It won't be long now....

Since I have been in Germany I haven't really had to think about the upcoming wedding of our youngest daughter.  A winter wedding in January. Snow, diamonds, pine cones, Winter Wonderland. When she announced her engagement, Germany was not even on the horizon...After paying for two college tuitions and knowing we would have two wedding to pay for I decided hey I have nothing but time I can Do It Myself.  After all, with my art and design background it should be a snap....move ahead and here I am sitting in German while everything I had worked on is sitting back in the US of A. I will return in a couple of weeks to meet (and make final payments UGH) to the caterer, the band, the photographer (nope I can't do it myself the girls and husband refuse it), and the florist.  So far I have all the church and reception flowers done, Mercury glass pained, rhinestones set, ribbons threaded, table decorations, invitations, bells, table cards (1/2 done), chairs covers and sashes......hmmm what am I forgetting?  But so much more needs to be tended too.  We are hoping to be back again in December to "finish  things up". Am I panicking yet?  Why no, not at all. A ha...just  a little...well only on some days....okay yes, yes I guess I am.
