Update on the Wedding!!!

Ok the dress and veil are in!!!! WHAT THE HELL!!! What happened to the 4-6 month wait. Dang it. That means I have to pay for my dress in full now! UGH!!! j/k.... But it would have been nice though you know... Am I excited?? Yes and no... That means i'm goin to probably want to try the dress every now and then and that means I have to be careful not to get it dirty. The other thing is that Awsome's goin to wanna poke around and sneak a peak.. although I know he's really good about not doin such a thing.. hahahha So yeah it came in about 2-3 weeks ago now and I still have yet to pick it up. Probably next week!!!! I still have to find shoes if i'm goin to have it altered there too??? We'll see....

The other up side is that we had our first tasting for cakes!!! YUM!!!! We met w/ Chef Michael over at Perfect Endings in Napa. Far huh? Well we thought we'd make it a day trip for the both of us. We could have done it at the Waterfront at the Pier but eeeeeeeeeeeeh....NAPA OUTLETS!!!! HAHAHHAHA Let's just say this is our front runner so far. We have another tasting this Saturday! MORE FREE CAKE!!!! Hey...here's a tip for you folks, if you ever become engaged...take advantage of all the free stuff that comes along with it!!!! SERIOUSLY!!!! We also had our tasting at Blakes last week and that was really good!!!! I just hope it tastes just as good the day of. I may be busy as a bee that day and barely get to eat..but if I remember my salad at my cotillion which was god..13 year ago... tasting like there were pieces of dirt in it...then i'll probably notice the food at our wedding.. hahahhaha

So what else is there left to do??? LOTS!!! Thank god Awsome has been very helpful. I LOVE IT! That's one of the reasons i'm marrying this man! hee hee hee... I swear... it's so surprising how he's really paricipating in EVERYTHING regarding our wedding. I thought it would be one of those things where "oh sure..go right ahead..whatever you pick as long as within budget." But actually it's like..."well..what if we do it like this? or how about this instead? or yeah..that's great! I like that much better." Which is soooooooo cool! I was so tempted for him to help me pick out my dress...but we both didn't want him to see it till I walk down that aisle. hee hee hee..I KNOW..SUCH CHEESE HUH???

Another big step that we're taking is our Engaged Encounter Retreat which is comin up in 2 weeks. What is it you ask? Well the Diocese of Oakland gave us 3 choices. Well when you plan on getting married, you have to go thru these preparation classes for marriage. What they're all about.. I have no clue... I have an idea though.. The first choice was to go to a class once a month till April I think, second choice was to go to a class held Sat/Sun of one weekend from 8-5pm, and third was to go to a retreat from Friday-Sunday. We opted for door number 3!!! Pretty exciting! I received the rules of the retreat and since we're suppose to bring snacks, we're not able to bring drugs or alcohol....HAHAHHAHAH HILARIOUS!!! Ooooooooooooooook...what kind of people have they had comin to these things.... Anyhow, i'll keep you all posted on the cake tasting this Saturday. I'm goin back to my wedding research online... hahhahahaha
