July is here!!!! It's officially my birthday month - as anyone who knows me, they know that even though my birthday is the 2nd to last day of July, the whole darn month is a celebration. What could be more awesome than a wedding smack dab in the middle of it! I'm getting so excited for everything. Tim and I wrote our ceremony & vows the other night. Our wedding rings are being made for us this weekend (thank you Val!!!), my dress is being put together (thank you Anna!!!), my decorations are....well, decorations are still coming along slowly, and the food is coming together. I'm trying to stay calm in realizing that everything will not work out as planned, things will change along the way, and to just adapt and let everything fall into place as it will.
Our biggest headache as of late has been the music situation. The original band could not get a drummer, our 2nd choice band could not get a drummer....I'm sensing a pattern....and then we spent the money on other weddingy things. But I do believe we've got it figured out now. We have a band that offered to play for free for a single set, then the stage will be open to all you musical friends out there. So please bring your instruments, your singing voice, heck, bring some of your band members, and let's put on a good show. We will also have an ipod back-up for those moments where everyone is too busy eating/drinking/chatting to get up on stage.
With just over 2 weeks left, let's run through the details for everyone. The ceremony is July 16th at 4pm at Bath Library Park Gazebo. Following that, the reception is at the Bath Country Club. There will be finger foods (a lot), but no sit-down meal. There is a cash bar. We have the space until 9pm, then Tim & I are thinking of heading over to the Topsham Sea Dog for Karaoke to wrap up the night. Please please please join us!
What I need at this point is a group that will be willing to meet me early in the day to set up the reception hall and ceremony site, then a group that will stay behind to help clean up both. I really don't want to have to do this myself so if anyone would be willing to help, that would be fantastic. Also, a "chauffeur" for the day/night would be grand...but I'm sure we'll figure that one out that day.
Lastly, kids are welcome at the ceremony and the reception. My 4 will be there. However, I would greatly appreciate that if you bring kids, you please be responsible by watching them around the food, cake and guests. My kids will be leaving to be babysat around 6pm, but yours are more than welcome to stay. I don't mind them being there at all, I just want a break from having to watch my own ;-) And if anyone has ideas for things to amuse the kids, please let me know. I'd love to have something for them to all do that is low-impact yet amusing.
Okay, that's all for now....of to go to the craft store!
