Exciting Times
A big thanks to my cousin Robyn for sending me the above image. How cute! (And strangely reminiscent of our little yarn-winding fiasco in Vermont...eh girls?) Did I ever blog about Vermont? I don't remember, I was probably too excited about Yannick proposing that same weekend. If I didn't, then let me just say that I had a great time with the Montreal Knitters and can't wait for the next road trip!

This week was a little hectic. Last Thursday after Yom Kippur Yannick, my mom and I went to check out a hall called Riviera. The place was absolutely stunning and Frank, one of the owners, couldn't have been more helpful. Yannick and I wanted to sign right away, but my mom wanted us to make sure we were getting the best we could for our wedding. My mom spent the weekend checking out a few more places, I went with her to some. A few were nice, one or two were really nice, and one was just hideous but I won't say where in case any readers have gotten married there. :) In the end there was no denying that Riviera was the absolute best place. I'm so excited! We actually went tonight to bring my dad and show him the place, and we signed the contract!! It's official...I'm getting married!!! Unfortunately Yannick's parents couldn't be there to see it 'cus they are in Florida, but his mom gave me her approval to pick a place that Yannick and I liked, and said they'd trust our judgement. I can't wait to show it to them once they're back!

So...Yannick and I will be getting married next Labor Day weekend, on Sunday, September 3rd 2006. And as a bonus: it's Yannick's birthday! When asked what date he preferred from the few long weekends next Fall, he chose his birthday because, as he put it, "it will be easier to remember my wedding anniversary." Those who know him know how he is with dates, so this is a very wise choice! Plus my birthday is 8 days later, so if we ever go away for our anniversary we can celebrate both birthdays and our wedding all together.

Now there's just the music and the invitations and the flowers and the dresses and the video and the pictures and the favors and the..............

To whoever sent me the orange enveloppe: ARE you my secret pal joking around? Are you someone else? This is so vague!! I thought the handwriting looked familiar, but thought I was imaging it because it was the first thing I got from my secret pal...who denys sending it...but someone took credit...but won't tell me who it is...have I met you? Do I know you? Online? IRL? I'm SO confused!!!

    Hey Jenn! I am not your secret pal. Just someone who saw it on your fave list, and wanted to send you something nice! Cant someone do someone nice? No credit for anything secret pal-ish - just someone else doing something nice.

    I swear that it's not me, Jenn! Like I said, you are one lucky lady to be getting all these prezzies lately. BTW, I sent my package off to you today. You can compare the handwriting, if you like. :)
