I dunno what the protocol is here with my crazy situation but, I guess I'll give a "run down". Since Ive been instructed that I must give a recap again, i think I'll sign off again.
So Sunday is the BIG day...
Things have kinda cometogether. I had a lil meltdown in the kitchen the other day and things have been better. I told my mom, my husband, my cousin, and my son all about how Im pissed about this wedding make up thing. I said "I feel very sad because no one is taking this thing seriously. All the time, effort, and money just for nothing" then I proceeded to single them out:
@Mom "you want to not bother to wear your dress and return it"
@my son "you acting like you dont want to get a hair cut"
@my cousin "why do you still not have a dress when the wedding was supposed to be a month ago?"
@my husband "you said this was supposed to make up and YOU tried to make it about your mama. Im not having it!!"
Everyone apologized and promised to get on their a-game.
The flowers.... I still had a $200 credit with them and due to guests dropping out, I only have 4 tables. She'll make 4 centerpieces. As far as bouquets, Im thinking Im gonna just head to shop-rite get a few callo lilies and clasp them together, just to say Im holding something. I had the $300 bouquet already and to be honest, it was a waste of my moms $. I dont even love flowers that much to had warrented it the first time much less a second time.
The FOOD, now that is what I'm looking foward to. Im very happy with my brunch menu and Im looking foward to my reggae jams with hubbie on the dance floor. I had one more couple cancel TODAY!!.... really?? whatever man. I guess they feel its better than no-show. At this point its not much different except that I have a cuz of my exhus that I may invite.
I didnt want to resay the vows, but, Im tempted to just do it, with how mad Ive been at him lately, I may need to...LOL.
Friend of mine got a hook up with marriott, so I think we'll get a room for sunday night into monday on the Jersey side of the hudson and just walk Manhatten on Monday.
All the lil details that mattered so much dont seem to matter, now Im just excited to celebrate my marriage with family and friends. Also looking foward to a romantic night with my husband. Maybe even hit the hotel pool or hot tub for a dip.
The photographer MAY even come back to the hotel with us to take a few pics, not sure. He is willing to hang around for an hour or two after its all over and the hotel is right around the corner.
Monday I'll be in with the amature pics and I'll definatly get the Pro pics out as soon as I have them.
Thank you guys so much for being my sound board, receivers of vents, sharers of ideas, confidants, girlfriends, advice givers and spiritual partners. Without you guys I dont know how I would have gotten through these last few months....
A MIL that didnt like me then got cancer... all that came with that
MIL nearly dying and my wedding being cancelled
My surprise last min wedding
My lack of excitement where the reception was concerned
The joy of finally picking out a house
The drama of getting turned down for not 1 but 2 houses
Praying for a new job so I could afford this wedding
Sharing the joy of getting that job
Drama with my sister, who dropped out of being a bridesmaid less than 2 months before
A crazy (dont make me use that word) of an aunt on his side that wrote me a horrible letter

I took two tests this week. Tuesday and yesterday, both said negative. Im going to go enjoy my reception under the assumption that Im NOT pregnant. Monday if Im still without a period, I'll take another test, then off to the doctor I go, regardless of the results
