Remember what this blog was originally set up for? Back in 2005, when we got engaged, it was a way for us to keep family & friends updated as to wedding details and as a keep sake for us as well.
On May 27th, we celebrated our third wedding anniversary. There is this….box that just sits at the bottom & back of our freezer: that we pretty much forgot about. This year, Rick & I remembered to TAKE THE CAKE OUT OF THE FREEZER. Yep. It’s part of our wedding cake. Meant to be eaten – or something – on our 1st wedding anniversary (does anyone actually do that???). Our plan this year: for the birds to feast upon!
*THE* cake, in all its glory…
There it is…out & defrosting…
It’s not in bad shape after three years. The flowers are no longer white. It was nice to see it again actually. Brought back happy memories.
Sophie has no idea what Daddy is taking a picture of, just that she wants in the shot…
Here it is…ready for the wildlife…I must say it still smelled really good. I can happily say there was a huge army of ants making short work of it shortly after…marching two by two…hoorah hoorah…
Not sure who or what else devoured it: a couple of days later we found the plate overturned in our herb garden below. Hope it was tasty!

I have been busily checking off the final things on the wedding to do list - with 3 weeks to spare. I want to get all the things in my control completed and ready to go so that we can handle the situations out of our control. Tonight I finished packing up all the reception items to go to our storage. It feels so good to have that done. Only a few extra things to purchase and the food. I finally have my room back and can now get into my closet...

If you are planning on booking hotel, or even if you are just considering it, please do it soon! We only have a limited number of rooms in the block for May 26th and 27th (which will be released April 27th), and the availability is tight for the 25th and 26th right now. I haven’t checked any other dates, but when I saw that I thought I better let you all know. There is something going on in this city…because I thought our room rate was high for Halifax, and then I started checking other hotels in the area. Holy expensive! The group rate at the Lord Nelson is one of the lowest rates…unless you want to stay outside the downtown, and that’s not so convenient, esp. if you plan to have a few libations. ;) If you are still undecided on the hotel, I suggest making a reservation and cancelling before their deadline if you decide you do not want it afterall.
If anyone needs hotel reservation help please let me know.
Also, April 15th is fast approaching, so if you haven’t RSVP’d yet, please do ASAP. Even if you can’t come, just let us know. We have guests confirmed coming from all over the world, so we will not assume just because you live outside of Nova Scotia that you can’t make it. We need to get the food amount on the go, so let us know. :)

…and I am very happy with it! This one is far longer than I ever thought I’d want a veil…but it lays much flatter and does not even compare to the first one I bought. I can’t believe they were both $39! This one has beautiful flower embroidery and I will add the light sapphire crystals to it. I have e-mailed the other company about returning my other veil, but for the price I doubt it will be worth returning. I’ll just sell it on my own. The company I ordered my new veil from would like a photo of me in the veil for their website. I am happy to oblige another small business owner.
I also finished the favours tonight…I had to wait a few days to work on them again as I ran out of ink in the printer, thanks to all the printing I have been doing. ;) So, after receiving a big fat residual cheque from the tourism commercial that was shot last year, tonight was the night to pick some up! :) I love US wildspots…big money! That 5 hours of work in Feb 2005 has proven very lucrative to me. Who doesn’t want to make money sitting around and doing nothing. LOL…what a pleasant surprise when these hit my mailbox.
I’m about to print out the “recipes” for the DIY Bar. Will say no more than that… ;)
Now I’m off to do my pilates abs workout!

Rick & I headed out today to gather the contents for the wedding favours. It was a lot easier than we expected, and they are almost done already! I just have to label them. The labels have been done for ages, so tomorrow I’ll stick ‘em on.
We also had some luck picking up a few other items…totally not trying. We found 12oz plastic cups for the bar, the perfect bins for the silverware (stackable and totally reusable…and only $8 for 8…surprisingly not from the Dollarstore, but the Superstore!), two electric blue ice buckets, half price, and two wine chillers (for the head table), also blue, also half price and also from the Superstore! Gotta love it. :)
So now we are going to settle down, do our marriage prep assignments over a glass of wine and some strawberries…might sound dull to some of you, but to us, a very nice way to spend a Saturday night! ;)
