so much stress

To sum up today, well, it was stressful. It started out kind of frustrating, but it ended on a, well, interesting note.

This morning my mom and I got downtown to the hair salon for our 10:15 appointment only to be told that the girl who was supossed to be doing my hair was having car troubles...in the end, they had to reschedule everything for bright and early tomorrow morning...which meant I had to rechedule the bridal pictures and the alterations for then as well. Unfortuantely the alterations place isnt open on Saturdays...so we had to make a mad scramble of calls to find another place that was.

Luckily everyone was able to move their things, and we went ahead and went straight to the rental place, which was much better than the last. At least here they had a big assortment of things, and the colonnade is going to look pretty sweet at the wedding. They had everything that we needed except for the brown linens or chair covers, but we got the name of a lady who does have brown and met with her later on in the day. She's a bit pricer than we had hoped, but everything does match...we are going to keep looking and decide on her later.

The table we are getting for the sand ceremony

The top of the colonnade!

Ignore the random crap, but the table itself is what we are using for the dessert bar!

Anywho, the rentals are booked. Ceremony chairs, colonade, tables, reception chairs, dessert bar stuff, serving trays, etc. And even a couple of surprises that I'll divulge next week! I knew the rental place was going to be a heafty cost, but luckily it came in right at what we had figured, so it wasnt too bad.

Then Kelsey and I went out to meet with the videographer (who is also doing the bridal pics tomorrow!). He changed it up on me and informed me that his brother would be the one in charge of the video now, instead of the guy who I had initially booked...I was a bit frustrated, because I didnt know this guy's experience and all...but after meeting with him I think it will be ok. He's got a broadcasting degree and owns the same camera as me, so obviously he *should* know what he is doing. We are going to set up our camera too, so they will have a bunch of different angles, and he seems really nice, so I feel better about that. And the guy who is doing the bridal pics, Jared, seems really easy-going and seems to have good ideas for the shoot tomorrow, so hopefully that goes well!

And then shortly before Adam got into town my mom threw me a curve ball, all because of an article in the paper...I cant disclose all of the details yet, but let's just say we are going to make an unexpected trip to Branson tomorrow afternoon, and this could potentially shake up some things... We shall see...
