So...you guys know me...nothing is ever simple, but we're almost there!!! We have 3 weeks and some change until June 10th, our date. So far, we have almost everything pulled together except for some last-minute decorations and crafty things.
My family still aren't coming. My mother at least wrote to tell us she will be there in spirit. I guess that is something. His stepfather also had to back out this week, but that was unrelated to us and unavoidable. We've had a couple of other cancelations on our guest list, again, not related to us, but more schedule conflicts.
I had to laugh today, though, at the irony considering that we wanted to just run off with the kiddos and elope and planned a wedding instead because so many people said they wanted to be there. Turns out that we're almost eloping anyhow.
I tried to gently nudge some of his guy friends to plan a bachelor party, even saying I'd secretly foot the bill. It's his first wedding and I was hoping they'd throw him one. That didn't work out, but he'll never know.
All in all, I'm shrugging at this point and saying, "As long as we show up...it will all work out."
