Weddings Weddings and MORE Weddings

Goodness gracious it has been awhile since I've written....well I would like to say that my time has been taken up with a few weddings...including the preparation of my own! Yes that's right as of October 28th, 2008 I will be known as Mrs. Rose.

It started with my cousin's wedding in July. Coincidentally that's when I got engaged (on top of a Mountain in Whistler)! I flew out to Alberta for a weekend to celebrate the big day. It was a great time and it was really great to see family and just get away from the craziness of work and life here in Vancouver. I was a little tired and didn't even bother unpacking...I just kept my suitcase out because 2 weeks later off I went to Alberta AGAIN! I found myself spending a week in Alberta this time to help with the preparations of my sister's wedding. Which I might add turned out to be a wonderful event despite many obsticals and situations that took place before the actual event! All went smoothly though and everyone had a great time, my brother danced until he could dance no more! HA!

Meanwhile Richard and I were in the midst of nailing down a photographer, setting a date and finding a co-ordinator that would help us. Originally we were set on eloping but after further thought we decided to invite immediate family to be with us in Maui. So now we're flying by the seats of our pants and things are slowly coming together. We're down to picking flowers, getting alterations done and just little things that will eventually be taken care of. Having a destination Wedding is tough but we're managing despite my own little melt downs and grudges. Fingers crossed it turns out to be a great time just like my Cousin's and Sister's Weddings!
