• The Wedding Planner

  
  

  

  
  

  I told myself that I would not post until I had something besides wedding stuff to write about......yup, that's why there has been nothing, nada, zip.  Because for well over a month that is all I have been doing.  The end is in sight, June 5th is right around the corner, we will soon be celebrating.  I am beyond excited, that everything has come together so well.  Some might call it obsessive planning, I call it one chance to get it right.  Since I don't see anyone else stepping up to do all the work and we certainly don't have the funds to hire a professional, good ol' mom does it all.  And for those who think I don't know what I'm doing, this is the fourth wedding I've done.  I have discovered weddings are like everything else...the more you do it, the better you get.    

  
  

  We are still planning on changing locations after the wedding.  So the move and living in the RV is still on.  It just got pushed back until middle of June.  Bear is going to have to go ahead of me since I have a committment to emcee our local festival.  That's another thing you get better at the more you do....this is the third year I've done all the emcee work, truth to tell it's a blast.  It's called the Archey Fork Festival and they have an antique car show, carnival, craft booths, free music and a ton of fireworks.  My job is to open the festival, introduce all the bands, give proper acknowledgement to all the sponsers and make sure all the little tech details don't get out of hand.  I usually work from about ten in the morning until 10 at night.  It's a long hard day and it's all volunteer.  Not one person gets paid.  I am just one of 50 to 75 volunteers, it's just I'm the one on stage so I am in the most visible position.  Woohoo, just where Hams like to be...center stage. 

  
  

  Well, I have to do multiple things today and not one is getting done so I better get the hell off here.  By the way if anyone wants an invitation to the wedding you better e-mail me your address.  If you were to actually come you would find a formal afternoon wedding with a carnival/reception.  Carnival??? you say!  Well, why the hell not?  It is a family affair and if the adults get to drink, dance and make merry why shouldn't the kids have as much fun.  Since kid is a relative term, I do believe that after the pictures are all done I will get on my play clothes and climb into the bounce.  Make sure you check out the link, this is Emily's future in-laws.

  
  

  This is where I put my apology to all my friends for neglecting you for so long.  When this is all over I promise to come by and play catch up.  Remember, if you need me, I'm only an e-mail away.  Have a great Friday!
