Delayed Updates
It's been a while since I've had a lot to update on wedding plans. And last weekend we got a lot done...and I neglected to blog about it. Last Friday Greg and I went to Men's Wearhouse and picked out tuxes. No bow ties...to Greg's disappointment. Greg will wear a white vest with small silver details in a diamond pattern, and a matching tie that is more of a stripe pattern. The groomsmen and fathers will wear the same patterns only in all black. Everything is black and white except the flowers...green, pink, and purple!
Saturday we met with Deacon Rich. We learn so much with each visit, and we grow so much between each visit. I've mentioned before that we have been reading books on marriage, and Deacon Rich suggested "The 5 Languages of Love." So, we bought it, and Greg is reading it first! =)
Also, on Saturday I went with Brigitte, Hannah, and Mom to see my dress for the first time! I got to try it on, and it's just as beautiful as I remember! And this one is MINE...not just a sample! No hints (Greg reads this), but I can't wait to wear it on August 12! I asked Greg what he is picturing, and he thinks my dress will look like..."Silky with some sort of empire waist, and it's not going to have a lot of puffs and frills on the bottom, no nonsense. Not a lot of beading either."
I had to get that in writing to look back on 6 months from now, and 50 years from now! We'll see...
Also on Saturday night, we got to babysit Daniel and Finn! And we asked the Fitzgerald family to carry the gifts up during mass. They are very excited! We think we've choosen readers, but they have yet to be informed. =)
On Sunday, we skipped the bridal show, and just spent time with each other. We were very glad to have the weekend together...3 whole days is a treat! Greg mastered the art of building a fire in the wood burner, with assistance from Dad. And we had "ted-corn" as Greg refers to it because he loves when Dad makes popcorn on the stove. Overall it was a very relaxing weekend.
This week, Grandpa Klesta passed away. He was sick and in pain, but it's always hard. He's in a better place now. I was asked to do the second reading at mass which was a honor, and I have a very lovely plant to remember him. Greg was not able to be here, due to school and weather it just wasn't possible. He was very upset about it, but I told him I may need him now, but I also need him forever so he's not allowed to drive 3 hours in the snow.
Looking forward to another relaxing weekend with my family, and hopefully many more updates over the next 6 months!
203 days! <3
