Hey guys, so sorry for my lazy in not writing. My brain has been completely fried trying to get so many things done now that everything has been moved up. Weird cause my brain is sizzling with all this extra info but my fingers are frozen from this insanely cold office!
Since everone seems to be a bit confused about the details of the wedding I'll clear it up here:
We are getting married on Sept 19th, 2004 which is on a Sunday. We are not getting married upstate but in the city. Not sure what time or exactly where since being a Sunday it might be hard for us to find a KH nearby. We'll see. I'll let you all know. After the honeymoon we will probably come back for a few days (to get my name changed) and then we are leaving for Sweden. That is where the apartment I was talking about is. Guess that is it. If you have any questions, let me know.
The weekend: Friday was wonderful. We went swing dancing at Lincoln Center and met up with a few friends. It was fun teaching Ronny how to swing and I have to say he did really good!!!! After about a 15 min lesson he was doing the basic Lindsey Hop. I was proud of him. The coolest thing was that there were a TON of witnesses and we met a lot of new people. I have to tell you this experience: Ronny was about to introduce me to this sister (I had my back turned) and I turn around and she says "Nice to meet you." Then suddenly both her and my eyes pop out of our heads with recognition. It was a sister I havent seen in 2 years and lost contact with!!! We screamed like banshees and hugged till neither one of us could breathe. To say the least it was really nice to see her.
Saturday we went to do some wedding stuff. We picked out Ronny's tux!!!! Its sooo nice. Its black with tails and an ivory vest and tie. He's going to look soooo handsome! I cant wait to see him in it. I finally tried on a few wedding gowns (to get an idea of what I want). That was the first time I ever tried on any. They weigh a TON! But it was fun anyways. We picked out new less expensive invitations and will be ordering them soon. So that is going well.
OMG!!!!! IM SO EXCITED!!!! I just got some AWESOME news. I called my friend at Bethel to find out about how I could find a KH that is available that day and she said to find out what congs have an assembly that day. So I call the assembly hall and they tell me circuit 38a. I call Bethel and they give me the names of the congregations in that circuit and one of them is the Spanish in MY KH!!!!!! I was so happy I almost cried. I'll probably get to be married in MY KH!!!! I hope you understand that. The Bleecker Spanish has a time slot on the Sunday of my wedding that I can probably use. Just have to ask their elders. Oh God Im so happy! Anyways, where was I? Oh yes so that was Saturday. Sunday was cool. Just went to the meeting and chilled at home afterward. Last night was awesome! We went to see the NY Philharmonic (classical music) in Central Park last night for free. We layed out a blanket and listened to the beautiful music under the stars. Couldnt be more romantic.
Have some more good news: I found out that JCPenny and Bed Bath and Beyond ship gifts internationally! I have been stressing about that for a while cause most places dont. See, my mom is telling people to give us money cause we cant afford to ship everything over ourselves but I know if we get nothing but cash we will spend it before we buy things we need for the house. So its going to be a bit different but the registry will work for those stores. You can go online, pick what you want to get but have to call the international number and give them the Sweden address (his moms) to send it to. I havent set it up yet but when I do I'll let everyone know. I was really worried that I wouldnt be able to even get any lingerie since ALL my money is going to wedding stuff. So now I think I can safely pick a few things.
Anyways, that is it for now. Love you guys!
