These past few days have been a madhouse with my parents around!! But at least Kris & I managed to get the drinks sorted out, and managed to get his suit picked up!! Oh, we were told to come by on Thursday night to collect them, OMG there were so many people getting fitted!!! It's like a wedding frenzy is about to take place all of a sudden in Perth!!! Then again, it IS spring!!We managed to get the sisters' gifts sorted, the jewellery for the mothers... mom didn't want any... so, we told her not to insist on paying for staying at our place... After all, she did chip in with the groceries & she bought everything else that Bak (and her) wants to nibble on.
I finally did all the printing for the programmes/ceremony booklets, etc etc... The ink seems to be stretching it out for us... and I'm truly grateful... Oh, and truly grateful for Les to be lending his printer out to us for the past month & again for another month to be used for the wedding's printing. We've already got an extra pair of cartridges, but I think we'll need to get another set soon. Well, after all, he DID give it to us with a new ink placed in there.
Thursday we got Claire home to start out with all the cakes & stuff. We've also sent my parents back to Aunty Ros' place - well, cos my in-laws are staying with us now. Yeah, they came like at 2am on Friday morning.
Anyway, we had a lot of running around right after that!! We picked Claire up to get all the cake & grocery bits for her cooking... And when we got back home late, Kris' dad was pissed off cos we got them lunch at 4pm!! PFFFTT!!! We only had a tonne of things to do, dad!! At least we got them dinner... And we had to pick my parents for a meeting-dinner. And at least my parents were helping out in the kitchen!!
Oh, and in all the frenzy of plans changing (Claire needed to pick up her keys from her new job & so we detoured to Vic Park - and it only took us an extra 1.5hrs), we couldn't make it in time to get the keys from the council!! I had to call the after-hours council hotline to get the security guy to remember to open up our venue on time!! F**K!!! Nothing's going right!!
And then now, it's already midnight... and I can't sleep cos there's so much to do & Claire is pulling an all-nighter for these next 3 nights!!! And we still have to go pick my sis & hubby up from the airport!! Kris & I are like living in the airport!! We've been there 3x in less than 1mth!!
And there's so much to do after we drop my sis, etc at Canning Vale to unpack!! ~sigh~ better go rest for 15mins before I go on with my work... oh God GIVE ME STRENGTH!!
