Today as I was wrapping up some paperwork on a case I was called to a short meeting at the other end of our floor. So I changed my status (I'm timed on everything! *tear*) and headed off to it. When I got there they were gathering everyone and I thought it was an update on our location situation since the last time this happened we were told the department was moving to a different location that we have previously been told about. So as my boss starts talking he looks over at me and says, "we're here today to congratulate *** on her recent marriage." My eyes popped out of my head and my jaw dropped to the floor. I had no idea it was all for me. They congratulated me, gave me a present, and made me give an impromt speech. It was nice. I opened the present when I got home so that I could rub it in Jack's face. It of course didn't work since he didn't care and he was distracted by some anime he was watching on the computer. Other than that, I'm happy. =)
Btw, it was a month yesterday that we got married. Say what? Where has the time gone? Still have to mail out these damn thank you cards. =/

So after procrastinating, waiting for free time and waiting on others, Jack and I have finally set a date. We will be getting married on July 18, 2009. This date is subject to change if we cannot find a church for that date. I'm thinking that it would be easier to get a church on a Saturday now than a hall since it's pretty late in the game. Some halls book up over a year in advance. If we can't find a hall for that day then I'm thinking that we can get married on a Saturday and then book a hall for the Sunday after (usually Sundays are more free and cheaper than a Friday or Saturday). My mom isn't too thrilled about this idea but when shit happens you just have to work with it. The worst case scenerio is getting married and having our reception on a weekday. The highlight of that option is that usually only the people that really care about going will attend.
I'm going to go to a florist with a friend this Thursday to get a quote. I think I should just make an online to-do list on here.
To Do:
- contact churches
- contact halls & schedule viewing
- check out different florists & compare prices
- decide on whether to make invitations or buy them
- revise guestlist >_>;
- create a wedding registry
- start collecting mailing addresses
- settle the wedding party
- find a photographer & videographer
- look for wedding bands
- refrain from swearing
I like making a done list when I have a to-do list just so that I feel better knowing I have things done already.
Done:
- set a date
- finalize colour scheme
P.S. Happy 25th birthday Jack. Good times Saturday night!

With our busy schedules we managed to sneak in one evening together for my birthday. Yay! Jack took me out for dinner to Toula, a restaurant overlooking Lake Ontario. It was pretty nice and we even got to see planes land on the island. The food was good, the drinks were great and the company was enjoyable (as always). Thanks la.

I was just wondering...would it be stupid to celebrate an anniversary while you are engaged? Jack's and my fifth year is coming up and I wasn't sure if people would see anniversaries nullified once you are "counting down the days".
