Progress and Setbacks

Well, we got a good bit of stuff done today.

  • Dropped off my engagement ring to have it dipped for the wedding
  • Had blood drawn for blood tests (this was a small nightmare)
  • Finished addressing the invitation envelopes
  • Picked up tie tacks for the groomsmen
  • Had Mike fitted for his tux
But we had two annoying setbacks.

First, the jewelers cannot resize our rings. They won't cut mine down and Mike's can only go up half a size. So now, we have beautiful rings, but we can't wear them. It's back to the drawing board for temporary rings. Then we'll see about having an independent jeweler resize the set we want. Ugh!

Second, the cute little ballet slippers we wanted for our flower girls are no longer available without ordering them online. Somebody (I won't mention any names) never called us back about his daughter's shoe size. Of course, this is the same person who also has not let us know if he has even been fitted for his tux. Ugh. I had planned to wait and get the shoes together so that I knew the girls would have comfortable, matching shoes. Now it's on to plan B--harrass said person until we find out the size. If plan B does not work, then plan C--buy cute shoes for one and ask the second to bring her own. (I think I'm sounding a bit bridezillaish--I apologize; it's an effect of the horrible bloodletting experience I had earlier. It will wear off and I'll be my sweet self again by morning.

Alright, off to print some invitations!
