My mom finally told my family that she needs to be with me as we finish the wedding planning. After my grandmother passed away on feb 20, she was catering to her father (my grandfather) for 3 weeks and it was stressing her out after awhile. And she wanted to be here involved in the wedding planning but it was not working out that way. She finally told my grandfather that she has to be with her daughter to do wedding planning and wedding related stuff. Tomorrow is the bachelorette party!

We met with our new hall wedding coordinator and she was wonderful! She put my mind at ease, she had all the arrangements down by the time we left yesterday and even was able to do things we were originally told NO. After we met with her I told her we were going to go to the wine bar for a glass of wine and show it to my mom (who was with us) and she came up and comp'ed our drinks!

Normally I would be eating terribly too! But Ive been sick twice in 1 month and my grandmother passed away, Ive lost 10lbs since Feb 1 and now I can't lose anymore. With only 8 days to the wedding, there is no more time to alter the gown and it's already borderline loose.

So glad to hear everything worked out with your new wedding coordinator. I'm sure you must be so relieved!

I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother, but it's good that your mom is going to be with you to help out. I know my mom has been a tremendous help, and I don't know what I would do without her.

Yesterday my coworkers completely surprised me with a bridal shower luncheon! We had a faculty meeting scheduled, and on the agenda it said we were doing CORE Math work in the afternoon. I was so shocked when I walked into the library and there were all these people yelling, "SURPRISE!". I was so overwhelmed that I cried. But, it was just wonderful. And now the pile of stuff in the living room that we need to find a home for has grown even more.

I'm not having a bachelorette party. I'm not a drinker, and I don't like to stay out late. (Yes, I am an old fogey sometimes). I hope you have a blast at yours!
