Entries tagged with “moving” from Prom to Altar
Last night, just before the stroke of midnight we moved the last of our things out of our old apartment and turned in the keys. A lot has happened in our two years on Market St, while living under the words 'Always Desirable'. That place is full of good memories, and it was sad to close the door on the empty apartment. Many more good things await us at the new place, I know-- we just have to unpack about 100 boxes first.I feel like we've been neglecting wedding business, but this weekend we've got a lot on tap. Tonight we are headed back to Albany-- I have a dress fitting (does anyone know where I can buy Spanx? Like, tonight or before 10 tomorrow morning?), and a hair trial and I hear that Patrick has his bachelor party. We're also meeting with the cantor who is singing at our ceremony-- she's an old friend of Patrick's and his family, I can't wait to meet her. The first time we called her to ask her to sing for our wedding she did a few numbers over the phone-- love it.

The wedding blog I started reading this morning, got sucked into, and thus was a bit late for work because of:
$2,000 Wedding
We could never pull this off (did you catch that bit about how we have nearly 100 people with just aunts/uncles/spouses and first cousins/spouses?), but the story of how they did it is inspiring. Sara and Matt's wedding was extremely personal, and looks like a whole lot of fun.
Of course, we are breaking lots of her rules with our wedding (sit down dinner, DJ, actual wedding dress, no ping pong table), but hey-- as much as we love campfires and boardgames, we also really like to get dressed up and celebrate in a slightly fancy way. As far as I'm concerned, either way is a great way to mark a special event. Whatever works for you.

The move is almost complete-- we have found no more love for U-Haul, but more and more love for our very helpful friends, who have been gung-ho about helping us every step of the way, even amid their own stressful situations (and most times in the rain).
A little bit of clean up and another carload to take care of the dregs left at the old place, and that's that. Well, besides the massive amount of unpacking and settling in to do at the new place. How did so much stuff come out of that tiny apartment? We are loving the new place, though-- it's so sunny and inviting, even when it's decorated in cardboard boxes. I can't wait for it to be all set up.
As for the wedding, RSVPs are coming in (and there have only been a couple small riots over the guest list as invitations have been received. Same answer to everyone about big family/limited space/limited budget... still, it's hard to keep the guilt at bay), payments due are coming up, and every day this wedding is getting more and more real. This coming weekend it's back to Albany for a dress fitting and a hair/make up trial. We haven't been to Albany in two weeks-- they must be wondering what happened to us!
So many things to write about and only 5 minutes at a time to devote to this blog... perhaps by the end of the week I'll have time to talk about our cake topper, or the name change question, or the favor indecision...
p.s. In case you missed the update to a previous post.... comments are working again! Thank you, Patrick.
