So yesterday I started writing and was realllllly stressed out so the entry I had written was moreso to vent than to post... I don't think it would have been appropriate!! Hahaha... no, really. So anyway, a few things got switched around or added, so that threw off a few things. I was working on the seating chart for no joke, about 5 hours yesterday. I've heard stories about how hard it can be, but didn't really think it would be so bad... boy, was I wrong! Once you move one person, it throws everything off on that table and then the table you move it to, plus balancing people that know each other vs. people that could get along, plus certain people can't sit with certian people, it's a toughie! I mix and matched and finally thought I had it, but then realized my cousin Jason was the only person under the age of like 50 on his table...that's not too fun... so then I had to move everything else around which affected like 10 tables, gah! Finally, I got something, but I must work on it and change it once again-- but at least it's for a good reason--
I was unable to hire Manoa DNA for the cocktail hour because we just didn't have the money as we are already over our budget-- yesterday they emailed me and were inquiring if I still wanted them to play. I felt so bad, but I had to tell them no... they wrote back and said entire DNA clan was willing to try and help me out because they wanted to make it happen. Nick and I are pre-school buddies so our parents and families have been friends a long time. With their generosity along with my awesome dad who offered to chip in and help me have my dream wedding, we now get to have them play! So although it's going to be a pain to reconfigure the seating chart, I think it's worth it.
I wont' go into detail about the other reason I had to move things around, but let me just say this-- to anyone who gets invited to a wedding-- be courteous of the extreme planning that goes into a wedding and the bride and groom-- send in your reply card on time, be respectful of how many guests (if any) they are allowing you to bring and try to be understanding!!! I wont' go into detail...but can't stress the importance of this! It's amazing sometimes- the things that can happen!
And boys are the worst, let me just say--- maybe they don't get it until they get married, maybe it's something in their genetic make-up, IDK! All I'm gonna say right now is thank goodness some of them have girlfriends... I got more accomplished with the girlfirneds in 2 hours last night than I have with them in the last 7 months- NOT exaggerating!
