Stuff

Still waiting for the Reverend to get back to me about changing the ceremony time. I sure hope he changes his mind, or plans, or whatever caused this. I am cheesed about having to reschedule with so many people and cramming in the day stuff, but especially about having a horrible, wretched, monster gap between the reception and ceremony.

Anyway, Matt went to Moore's and found the Tux. He'll get on here soon and tell you men the style and colour and stuff.

Thanks dudettes for the help shopping for decorations, placecards, guestbook etc. Erin, how about next wednesday we go see the florist? We have to stop at the paintstore first to get a colour sample to leave them.

I need to send a list of poses to the photographer, please send me your ideas! Tanya, you said you had some, can you email or blog them to me?

Progress indeed!!!

well ladies.........soooo glad we got our shopping done! i had a great time! a little stressfull but it all went quite smoothly if u think about it!!! we got great dresses!!!!

so sam we just need to get the PARTY plans on the go and help keira out with any last min stuff......i'll practice my writing and get those place settings on the go....we'll have to get together like next monday or something keira or whenever you hve time...maybe we can look at the location at the same time!

oh ya.....u were mentioning a poem that you would like to be read at the reception....I'LL DO IT if u need me too......either at the reception or the ceremony.....tis up to you!!! just let me know wut it is ahead of time so i can practice up! haha

also if u wanna go look at and finalize the flowers on a monday or even a wednesday before 1 i am available to do that with you....

ok well i'm off to easter lunch/dinner....so i'll talk to you lata....

Happy Easter.......

Erin

Tuxes and flowers

Sure, I'll pick them up, no problem.

Map

Here's a pretty good map to go to Kopje... It just needs to be printed and then blown up a little. winfield is on the left hand side in the bottom corner and the only thing that is cut off is the traffic light by the lake. Pretty much though, you can just tell everyone to turn onto Oceola and then follow the map.

Have a great Easter Weekend everyone, and good luck on your dresses girls!!!

yussssss!

ok ive got a plan, sam, your coming in tomorrow right? well i was thinking if i could get a ride down there i would go either tonight or tomorrow morning and help out with the dresses as much as i could considering i have to work on saturday *shakes fist* not impressed on that, but im still gonna fly out there right after work. im sure theres more stores open in kelowna that day, the trouble is finding them, ill do a search on the net once im done this and look up stores in kelowna suitable for the occasion. Kopje park looks sweeeeeet! im stoked on that, its a really nice place, has a beautiful view, and lots of parking also do-able for the grandmas. me and keira set the hair appointments if you gals didnt know, by the way sam your hair sounds sweet! keira is there anything else you would like us to help out with while we're all gonna be together?

Let's get this party started....

Hey Everyone!
It's nice to see that things are starting to all fit together...what a relieve especially on the Bride 'n Groom.
Kirsten - Skirts and Shirts are a great possibility.....I'm sure all the bridesmaids are willing to wear whatever Keira chooses....we'll keep our eyes open! Thanks for the heads up about Suzy Shear and Ricki's!
Dave - You're fabulous! Thanks for offering to help set up/take down the chairs; can you also pick up the tuxes and flowers that day???
Ladies - Are we going to try shopping Friday and Saturday??? It's nice to know we won't be as rushed to shop with having Fri, Sat and Monday morning.
Wedding Day/Ceremony - I'm sure we can find places to hide (guys & gals)......I think it's more important for the bride to hide...how is the Bridal party getting to Kopje Park???
Maps- Is it possible to find a map of Kopje Park on mapquest.com or photo copying a page out of a local mapbook?? Check it out!
Ladies- Less than 24 hours and I will arrive in Winfield - are you ready for a funfilled shopping & brainstorming weekend?!? Woohoo!

HAIR!

Oh by the way.....I cut my hair....teehee....I got 5 1/2 inches cut off on Saturday and I had side swipe bangs....still totally possible to do a million up-do's, curly etc with it though.

I'm excited, it's a big change for me!

At your service

Sure, I'll set up chairs, what ever you guys need. I'll do what ever you say all weekend.

I just went through the 150 or so pictures we took and narrowed it down to about 30, with potential.. I'll keep you updated on the invites.

Thanks Matt and Keira for being such good hosts on the weekend, I had a good time. Except i cracked my windshield on the way back... rrrggghh..

Had another thought on music... are you familar with Smokey Robinson and the Miricles?

HI!

Hey bridesmaids..
I was just wondering something... and that is if you considered wearing skirts and nice shirts.. Keira was having some trouble finding some nice dresses. there are some really really pretty skirts at Ricki's that come in different colours. it just may be another option. there are also pretty ones in Suzy Shier.
Shit we are in the middle of having another blizzard.. 2 in the same week. fuuuuck over a foot of new snow.

Ladies Only

Hey ladies, Bill and I went all through the Mall yesterday and found basically nothing for suitable bridesmaid dresses. There was one that was stunning, but $150. most of the rest were black, hot pink or yellow. Except for that dark&light blue one, Tanya, that you tried on in Fairweather.

Anyway the good news is that the mall is open 11-5 on Friday so I bet other stores are too. We just need to find other ladies clothing stores in Kelowna that have the kind of thing we're looking for. Erin.... know of any?

Groomsmen, Don't Skip This Blog

Actually, Kopje park is booked as of just now. Believe it or not, the parks lady and I have missed each other every time, and we've been leaving messages on each others' machines for days. So today I purposely stayed home just to catch her call. I did, and now I feel sooooo good. I won't actually know the cost until April, but oh well.

Anyway the park is a good half-hour out of town, maybe more. But, it's fabulous. Now that we have the location, here are some new considerations:

• We'll have to send out maps
• Dad will use his truck to transport the chairs & table. We'll have to keep them till the next day. Yes, that will cost extra
• We do need a couple people to set up the chairs and then pack them up again after. That should be easy, there are only like 25. Groomsmen?
• We're having the ceremony at the heritage house, but it won't be open yet. So there's nowhere for anyone to get ready or hide.
• That means I'll have to hide out somewhere else (with the bridesmaids?) and once everyone is seated: arrive, get out of the car and down the aisle
• Picking up things from Kelowna might be too much of a squeeze for Erin. I think the men should do it. Men: do you have any plans for that day?

Easter Weekend Etc.

Hey All!
Glad to hear Kopje Park is all booked and ready to go! Woohoo! I saw the pictures and it looks like a beautiful location, which will make for a beautiful ceremony and pictures (with no damn contruction workers). How far of drive is it from the park to OUC??
Chairs - Can you have them delivered to the park or is that more money?? Key does your Dad still have the truck? Can you ask him to pick up and deliver the chairs???
Rehearsal Dinner - Sounds perfect! I'm all for doing a practice and then ordering in or going out. Key & Matt - mentioned other activities for that night also, so maybe pizza or chinese ordered in would be best, let's talk about it this weekend.
Friday - I'm open to anything. Who all is available to do stuff on Friday??
Saturday - I think the bridal party having dinner together on Saturday is an excellent plan for anyone who can make it. Gives us a whole day/night to talk about wedding stuff.
Sunday - I would like to see the family also, if possible, but like i mentioned to Key before, I came up to do wedding stuff so if I don't see anyone besides her,Erin and Jill I'm totally okay with that. Erin - why don't you check with your Mom or whoever is holding the dinner on Sunday and check to see if the 4 of us can come?

Kopjes and Robbers

I saw Kopje, it was awesome. It's quite far away, that's why we didn't find it before. Anyway, if it rains we can all fit on the patio.

I also made the hair appointments for noon. There will be 3 ladies working on us. The price is $40-45 and that's based on a formal updo. My practice do is Saturday April 30; hopefully one or more of you can see it and tell me if it's cool. The number is 766-1200 in case you need it. You must come with clean, product-free, bone-dry hair and wear a button up shirt so you don't fuck up your hair when you change.

Kopje a Feel

So the five of us will do dinner on Saturday? Aunty Cathy is doing a dinner Sunday but I would feel very uncool about four of us showing up uninvited. Is anyone interested in doing an Easter dinner here at the sugarpad? Come one, come all?

Bill and I are going to see Kopje right now so I'll get back to you about it Ang. We have to supply our own chairs, i.e. rent about 30 chairs, transport them, set them up, take them down right after the ceremony, and return them. So that duty gets added to the list. Chair rentals that I priced out before were $3 apiece which is $90+tax. Fucking additional expenses! In case of rain, we'll have everyone bring umbrellas.

Easter Dinner

Hello there......well i heard a little rumor that easter dinner was at auntie colleens but i am not sure what day, i assume sunday...andd if that be the case i wouldn't mind heading over there....its rob's b-day but i think he is going away....so i'd like to catch up with the fam....but i'm waiting to hear back from my mom to see wuts up....

n e ways girls friday i am not working at the salon and i'm available till 6 so let me know and we'll all get togheter we can probably even do the decoration shopping that day cause i am sure EVERYTHING isn't closed....michaels may even be open and maybe some others too otherwise we will go monday....and value villiage is a good idea as well.....

n e ways glad to hear we have a location hope its not too far out and confusing to get too........it'd be nice to take a look at it this weekend....

n e ways keep in touch....

Need a Dance partner???

Check out this dog... amazing!!! http://www.boreme.com/bm/JUL03/a/m_clever_dog/fr.htm

Kopje Park....

Kopje is about 10-15 min from Winfield....so I have been told... (I went the Vernon way, up past Predator Ridge when I went to see it). Keira.... I have tuesday off and will be going through winfield if you want to go check it out and find out how to get there... I have to work at the Kelowna station at 6pm though.. so it would have to be around 4:30 ish. If not then I am off Thursday too.... but then I am gone to the coast for the weekend for a wedding. If you want to take the girls to see it on the weekend then maybe we should try to go tomorrow or thurs. Well let me know... you can reach me at 838-6641 tonight or try my cell.

Did Eve (the lady from kopje) mention anything about whether or not they provide chairs or not?? If not...do you have chairs and how are you going to get them out there??

Easter Feaster

Good question: what are we doing for dinner on Saturday? I made a point of cancelling family easter dinner plans that night so we wouldn't have to rush our one and only shot to do this all together. Should we all have dinner together, or disperse and do our own things, or just play it by ear?

Yes, there is definately going to be a rehearsal. It'll be in the afternoon or evening the day before the wedding. I assume those of us at the rehearsal (bridal party) and friends staying in town will go out to dinner afterwards, or maybe come back to our house and order pizza, or something. It will be dinner time and we'll all be together anyway. But we won't force ya.

I was never planning to have the bridal party do the decorations. But the only decorations are on the tables, and there are only five tables. So, no matter who does them it will take only a few minutes. Let's talk this over this weekend (along with many many other such things).

Yup, Matt's feeling better. He had a big mouthful of bloody gauze the first day, and was really sick. Then he didn't eat much all weekend. But now he's fine except for a bunch of annoying stitches that he gets taken out thursday.

Today is exactly two months until the wedding.

A few more ingredients....

Key - Can you e-mail the contact information for both yours and Matt's female family that has been invited to the wedding.
I need this asap, Thank You!
