Hey people,

BRRRRR it's cold out there! Tonight will be an unprecedented 28 degrees in NOLA, and I guess the weather is starting to make me freak out. I'm wondering if it will be frigid on the wedding date, will there be snow, will anyone get stranded at the airport... all kinda negative crap. I just am hoping and praying for the best. If not, at least some really strong heaters in the church and reception hall lol.

So this Saturday Matt and I designed and ordered our wedding cake and groom's cake. It's from a local bakery here called Haydel's and they make some great cake. Heck we tasted it twice! We ended up getting a great deal so be sure to tell me what you think when you have a piece.


We also picked up the dresses for my bridesmaids and maid of honor and got a handle on the suit drama. The suit drama is caused by  poor customer service, the associate who helped  Matt order suits failed to tell him that 1) the suits run small and 2) the suit is part of a set, so the man ordered the suit just based on jacket size, disregarding any pant measurements. So Matt tried on his suit and it was incredibly snug. I'm sure I could see his veins bulging out of the suit, it was that tight. After countless call backs and no assistance, we went to another store and got the suits exchanged  for the next largest size and will have an expert tailor adjust them so no one will know the difference. AND we'll have them in time for this weekend when we go to New York so we can give it to some of the bridal party so they can make any necessary alterations as well. YAY!!

It's getting close to crunch time with the RSVP's and I'm starting to get a little nervous about that. Out of close to 200 guests, 50 have RSVP'd. Granted, a majority are family who we know are coming, so I project at least having 120 guests at the reception, but I worry about the procrastinators. Especially those who want to come but didn't book anything yet. Deadlines are coming up people!

We are still trying to go with a beautiful theme for our tables, so hopefully tomorrow we can get it all taken care of during our meeting with our florist. We'll see.

Exhausted but very happy!
