Progress...

As we tip-toe up on the "6 week to the wedding" mark (not that we're counting), things are falling in to place almost daily, which is a good feeling. Since our last post, we've met with Michelle at Windermere to cement the plans for our menu and set up of the hall. The renovations they completed this spring look great! We are looking forward to golfing a round there and having a nice dinner sometime early in June. The course looks fresh and beautiful.

We've also finally figured out our wedding favours, so we should be able to have those assembled, probably with the help of some bridesmaids, in the next couple of weeks. John completed plans for the wedding party transportation, so if everything goes according to plan (and it should!), a nice white limousine should be waiting for us when we're finished at the church. Plans for the music continue to fall in to place, and we're so grateful that so many members of the church choir, and so many friends, have agreed to come and help support the music during the wedding ceremony. The Orders of Service are almost finished being typed out, so all that will be left is formatting and printing. Other printing projects - name cards, menu cards, etc. - have just been started, but we hope will come together quite easily. And finally, we've made what we hope will be the last appointment with our photographer, to order our engagement pictures and give him our list of requested pictures for the wedding day.

We're looking forward in the coming weeks to pre-wedding festivities. We are going to a wedding tomorrow, and in between the ceremony and the reception, Kathleen is going to a shower for a girl friend who is being married two weeks after us. There are weddings going on everywhere - it's very exciting! Next weekend is John's bachelor weekend in Jasper, ending with a fun BBQ at the house. And the final bridal fitting is next week too! So many things to remember...

And hard to believe that in just a couple of weeks we begin tour preparation with Da Camera Singers. Time is flying by!
