Oh boy...did this week have its up and downs!
Michael and I have officially chosen a parish and completely adore the priest...but....he can't marry us (the church we're getting married in is in a different diocese etc. etc.) So then we had to go back to the drawing board (and I think we've settled on asking the priest who was our former principal in high school. He marries a lot of alum and he knows us and our families and does quick Mass's-so that's good. I just NEVER thought he would be the priest presiding over my wedding-but somettimes things don't go as planned, I guess!) We also went to the bank and learned Chase doesn't do private loans-so now we're sort of unsure on how to pay for the wedding (and I swear to God if I hear one more person say I shouldn't go into debt over the wedding-I legitimately have no choice. The vast number of people-which I am trying to cut down-dictates the cost. Ugh.)
On the bright side Michael's uncle-who owns a printing business-is going to get us our invitations "at cost"-so that'll be inexpensive and it is so fun looking through all the options! We also got to spend some nice quality time with our families. And yesterday I went strawberry picking with my mom and then we made strawberry jam! (Plan on seeing strawberry recipes coming soon!)
And tomorrow is father's day! I'm working 12-4 but then I'll stop over to my uncle's cookout, where my dad and his family will be. So...yeah. I guess it'll be ok. I hope you all have a great day!
