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.

I'm sorry you're not feeing well. :( I certainly hope you feel better soon. Gotta take care of yourself! :)

What a generous family you have. I can't even imagine. That's just lovely! It sounds like everything is falling into place, so hopefully you can take some time off from stressing over the next two weeks - they will certainly fly by! :)

sorry about the typos and the sickness....

as for feeling skinny :rolleyes: you're a dork lol

that's really neat your parents/aunts& uncles started doing that though! that's really neat! we thought we'd start putting back money into 1 savings account, as each chlid turned 12, and kind of save up so that we can fully pay for our daughters wedding, and contribute the "traditional" costs towards both the boys weddings.....plus, my stepdaughter is the ONLY girl, so we know her grandparents, us, and my FMIL will have it all covered lol.....

Sorry you aren't feeling well! I hope you feel better by the big day!!

That's awesome about getting money you weren't expecting!

Yay for getting a final headcount! We still haven't heard from a lot so we are just going to assume they are coming and buy 200 plates of food. My mom doesn't want people showing up and us not having enough. Too bad people can't take 2 minutes out of their days to let us know if they are coming or not. Sheesh!

This week will fly by and next thing you know it'll be your wedding week! Yay! I don't know how much I'll be around in the next week...and I'll be on my honeymoon for your wedding week....so I'll tell you now...Have a wonderful wedding day! I hope you have a beautiful day! :D :D :D
