bridal shower craziness

seeing as i am a few thousand miles away from home, my grandmother, my great-aunt and my aunt maureen have been super helpful in planning my sister's bridal shower. last week i sent a (very) long e0mail to my grandmother and maureen to hammer out responsibilities.

i was feeling pretty good about it all - and very accomplished and on track. i was talking about it to my friend dave prior to going to see superman 3. he and his fiancee anne are getting married the same weekend back east, and i had planned the shower accordingly.

but as we were talking about it, dave told me that his wedding was on sunday - not saturday as i had been told. freaking out about it all night, i tried to figure out a way that i could hold the shower and make it to a 2:30 ceremony, or at least a 4 p.m. reception at a venue that's about 3 hours away.

not going to happen.

luckily all of the important players in the bridal shower - and the few guests that knew the date - were completely flexible. i redesigned the invites and printed them out again on wednesday. no rushing to the church necessary - it all worked out!

(so far)
