Hello and welcome!

I live in Montreal, Quebec, and my first language is French.

May I insist on the fact that I love getting comments?

Wedding To-do

This is more of a reminder/progress monitoring post for myself... I find that's quite long, even for such a simplified celebration...

My Attire
-Send dress to mom (done!) to have it altered
-Purchase extra fabric and lace (mom's job)
-Purchase shoes (depending on color, which in itself will be determined by season)
-Purchase sash or have mom buy fabric and make one (depending on color as well)
-Make big flower headpiece out of tulle, netting and such

Guys' Attire
-Convince M to finally buy that great Ben Sherman suit he's been eyeing for a while (tie optional, whatever he likes) and will wear all the time afterward
-Purchase matching Converse or Vans for my boys (LP already has some kind of a suit with a Ben Sherman shirt!)

Venue
-Try to book the place we have in mind, which will also set the date in stone (owner not in any hurry to return calls or emails apparently)
-Discuss and arrange details (food and drink, decor, hooking up the iPod, "photo booth", kids' corner, etc.)

Ceremony
-Find officiant
-See if the city requires a permit or anything similar for the place we have in mind (don't think so)
-Come up with Plan B in case of bad weather (at the venue, for instance)

Miscellaneous
-Have M design invitations, print and send them
-Come up with playlist
-Book photographer (done!), discuss details
-Discuss options (depending on season) and details with the wholesaler florist I've dealt with while doing the flowers for other weddings
-Buy M's ring (already have one in mind, but keep forgetting to measure his finger)
-Are we doing favors?
-Cupcakes?
