20 days from now

I will become Mrs. Robin Penner after almost 12 years together. I have most things ready to go and can't wait for "the" day to get here. We did a few things this weekend - order the cake, get the guys' gifts (well we got half of them), confirm with the florist that she has to order the flowers.

I still have a few things to do:

Make seating chart and misc signs
Make sure everyone's dresses fit
Make list of pictures we want taken with everyone
Assemble Centrepieces
Assemble bows
Assemble favors - I got $47 worth of Jellybeans on Friday :-)
My Bachelorette party - Robin's decided not to have one - his choice.

We cancelled the SUV, we decided to use Robin's parents mini-van instead - it will fit everyone better and will save us $250 :-) Bonus.

So we invited 164 people and so far we have 106 coming. I am still waiting to hear from 9 people but I'm guessing they can't make it. So we save $$ there too...Bonus. Not that I don't want everyone to come, but life happens and I understand that.

We had been talking about driving down to california, but we were looking online yesterday and flights/hotel are about 1/2 what we were budgeting for so I think we decided to fly and just take day trips. So my brother flies home Sunday morning (he lives in LA) and we'll get there Monday night. I don't think we'll spend a ton of time with him as he'll be at work...but I'm looking forward to seeing the place he calls home now. :-)

The next few weeks will just fly by...but I'll try to post shortly after the wedding.

Adios.
