house.

I was disgusted and almost in tears. My friend, Jill, laughed and her joke is I did not realize God has boundaries. I asked my dad and mom, why did you not warn me about this. I am being send on a stupid goose chase to find a parish. I called the archdiocese chancellor office and they send me there. I called them and almost in tears and filled with stress and said what is this. I live 10 step away form the boundary.

So, I decided to give this other parish a try that my friend recommended and they did not care about what boundary. So, I was excited. When I become a parishioner, I will tell you more.

Church and guest list

I am actually scare of going to church this morning. So, I am procrastinating in my pjs. It is 8:30 and I think I am getting sick. Next mass is at 9:30.

My guest lists is almost filled and that does not even include Carl's list. :0 Opps! My list are just half of my family members and a few of my closest friends. 80 people and I guess I am going for the 100. I might have to cut some people out. OUCH!! Damn it! Feel like the wedding from hell. I did not even check on the photographer and that is like $3500. AHHHH! Oh the DJ too. That God the cake is taken care off. Decorations? Flowers? Great!

Most girl dream of planning a wedding is not my dream

Yeah we love the gorgeous gown but what is the fun. If you think being the center of attention is the fun that is freaking bullshit. Finding the perfect reception spot and having what we want... I thought was easy. Now it is starting to cost more and more. So, if I do not invite everyone, don't be upset. We are inviting a lot of family members. Use to be a 50 people wedding and now it is 80. Was not a church wedding... now we have a church wedding. Oh, by the way, Dena since you went on vacation, I am joining a church and I am also having a Chinese banquet for the Asian family that will be arriving from the 3 continents. AHHHH!
