The Wedding Planning Continues

Two days off school due to inclement weather? Yes, and thank you.

I finally paid for my wedding dress, and by I paid I clearly meant my mother paid for my wedding dress. It turned into a really stupid ordeal. LONG STORY short, My mom and I drove the hour + drive to Bowling Green for a fitting only to find out the sold the dress to someone else. We paid for it and left.

Mike and I had to re-do our honeymoon plans once again. His company wouldn't give him enough time off to go to Europe. So, after much convincing from Mike, we decided on Vegas. I didn't want to go there (it was Mike's first idea) because I didn't want to spend my entire honeymoon gambling, but we did some research and there is SO much to do there besides gambling. We have already paid for our first night there and reserved our room for the rest of the week so this is set in stone. Very soon we are going to buy tickets to The Beatles Love and Criss Angel's show (yeah, I said it.). Among other things we are going to see Second City, go to a Titanic exhibit, Price is Right show, get couples massages, eat a $75 champagne brunch at the best rated brunch in the city (which is also in our hotel), and eat at Bobby Flay's restaurant. I am very excited.

This weekend Mike and I are finally having our first meeting with our priest. We have to take a test to see if we are compatible for marriage. Mike and I are both nervous about this. He asked me what we will do if we fail, and I told him we will still get married, just outside of the church. I don't want a test to tell me if we are right for each other, I already know we are.

I am also a little nervous, because Mike's sister-in-law told him she has some friends who got married in a Catholic church. The priest found out they lived together and would only agree to marry them if one of them moved out until the wedding. Granted, Mike and I technically only live together 4 days out of a month, but I would HATE not being together. We agreed if it came down to it, I could ask my parents if I could sleep at their house on the weekends that he is home. It just makes the most sense. Mike doesn't have family in Clarksville, and he lives in a truck the majority of the time so he deserves to sleep in his own home. It would just suck, though.

After that we are going to go to Target to register for gifts. I have been looking forward to this since before I had ever even met Mike. I just want to walk around with this price gun SO BAD.

Then, we are going to Sam's Club to start buying a few things, mostly items for the buffet line like chafing dishes and servingware.

"It's all happening!"
