The best laid plans of mice and men...

We had a big wedding-filled day planned yesterday. We were headed to the museum for the tasting with our caterer and had planned the day around that to get a lot accomplished. Unfortunately none of it happened. 

On the way there, we went to the LCBO to get our Special Occasion Permit. Because we are serving alcohol on the patio during the cocktail hour, letters need to be sent to the city, the fire department, the police and health department.  I know I need to sent these letters but I didn't know I needed to bring copies of them with the application for the SOP. So we will need to come back for that.

Then we were off to the museum for our tasting.  It was nice that it was held at the same place we are having the wedding because D had yet to see it.  It was smaller than he expected.  They had all the tables set up and dressed differently so that we could see the different linens etc. that are available.  We will be sticking with our original plan of ivory tablecloths and no chair covers to keep the costs down.

The tasting itself was lovely, a little slower paced than we would have liked. When you are at a table of people you don't know and will never see again, time seems to crawl. The highlight of the lunch was that I swear that the host of Wedding SOS was there.  But there were not any cameras and her assistant wasn't there and she didn't have her little dog with her, so maybe it wasn't her - but the the resemblance was uncanny, she even had the English accent!  At some point during the main course, D started to not feel well and before dessert was served he had to go out and sit in the car where he could recline and take some pressure off his tummy.

After the tasting we had planned to go to the best western and pick up information on the blocks we have reserved for out guests, but we forgot! Plain and simple, we forgot. Oops!

Our last objective for the day was to set up a gift registry. We decided to travel to a bigger sears than what we have here to get the most selection. D was still not feeling well but insisted on going anyway because we need to get this done (his mom is hounding for it to be done). However, we were only at the store for about 1/2 an hour when he was feeling so badly we had to leave. So, while we had a nice lunch, we didn't get anything accomplished.

Maybe next weekend...
