One final thought
I'm sure most of you are either currently en route, or packing to be en route, or heck, may already be here.
Therefore I shall keep this short and sweet.
One word to describe this week:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
That is all.

Wow
Two weeks from today and Ed and I will be packing for the Bahamas, and I will officially be Mrs. Shannon Vossler.
Mrs.?!?! If someone were to call me Mrs. today, I'd prolly whirl on them and say "who do you think you're callin MRS??!?!" But alas, 2 weeks from yesterday will make me a Mrs.
That's just weird.
But back to the purpose of me actually posting:
Everyone is being wonderful. Hands down, period, no questions asked.
As to be expected, a few little things have fallen through/apart/had minor problems with... BUT
I am truly realizing that Ed and I aren't on our own to completely figure them out.
Things like...
...a bridemaids dress not fitting right. I don't even know the details, nor will I probably ever HEAR the details. She's dealing with it herself and not letting me worry about it. Andrea's a trooper and I know she'll a) look fabulous and b) have one ridiculously hilarious story to tell as a result.
...another bridesmaid having to change all of her flights... again, it's not being thrown on me to help her change her reservations, etc. One of my other bridesmaids has even volunteered to go down to Providence to meet their flight and make sure they get back to the city ok. Meg and Angy, you girls are the best.
...favors showing up and not being quite what I expected them to look like. On a night when I was "dragged" out to an Irish festival, yet another of my bridesmaids volunteered to completely re-sticker all the bubble containers. Rita's super creative like that, and I know she'll do a great job.
...my guitarist backing out on me. This is a big one, and still unresolved, but I have the best music director in the whole wide world -- Tim Westerhaus -- who somehow over lunch today COMPLETELY calmed my spazzing bum down, regardless of the fact that the situation is still unsolved. He also managed -- in the one hour after lunch, and running in between rehearsals -- to find an IRISH WHISTLE player to be one of the solo instruments at the wedding. Not only is Tim an amazing musician and worship leader, but also an amazingly tenderhearted man who is such a calming presence and joy to be around.
I guess the point of all of this is the realization that I had a long time ago -- not everything in this wedding is going to go perfectly. But for the first time in a while, it's really sinking in that Ed and I and our parents aren't entirely alone in this whole figuring stuff out / planning phase. It's time for the control freak (aka ME) to step back and really take a look around at how much all of our friends and family are busting their bums to make this day awesome for us.
We truly are blessed to have all of our friends and family willing to give up a weekend to spend with us in Boston. We recognize and realize that every single person who will be there on that Saturday morning is giving up something to be there. And we are ridiculously appreciative of all the lengths that everyone is going through to make our day special.
We can't wait to see you, and love you all, and will have so much fun in TWO WEEKS!
AAAAAAAA two weeks!
WOO HOO!
Feel free to call/email us at any time, should you have any questions whatsoever.
Again, we love you and wish you all save travels.

Isn't the Bride wonderful!
Ok, I'll admit it that our weekend will be wonderful because of Shannon. She actually provided me a list of things I have to do this week to make sure everything is set for the wedding. This was a list of things I told her I had to do and she took took the time to write them out for me. If it wasn't for her organizational skills I'm sure many of the guests would be wondering around Boston dazed and confused. Thank you beautiful for being on top of things.
PS - I now know the sign when Shannon has reached the limits of her patients. The phrase "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!" comes out of her mouth. Don't worry, it wasn't related to the earlier comments about the list or even directed at me for that matter. I just found it really, really funny!

RSVP Por Favor!
If you are reading this and have not yet RSVPed to our wedding -- yay OR nay -- please do so RIGHT NOW.
We need to give numbers to caterers, etc., and need to know either way.
PLEASE.
Thank you!

New DJ
So yeah, I called to confirm a meeting with our DJ and found out his wife is having an affair on him with a live in boyfriend. As a result, I think we are now in the market for a new DJ. I feel bad for the guy, but I keep having visions of the Wedding Singer where he has a mental break down at a wedding after wedding went bust. So I'm open to any recommendations/referrals any one may have.
