I'm getting so excited that things are starting to flow well. Our wedding is a bit complicated in that we live in FL and our wedding is in VA.
1. First thing falling into place is FI hasn't done his bachelor party yet because most of his groomsmen are in VA and he didn't want to make everyone travel here, especially when he really wanted to go to Atlantic City. So the weekend before the wedding he is flying up and his groomsmen are picking him up from the airport and heading straight to AC. The best part about this is my aunt and uncle recently built a house on the Jersey shore about a half hour from AC....they are generously letting FI and his GM stay there for free! HIs GM are chill (aka all married to jealous wives) so their ideal b-party is golf and drinking beers on a patio so it'll be perfect for that and then getting car service to AC one night to have something a little more wild. Maybe I'm weird to be excited that my FI is getting his ideal b-party but I think it is important.
2. The big thing about us having the wedding in VA was it had to be near the airport since my side would travel. Well, it is which means where FI grew up in the country is an hour away. When we go up for Labor Day for one of my BM's wedding, her wedding is near our venue but we are staying with FI's parents an hour away. Well my awesome catering manager and coordinators are taking time out of their busy Saturday schedules to meet us right before my friend's wedding for our final meetings so we can save a trip out there on Sunday...it is perfect.
3. I am doing real touch flowers because the flowers I really wanted (anemones) were out of season. This also cut on my delivery cost because we can pick them up earlier in the week. I fly in Tuesday before the wedding and we are staying with FI's parents until Thursday to save on hotel costs. So to save me a trip my florist is going to have the flowers ready for me on my way from the airport to FI's parents house on Tuesday. This is also a huge relief because God forbid something is wrong there are still 4 days to fix it. We hope to get our marriage license Labor Day weekend too so it would mean all of Wednesday before the wedding I can get things done at FI's parents house instead of being in the car all day.
Logistics of all this has been the hardest part so it is such a relief to have things working out. Anyone else getting some moments of relief?
