More wedding planning

It's been awhile since I've posted about the wedding plans, which are coming on fairly well. New developments are:

- We have dresses for the brides- and groomsmaids. They should arrive in Auckland before Xmas, which means some intensive knitting to get the lace wraps ready in time.

- We have a car, so I'll turn up to get married.

- We're meeting a potential celebrant on the weekend, and if we like her, it will be good. We have some ideas regarding the ceremony, including readings and vows.

- We have contact details for a cake lady.

- My wedding band is "on layby". They re-sized it and then we paid a deposit (wrong way around, surely?), but we've decided to keep the money in the mortgage as long as possible, so we'll pay for it closer to the day.

- We have an action plan for dealing with my uncle who decided that since our ceremony was outside, he'd invite all his grandkids.

- The invitations will be printed soon. It only took 6 drafts to get everything how we wanted it. (Memo to invitation printers: capitalising Random words Does not make Them More important, It Only looks Stupid.)

I'm hoping we'll make some progress on boys' clothes and The Trouser's ring this coming weekend.
