Things coming together.

Wow! It has really been a while since I have written something and there is a reason for that, I been crazy busy! On a side note, not only and I a Wedding Planner, planning my own wedding, but have a full time job as an audio engineer for syndicated country radio and do theatre. So the the last few months I was involved in a musical appropriately titled "The Wedding Singer". I also had Country Radio Seminar.

Back to the planning. So as of now, we still do not have a church to hold our ceremony, but am hopeful that in the next few weeks that will all come together. Being Catholic, there is one major rule you must adhere to:

You must be Catholic to get married in the Catholic Church. Easy enough, right? Yes, except when you live in the south and there are only a handful of Catholic Churches and they are all booked. That is the problem. They would like you to get married in your parish, but I am kinda parishless. I moved to a different part of town and never registered at a different church. So the problem is, we don't have a "home church" that we can get married in. One church is very willing to have us if there is not a Titan's Football Pre-season game. Well, is there even a season. Totally messing things up. Next,  the other church that we love is under some weird circumstances. It is located downtown and has a very low membership and the priest is difficult. So they may close and if they don't they are charging an absurd amount of money to rent the church. But luckily, we have a Deacon on our side that is the Bishop's right hand man. 

Connections!!!!

So that's that for now. In other news we did a cake tasting and we are all booked for not only our cake but an array of amazing desserts including canoli's. The baker doesn't even make them, but she know a great place and will get them for us. How great is that! 

Rentals are still in the works. Just need a few tables and lines, but really want the best price. In the end there may be a $50 difference from one place to another, but convenience my trump here.

My reception dress was made and is a little snug, so I have been hitting the gym. Also go my shoes which I have been breaking in. Still never going to be tall enough next to Carlos, but every bit helps.

Lastly, our Engagement Party is this weekend. It should be fun, but not knowing what is going on is killing me. I have set up two registries that may be interesting if you don't need a lot of items, but money. Myresgistry.com is a place where you can set up for cash in a nice way making funds. We have one for a renovation  that we put off on the house. You can also download a button to your computer to register for gifts from other stores. So if you like a vacuum from target, add it, but you like luggage form amazon, link it. It keeps all  registries in one place. The other is honeyfund.com. It is a place where guests can contribute to your honeymoon and feel like they helped make it happen. We are going on a cruise so we have different price points and things to pay for like airfare, cruise, hotel, excursions, dinner, etc. Both are great alternatives to the normal registries.
