2 weeks and 4 days


Golly! The time is flying by! I'm so excited. :) We've been doing a lot of the final preparations for the wedding lately, and I'm really very pleased with everything. The main thing we need to do (besides paint the gazebo) is make the cake. We made the bottom layer a few weeks ago, planning to make the whole thing out of rice crispy treats, but after it alone took 9 batches, we decided to shell out the money and buy Styrofoam cake forms. I also bought a damask [pronounced dam-isk with a long A, like the swear word] stencil and frosting spray paint, so the bottom layer will have that around it, the middle layer will just have a yellow ribbon around the base, and the top layer will have that quilted look that they do with fondant with little edible pearls at each intersection. The whole thing will be white (imagine that) with yellow damask and ribbons. And yellow flowers on top.
Yesterday my mom and I went and met with the florist and designed my bouquet and all the other flowers. :) My bouquet will just be all yellow calla lilies with navy blue ribbon around the stems, much like this one:


For the centerpieces I think I'll get a bunch of tall, skinny vases and put lemons in them, with a single long stem of asiatic lilies in them.
My mom and I also went to the distribution center and got my temple clothes and stuff. I'm so excited! I go through the temple in a week and 4 days. Golly! :)
Now we just need to find Justin a job, and find a place to live after the Roosendaals when school starts. Any suggestions?

P.S. I also want to try the hairstyle above. It probably won't work, but it's worth a try, right?
