Yay!!! I'm typing on my new computer :) I love it! (except it won't open the files from my old computer...hmmmm). So I'm back to working on the programs...I'm going to have to remake them but that's okay, at least I have my computer!

Our wedding day is almost on the 10 day weather forecast...how crazy is that! Looks like it's going to be a warm week next week but I'm more concerned about the rain than the temps. That's what air conditioning is for :)

Well the drama is over.

My dad called Jim's mom and used the approach of saying that he felt he should have offered to pay for the toast since it wasn't directly related to the bar bill. He then said that he felt that they should split it down the middle...and why not go for the champagne. My dad said she seemed fine with it. Jim's at work so I don't know if his mom has called him to talk about it or not. We'll see. My dad told me he wanted to do it without me knowing so Jim would get made at him (if he did at all) instead of at me. I love my dad :)

So today I actually made it to the gym *shocking*. I'm hoping the fact that I only have 12 days until my wedding will motivation me through the next two weeks :)

Also, we got our signature mat/guestbook thing. Karen's (BM) dad made it for us and it is BEAUTIFUL!!! I can't wait to post pics of it! I'm so excited about it :)

OH! And my computer came today HURRAY!!! Right now it's sitting at my parents house until Jim gets home because I cant carry it up the stairs. He'll be home in 45 minutes! Yay!

Sticky in-law situation..any suggestions?

Alright, my parents are paying for the reception with the exception of the open bar which FILs are paying for. When we had our final meeting with the reception hall, we were deciding whether or not to have a champagne toast for everybody or just the head table. The FILs said they wanted to pay for the toast too since it was part of the alcohol bill. They decide to have a toast of white wine for everybody with the exception of the head table, which would still get champagne (difference between bottle of wine and bottle of champagne is $5), which is completely fine with me. I assumed only the head table would get champagne anyways.

Fast forward to dinner last night with my parents, my dad said that he would prefer to have champagne for everybody or just the head table, not wine for the toast. He said he would pay the difference but how the heck do we approach that with the in-laws. I feel that any approach we take could be mis-construed as something rude. I broached the topic with Jim last night and he got upset saying that he didn't want his parents to "feel not good enough". Obviously this isn't my dad's intention.

What the heck should we do? This morning I told my dad that we should just leave it the way it is to avoid stepping on toes but he is dead set on having champagne.

Any thoughts?

Hi all! I've decided to start a LiveJournal since my first love (Ultimate Wedding) is no longer up and running. Hopefully I can vent about last minute wedding stuff...feel a little bit better...and keep in touch with old friends :)
