October 2012 Weddings

Weekend Plans

I know it's only thursday, but I figure it's never too early to start looking forward to the weekend.  What's everyone doing this holiday weekend? Achi, is Monday a holiday for you?

I won't be on at all this weekend. My family is involved in a re-enactment that takes place every Labor Day weekend. So I get to go back in time 200 years.  For those of you in the Columbus and Cincinatti areas (it's not really that far of a drive) it's called The Fair at New Boston, if youw would want to come.  I get to dress in 18th century costume and tend bar as a tavern wench in the Black Horse tavern. It's going to be really different this yearto mark the bicentenial of the War of 1812. Though the British didn't really come this far south (Springfield Ohio), they did hold Fort Detroit so we're going to have the British flag above our fort. 
   Unfortunately the remains of Isaac are supposed to come through the area this weekend. I'm hoping it goes around us. Our event takes place on a field, and while it takes place rain or shine...a wet, muddy field isn't always the most fun. My dad is an amputee and for this event he wears a peg leg. In years when it's been really muddy he's gotten stuck (a real stick in the mud...lol). 

What are you doing this weekend, WR or NWR?

Re: Weekend Plans

  • Friday night I have a retirement HH, then meeting up with a CW/Friend and her family.  Now that our SOs work for the same company, so it's time the finally meet, and I want to see her new BABY!

    Saturday - I have no idea.  FI is towing until 3, so I'll probably do laundry, clean, maybe go to BJs.  Then we meet with our Pastor that's marrying us at 7.

    Sunday - Again, no idea.  I might see if the liquor store is open and getting that ordered for the wedding.  And then go shopping for our WP gifts.

    Monday - No idea.  I might talk parents into a BBQ.  FI might work Monday night, since Sunday night is his Monday...

  • Best of luck with the bad weather!

    I don't think I have much WR planned. Part of me's thinking about starting on doing just the names for escort cards, but eh. Who knows.

    Otherwise, brunch with FI at a place we've been meaning to try and a dinner party with some friends. I may also try and take my half-day tomorrow (woo-hoo!) to figure out a "groom's cake" option that I'm toying with, but the more I think about it, the more I think it may not work. I'll be sure to keep everyone posted when it's something more concrete than me hemming and hawing.

  • Friday: after work we are going to meet with our mortgage broker

    Saturday: probably relaxing, baking some test cupcakes with my fiance and shopping for his outfit for a friends wedding

    Sunday: whatever we didn't finish on Saturday!  and hopefully just spending some quality time alone with my fiance.
  • Not a holiday weekend for me. FI is working all weekend. I start teaching Monday morning.

    I'll spend the weeking prepping for my classes. Frown

  • Friday- having a get together with a small group of friends, we do this once a month

    Saturday- after an early gym session with my trainer, heading to my parents for an all day fun fest of jarring homemade pasta sauce--yes thats right we will be cutting 20 boxes of 25 lbs each plum tomatoes, cooking & jarring...its a tradition, we do it every year around this time.

    Sunday/Monday- no idea yet, i would like to get some wedding stuff done esp start putting together OOT bags and cutting the tags and attaching them, finish picking out entrance music and i need to burn our photos onto a cd for the DJ so we can drop it off on our way to our final florist appt next weekend.

    Monday is also my sister's birthday, so im sure we will celbrate in some way along with my grandmother's on Sept 1st and FI's whose birthday was last weekend-im thinking a bbq at my parents or something...we will see!
  • Friday night is date night for us!  Due to all the pre-wedding parties and other events over the last few weekends, I feel like I haven't spent quality time with FI in a long time.

    I don't have any plans Saturday--running some errands maybe, have a few things to discuss with FI before he leaves for the afternoon/evening, and then I have the house to myself.  I may catch up on some trashy reality tv, lol.

    Sunday-Monday I'm going to visit my mom in NY.  I'm really looking forward to some girl time!!

  • Friday - seeing J. Geils Band (of "Centerfold" one hit wonder fame) play downtown at the Buffalo harbour. FI got free tickets and a whole bunch of food & drink vouchers through a work connection.

    Saturday - going to the Buffalo Wing Festival downtown... no place for wings like Buffalo! Again, FI got hooked up with tickets through work. At night, a HS friend is coming to take me to dinner, since she was unable to make it to my shower earlier this month.

    Sunday - Labor Day picnic with FILs, details TBD. 

    Monday - FI has off, so we'll probably find something fun and/or productive to do. We might have a "dressed up" dinner somewhere downtown to end my summer vacation, as staff reports back to school on Tuesday with kiddos on Wednesday.
  • Well we have all 3 kids this weekend.  They'll be staying with my Mom Friday night though.  My FI dj's the BlueBerry Festival's "BlueBerry Idol" karoake contest.  I'll be there doing the photography.  Then Saturday we'll get the kids & I'll be in full wedding mode.  I have lots of flowers left to make, candles that need painted, thank you cards to do for the bridal shower, & just little things like washing the new glasses.  Sunday we have a cook out at FI's Moms house, Hot air ballon glow & fireworks that night, then Monday FI is in the Blueberry Festival parade & my son will be in it with his Dad.  I'll be on the sidelines watching with the girls.  Then maybe some Festival Food for lunch & relaxing time at home!

  • Busy busy weekend for me!  I am flying back to IA on Friday.  Sat my BMs are throwing me a shower in the afternoon then we are going to DSM for a "bachelorette" party.  Probably nothing too big, but I'm not included on any planning so I have no idea!  Sunday we are throwing my BM a baby shower!  I fly back late on Monday.  Somewhere in between, I need to squeeze in visiting with all the men in my family!  ha I'm so looking forward to it because I haven't seen my family in 6 months!

     What am I NOT doing?!  Apparently trying on my dress and taking it back with me!  (Sorry it's still a fresh wound!)

  • i broke my wrist on sunday so i am going for surgery on friday, after that i have no idea yet on what i will be doing since they wont tell me what to expect til i go in for surgery tomorrow. FI is suppose to help his friend move on Saturday, and he might be going out to dinner with his family to celebrate his sisters birthday (i might go just depends on how i feel). Sunday should be a day to just relax and monday FI will be headed back to work.

  • Ack jwrenne! I hope that goes well for you!

    I'm in the same boat as Alisha, only just two kids :) We will have both our 12 year olds. I think tomorrow night I am sending the kids skating, so I can have some time with FI. I am feeling needy for face to face attention.

    Saturday - my family is all coming in for lunch at a Tex Mex place to celebrate Grandmother's birthday (she will be 82 on Tuesday). Then all the woman (and my two kids) will head to where my friend is hosting a sprinkle for me Smile I am really excited, for the sheer opportunity to hang out with my family and not be WORKING on anything! The first college football game I want to see is at 9:30 that night - so I will be up late. (Boomer Sooner!)

    Sunday and Monday - no real plans. We will probably be in church Sunday and just rest the remaining part of the extended week-end.

    FMIL had to email me this morning and say "lots of nice things have been purchased off your registry". (Because it wasnt tempting enough to look without you saying that!)

    FI wants to do house stuff the rest of the weekend....clean the gutters, power wash the deck.....

  • Saturday morning, the guys are getting fitted at the Tux shop, Saturday afternoon we are going to a Husker-Southern Miss Football game in Lincoln, dinner afterward, Sunday is my day to sleep in and be lazy, and Monday, we are meeting with our photographer to discuss some wedding details.  Being a Holiday, the photographer wouldn't normally schedule us, but since its the only day that works for me due to my job, they set it up.
