Under 3 Weeks To Go

Today marks the 2 week and 6 day point from which Amanda and my wedding will take place. I'm not going to do the countdown in this post, as I'm sure that people are intelligent enough to do the math their own. If you're not, just know that it's coming up soon.

Today:

Amanda's best friend, Jennifer, showed up at our apartment today with her mother, Virginia. Since Virginia hadn't seen Amanda in the wedding dress as of yet, Amanda stole away into the bedroom to put it on so that she could see it. When she came out of the bedroom and into the living room, the look on Virginia's face was priceless. Before you knew it, all three of them were in the hallway just near tears.

It's just a wedding dress...

While the women were gushing and such, I spent the time playing with the kids. Nolan spent his time on the Xbox while Mason and I played with a helium balloon with a small plastic weight on it in the shape of a clown. We bounced the balloon back and forth for a bit until he got tired of it and moved on.

Finally, Jennifer and her mom said it was time to leave and as quick as they had arrived, they were gone.

In other news:

With the little time remaining before the wedding, I realized tonight that I have yet to see the church where we're going to be married. Keep in mind that this is the church that Amanda's mom and grandmother goes to, which is the main reason why we're having the wedding there. I've never personally been there, but I've heard good things about it.

There are several things that I'm wanting to look at:

1. The audio area
Since we're poor and as such will be doing our own music, I want to get an idea of the media room at the church and what it can handle. I'm thinking of loading up a DVD with MP3's but I want to make sure that they have the equipment available to play the DVD. If not, I'll have to bring in my portable DVD player which *does* play MP3's off of a DVD.

2. The reception area
I have no clue what size the reception area is going to be. I would like to know exactly how big this area is so that we can make some final decisions in regards to the music that's going to be played. If there's no room to dance, then we won't need to worry about dance music.

3. Video camera position
My biological father, Ed, gave Amanda and I an early wedding present last week, a digital video camera. His thought was that we might want to record our wedding, so he gave us the present early. It was a nice thing for him to do, but now we need to find a place to setup the camera so we can record the wedding.

I'm sure that there'll be more things to add to my list regarding the church once I have some time to look it over and figure out how everything is layed out.

Well, these weeks keep flying by faster and faster. Look for another post around this time next week.
