Photos and other miscellany

We got the rolls of film and a CD from Gary and Tracie today. He's already put some up so head over to Gary's photo site. We'll go develop the rolls and post them up as well eventually.

Also we have an anonymous gift. It was a sandwich maker and baking pans. If this was your gift let us know so we can send you a thank you card.

Our apartment is looking pretty messy what with boxes and my stuff everywhere. Hopefully it gets cleaned up which it will because I haven't found a job yet.

Married!

Well no one ran away to Vegas and the JP didn't screw up the paperwork, so we're good and legally married.

Nothing's really different yet. Our apartment is crowded with gifts and we might play some games tonight. But on the other hand I just said "our apartment" and Daorcey will not have to drive me home at 2 a.m. after gaming. And I did ask Daorcey what he wanted for breakfast tomorrow (defrosted Montreal bagels).

The wedding was nice and went really smooth. It was nice to come to the Nordic Centre and see the beautiful centerpieces and know people had eaten some tasty hors d'oeuvres.

Big, huge, gianormous thanks to everyone who helped out behind the scenes. The work you put into this made the day something Daorcey and I will never forget.

I hope to see you all very soon.

On a final note, people always asked me before the wedding if I was excited. I always replied I was more excited to be married rather than become married. And I can already see I was right.

And a final, last note: photos to come soon. I think we will have a billion photos to post very shortly.

Last chance to run...

No running on my part--just a bunch of packing. It's just a bit more than 24 hours to go and everything seems pretty much under control. While our JP was trying to be helpful and save us the cost of doing a rehearsal, I've been insistant this morning, so it will still happen if not a tad later this evening.

Hope everyone had a nice Canada day. I wore a pin. Natalie's friend from Texas was amazed that nobody had flags out... yeah. And then we were watching the news and watched the annual burning of the Canadian Flag in Quebec. I love this country.

Live 8 from Barrie is on. Wow, Dan Ackroyd looks old. Nice Tom Cochrane.... I'd better go back to packing...

I have a wedding to get to.

Bachelorette party

Last night me and the girls celebrated with wine and a chocolate fountain. The fountain was a big hit but why wouldn't it be with chocolate and fruit. We got a great deal through Anna's friends who run Sweetly Speaking. Then we played the match game. Mary and Anna came up with some great questions to stump my friends like how many pairs of penguin socks I own, how many bound editions Daorcey and I own together and what is our favourite store to shop at. Nicole came in first and I think Anna was second. Next was creating a wedding dress out of toilet paper. With several engineers and Mel's fashion degree it turned out really well for a toilet paper dress. There was even a veil and detailing.

After we just sat around and talked. So not as geeky as Daorcey's party but still fun. Pictures to come soon.

Three days to go...

Environment Canada long term forcast: Mix of sun and clouds. High 18/Low 5. An improvement over the 60% chance of precipitation it called for yesterday. Things are looking good.

Now that I'm on this pennicillin prescription, I'm feeling a tad better. It has some side effects... but those are only passing. Ah, the drama.

I'm not too stressed. Things are coming together nicely. I'm really looking forward to dinner on Sunday, actually. This may be a bit of a spoiler, but for the vegetarians in the group, we have shrimp and scallops over risotto. Soooo tasty.

My boss gave Natalie and I a present today. Seeing as he hates weddings, it's a total surprise. He said that when he picked up the book he got for us, he was even surprising himself.

Since this post is full of random, I might as well direct you to a fantastic new blog. You know Rick Mercer? Well, he's just started up a new blog and it makes me happy. BTW, Rick Mercer's Monday Report has been moved to a different day of the week... I wonder if they'll change the name...
