Sorry I missed posting last week. We are seriously down to the wire and have so many things going on that it’s tough to get a spare minute!
In the time since I last posted, we have made our seating plan, created the floor plan for the YWCA, paid the YWCA, talked with our photographer about what shots we want and purchased one of the two groomsmen gifts.
On Wednesday, we got our marriage license. Before we went in, Rob filled out some of the information on-line to make the transaction a little smoother. The lady looked over the information and then said to me, “Your last name is different from both your parents’?” And I said, “What? No.” And she said, “You’re listed here as ‘Jenks’.”
Yup, Rob typed my last name is as Jenks.
Then she printed out the information and told me to have a look at it to make sure nothing else was wrong. And I said, “Well, Franklin has a ‘g’ on the end of it.”
Yup, Rob typed in our county as Frankling.
Then we had to take an oath to swear that we weren’t any closer kin than second cousins and that we weren’t under the influence of drugs or alcohol. With the way Rob filled the information out, I’m pretty sure she thought that at least he was.
This last week is going to be insane. I’m working Sunday through Wednesday, but thankfully I’ll be home fairly early each night. There’s going to be some massive house cleaning going on, considering that Wednesday after work I’m stopping to pick up Rob’s sister Megan and her boyfriend Michael at the airport. They will be staying with us for the rest of the week.
Still left to do:
• Buying bottled water, beer, wine and alcohol
• Printing out photos of Rob’s mom for our memorial table
• Finalizing our rehearsal dinner details and catering details
• Buying that last groomsmen gift
• Procuring several boxes of white Christmas lights (thank goodness that Target thinks Halloween and Christmas happen on the same day)
• Looking into buying a wrap or shawl (it’s getting pretty cold out!)
• Buying posterboard to write out our seating chart
• Printing our programs and table greetings
• Making centerpieces
and
• Preparing our final payments for the wedding day
It acutally seems like a fairly manageable list. I hope we don’t forget anything.
