Or 2, 3 if you count my engagement ring. Yesterday, after our menu tasting and walk through with the coordinators, we ordered our rings (and my veil and earrings too)! YEY! And I got an email from our ketubah artist that our ketubah has been shipped. YEY! A week from this Monday, we can bring our Domestic Partnership in to the City Clerk's office and credit what we spent on it towards our marriage license! Wow, the wedding is in 36 days. That's not even 5 weeks.
Now, I need to confirm our appointments to go over the ceremony with the rabbi. Call the counselor he suggested and set up 1-2 sessions of pre-marital counseling (we've talked to her on the phone and she doesn't think it'll take us longer than that to go through her checklist since we're "so open and honest, even on the phone").
It is also TIME TO GET CRAFTING! I need to figure out who's doing what so that we can print the programs and make them, as well as who's coming so that we can make table assignment cards, work on welcome bags, and order and print/attach the labels for the insides of the yarmulkes. What else.... Buy balloons and sunscreen, order foundation garments, take Ben to get his suit tailored and help him pick out a tie. Ribbon wands, those need some TLC too, but their Ben's job since he doesn't want bubbles (he's afraid I'll stain my dress and won't be able to dye it and rewear it in March).
Dress fitting, that's the missing piece. I think it'll be the Friday of Kol Nidre. Weird juxtaposition, but my friend from synagogue is coming with me and that's when she's available. Hopefully my veil and earrings will be in by then too. I ordered 2 pairs of earrings, but both came in under $20, so I'll resell them or wear them some other time. I'm apparently picky about my pears and crystals being on gold and of all the millions of earrings only found 2 that were pretty AND affordable. Damn expensive jewelry!
