Can't wait to see pics of the wedding. I bet it will be beautiful with fall. I love fall all though living in Cali you don't get to see all the color changes, but hey that's what pics are for! Good luck on the house and job hunt.

Default Wow.. I didn't realize..

it'd been so long since I updated my thread.

Weight info: I stepped on the scale on Wednesday and I was 200.5 lbs. SO CLOSE to Onderland.. I've not got on the scale since then, since I'm afraid it'll not show the number I so want to see, and I can't bear to see another 200 something on the damn thing.

Wedding stuff is moving right along... flowers are ordered, cake ordered..music has been chosen... (Geof's cousin is performing during the ceremony.. lovely flute & clarinet selections).. meal for Friday is planned..breakfast with family on Sunday before we head up to Montreal is mostly planned.... I met with the caterer yesterday.. lovely woman, and seems fairly calm about the whole thing.. turns out she is related by marriage.. her cousin is married to Geof's niece and we met at their (cousin/nieces) wedding last winter, LOL She doesn't remember me, but then I was 117 lbs bigger then.. so not really surprised there

Geof & I will be meeting the minister tomorrow, and then sunday we're renting a small truck to start moving some of the stuff into our new house.

Tonight we went to a showing at a local art gallery then went out to dinner.. afterwards, we visited a while with his sister.. we get along so well, which thrills me to no end....

My ring came in today.. it's *gorgeous*.... so feminine and pretty. Geof's is not in yet, dammit.. his was ordered a week before mine!

My divorce decree, however is NOT here yet.. and I paid for overnight express service.. if this damn thing is not here by Wednesday, I'll have to drive all the way to Massachusetts to get a certified copy in person.. ARGH... (FYI.. a Divorce Nisi is NOT a legal document as far as getting remarried.. did not know this!)

My vows are still not finished, though the lovely Mr. Fisher has offered me some writing tips..

A week from today (since it's now Saturday here..) I'll be married.. WOW..

Geof made me cry today.. he said he wanted his cousin to play "It had to be you" for when I walked down the aisle.. lol. I got all teary. Silly woman, huh?

Gosh, I hope I can get through this whole wedding without too many tears..

Kel!
Sounds like you have your head remarkably well screwed on for being so near W day!
Make sure you fit in FIFTEEN minutes per half day - JUST FOR YOU. Be it that you use the toilet quietly, go for a walk, snooze, paint your nails, read a book with a coffee... It is vital to hang on to TIME OUT when the pace gets cracking!
Best wishes for the last preparations!
Cheers,
Vim

Kel,

I just love you to pieces girl. I can't wait to see the pictures of the wedding. What happened to the pics of the ring you promised us? Anyway, I am so happy for you there is no one that deserves this joy more than you.

DammitSammit and I will be having our 21st anniversary in November. I wish you more years of love, joy, friendship, challenges, and understanding than I have had so far.

Did you remember that "special" dress for the honeymoon night?

Charlie

P.S. Nice to see your siggy and pic back to normal

Sorry, Charlie .... (hehehe.. I'm LMAO.. soo original, huh? lol)

my ring was bought locally, so I don't have any pics yet. I didn't pick my ring up yet, I just went to the store and tried it on.. hehe. I'm gonna make Geof pay for them, LOL I'll have all the pics uploaded as soon as I can.

We're off to meet with the minister, an old friend of my honey.. (My first meeting with her, though) and then a bunch of other stuff too. Should be a busy day!

As for the sig.. I took it off when I was feeling less than happy, as you know.. I'm doing much better since things have started settling into place.

Thanks for the well wishes.
