Wow. Long time no post—and lots to talk about…
Since I last wrote about my wedding planning, many things have happened.
- We have a location: The Old Mill in Toronto. The room we’ve got is gorgeous and if there’s snow, it’ll be even prettier.
- We spoke with the chef at The Old Mill to make sure that our vegetarian entries are excellent.
- We plan on using one of the officiants at The Old Mill, but off the hour and in the room we’re having the reception catered in later that evening.
- We have a DJ, but we haven’t picked songs that we must hear or don’t want to hear.
- We’re debating the use of a professional photographer. (Is it bad etiquette for the groom to take his own digital camera to take pictures of his reception-goers, or do you think that I’ll just be too busy?) This is a serious question because we’ve got AM’s cousin who can do nice photography, but we want her to just have fun during the evening, too. And even though I’ve got a lead on someone local who would give us a great deal, it’s still very expensive in the end.
- I received the printed invitations in the mail today. They are stunning. Props to Canadian Wedding Treasures for a great job.
- AM has her dress; I have chosen the style of suit that I will be wearing in general; I hope to be going to Tom’s Place of Kensington Market and Korry’s of Greektown in the next two or three weeks to pick out the suit, although I won’t order it until the end of October (either right before or right after RubyConf 2006).
