I'm slowly making my way through the dozen or so phone calls to make appointments with every business and person involved in the wedding. So far, I have an appointment with the florist and for the dress fitting. There's an event that the hotel is having for some of their clients (I'm assuming it includes people who are using the hotel's services in the near future) - I believe it will involve a little bit of food and drink, but the invitation isn't exactly clear on that. The event is April 7, 6:30-8:30 PM. I am wondering if this will be the only time available for me to scope out the reception venue, but I also don't want to be stuck in a room with a million other people (23 have already RSVP'ed as Attending). I'm calling the representative tomorrow, and we'll talk about this event, among other things.
I thought I had a toothache yesterday. I had sharp pain in a very localized part of my mouth, and was scared that my teeth were falling out. That last part isn't an exaggeration, just ask H. Today, I went to see a dentist who had me bite down on various materials, then seemed puzzled as to why he couldn't explain the pain. I told him it stings a little when I press my tongue up against one specific tooth, so he took a look at it. He told me that when I last flossed, I nicked the gum on both sides of that tooth, and it was trying to heal. That would explain why it didn't hurt when I bit down on anything. I was sincerely relieved when he told me this, and told him I would take good care of it to make sure it didn't get infected or whatnot. Now I feel like I can conquer anything.
Dinner last night was a hit! H. and I bought this delicious teriyaki sauce from Costco recently, and I tried it out last night on strips of chicken. Add a little bit of brown rice and voila! Tastiness. Tonight we're having thin crust pizza (not exactly the standard of health, but hey, it has olives and green peppers and have as much crust as usual). I also picked up some froyo, since we were getting low.
I came across this picture on one of the wedding sites I
read every single day frequent, and thought it was just stunning. The baker was inspired by sunprints - I had to look up this term. Apparently there's a specific type of paper that will change colors when left in the sun. If you put an object on the paper, it will retain the image of that object. Neato! While the person that made this cake didn't actually use that paper (she mentioned that would be poisonous), she did airbrush it with edible paint or something, maybe dye? Either way, it's absolutely gorgeous.
Doesn't that just make you want to paint your walls blue and have white furniture? Maybe that's just me.
One last fancy photo for you all - a
spring has definitely sprung centerpiece that has nothing to do with my wedding colors or theme or any of it, but I so so wish it did.
If I had all the time in the world, I would pick my own wildflowers and stuff them into vintage vases that I had coincidentally found from consignment shops and thrift stores. But, seeing as how I don't know where to get wildflowers for the wedding, I suppose we could go with a florist (prices depending) or use grocery store bargains to create our own magical flowery centerpieces.
Sometimes I wish I was obsessed with wedding stuff a year ago and had planned everything out down to the last boutonniere before ever getting engaged. That probably would've made me a crazy lady, so I guess it's good that didn't happen.
