We got a lot settled today. We went to the reception venue and had a lot of questions answered, and several tasks removed from our list. We also had an awesome time being kids there as a whole after the meeting part. It is an awesome and nerdy museum, after all.
Progress was made on the dress and measurements after the museum fun. Okay, and then a bit more museum fun.
I hit almost-final detail stages with the catering stuff. Have a follow-up e-mail to send in the morning, already written, with some final questions.
We settled the music selection. Now just need to find proper sheet music for it all, and/or confirm that I have the right keys already.
We settled all the prayers and readings for the wedding, as well as the readers and participants in Mass. I put together the outline our family member priest said to send him.
We confirmed that most of the necessary people can be at the rehearsal time. Just a couple more for me to tell in the morning.
My mom surprised us with a financial contribution that, while not a massive amount of money or anything, was still massively significant and helpful. She expressed that she wanted us to have the celebration we truly wanted, and so was giving us much more than she had originally said she had already planned to give us (which was a surprise in and of itself in the first place). We both are immensely grateful for her love, her kindness, and her sacrifice in love for us.
Thank you, God, for my mom and her love. Thank you for the many accomplishments of today. And thank you for my man, and that he soon will be my husband. Please, keep him safe and well, happy, healthy, holy. In your name, I pray. Amen.
Post-a-day 2023
P.S. God, please, cleanse our bodies with this juice cleanse, and help us to care for ourselves as best possible. Help us to be our best selves and to support one another always in doing that. Thank you. Amen.
