Two weeks to go.. and time for an update.
We have a FIANL headcount of 150 (the exact number we were aiming for) with 2 very late, very delinquent maybes. We've finalized everything for our cake, lighting, linens, photographer, and florist. I'm waiting to hash out just a few more details before finalizing things with the hotel, videographer, and DJ.
My MOH printed and finished our placecards, which are beautiful! I'll post pics later. She also printed 170 programs for us, but as I was assembling them, I noticed there were typos in the Korean section so we're waiting on more cardstock paper to arrive next week to redo all of them.
Got some GREAT news the other day. My parents sat me down and explained that they have an expressed agreement with my dad's siblings regarding their offsprings' weddings. The agreement is that each of them will contribute up to $2000 toward each wedding to help with exepsnes. They've apparently been doing this since the first of my cousins got married over 15 years ago. There have been 6 weddings to date and I'm next, so my parents gave us $3500 in cash that they received so far from two of my dad's siblings. They're still waiting on his other two siblings for their contributions. Yay for having a generous large extended family and double yay for money we didn't even know was coming our way!
I've been feeling a bit sick the past two weeks, mostly just indigestion, which is fairly typical for my body under stress, but these past two days I've also had a really bad cold. I spent all night coughing and throwing up last night. Not fun. :snide: On the bright side, I feel super skinny today.
