Wedding Overload!!!

I cannot guarantee that I'll be able to blog again before the wedding day, but I'm definitely going to try!! In case I can't though, this is going to be kind of a long blog. Soooooooo much to catch you all up on since last week!! Might as well get it going now!

My two best men surprised me with a bachelor party weekend in Vegas that began last Friday night. It goes without saying that it was a good, good time! I've known those guys for 18 or 19 years, and although we've gotten older, things remain the same. I don't even consider them friends, but family just like my blood. Anyway, I got back to the Denver area Monday evening, and man did I have stuff waiting for me!! I turned in the number for our wedding the other day and signed the event orders as well to approve everything. I haven't had a chance to do some changes to the website, but please DO NOT use the RSVP link. I will be removing it in the next day or two when I get the opportunity, but please contact Monica's mother, Monica, or myself with any changes or questions. Regardless though, we're all set! 8 days to go! Yeah!!

Our honeymoon cruise was cancelled, so we've now rebooked on the Carnival Valor. If you didn't read my last blog, the reason it was cancelled was because we were due to go on the Carnival Splendor. The ship that had engine issues and caught fire in the Pacific the other week. They've cancelled all cruises through the end of the year, so we had to make adjustments. We actually like the itinerary better. We'll be gone the same amount of days, but this time going to the Cayman Islands, Belize, Isle of Roatan, and Cozumel. Not bad at all!!

Alrighty, so upcoming...our rehearsal dinner is tomorrow night! This marks the beginning of the crazy wedding festivities. Mel and Adria fly in tomorrow and they'll be at the dinner also, so we're very excited about that. My grandmother actually flew in Saturday, so she was the first to get out here! Bachelorette and another bachelor party follows on Saturday evening with the crazy partiers going to the wedding. Beyond that, it's your standard frantic wedding stuff. My daughters fly in Tuesday evening, Monica and I have to get our license, a bit more shopping to do for the wedding, and in between all of this wedding business, there's Thanksgiving next week! Who were the nutjobs that decided that having a wedding the day after turkey day was a good idea? Hahaha.

Have any of you checked out the ten day forecast? We'll be in the mid to upper 60s here in Denver, and Loveland will hit 59 today. Wedding day forecast is looking to be in the 44 degree range so far and no snow forecasted. Should be a nice and easy drive! No issues! Yes!! Lastly, I have one other thing to announce, and this is a biggie...

We are providing alcohol at the wedding!!! The numbers have worked out, and while we aren't going to be providing alcohol for the entire time, it will be for a good amount of the reception, and we're glad to be able to do this for our guests! So still bring cash because it will turn into a cash bar at some point, it just won't be at the beginning. Wooohooo!!! And with that, I gotta close this thing out. I hope I'll be able to hit you guys up again sometime soon, but if not, I'll give you a complete recap of the wedding later!! Yeah!!!
