We're Married!
OK, so we had a wedding! Jake and I tied the knot, finally, last Saturday 10/11/08. It was a perfect day, a perfect wedding.
We woke up at the crack of dawn because I had to be at the salon for 6:45am. We met Jenna, Jasun and the boys at Jake's parents house. That way Jenna and I could carpool, and Jake could go with the gang. We were running very late, so I just picked up Jenna and left.
We got to the salon on time. My hair wasn't totally dry, so Joy stuck me under the old lady drier! I was a big ball of nerves that morning. I needed food and coffee, but it took a good hour before my body would allow it. Heather met us there. We all got our hair done, and I got my makeup done. Joy and Christina at Hair we Are were just wonderful. I have such love and trust for them so the morning of my wedding was so calm and so warm. It was great to be there with Heather, Jenna and the other gals at the salon. They truly made me a zen bride!
We then got to the Granite Rose really early. Jenna, Heather and I hung out in the parking lot for a bit (Val was already inside working on our cake). We popped a squat on the cement and just hung out in the beautiful sunshine! Then Jenna from the Granite Rose let us inside.
Once we were in, we went to check out the hall and cake. Both were just phenomenal! Valerie really outdid herself with the cake! It was just beautiful! 3 tiers of white frosting with some dot work, with layers of red roses in between. I cried!
Then all the ladies, and Evan and Rhea piled into the bridal suite to get ready. We had so much fun! At one point I was laying down on the couch, topless and in pantyhose, holding up my chest whilst Heather powdered! That's what friends are for! At this point, Valerie had finished the cake and was showering and getting gussied-up in the bathroom of the bridal suite.
Before we knew it, we were all dolled up and the photographer and my dad and Joey came in for some pictures. I was such a nervous wreck, but I had just won Red Sox play off tickets at work the night before, so I used baseball to calm my nerves and keep me from crying! I believe the mantra was "think baseball. there's no crying in baseball!" LOL
The nerves left as my dad and I started our walk down the aisle. I can't exactly describe the feeling of having everyone you know and love standing up to adore you, but it's freakin' awesome! I was so excited as I walked towards my fiance. Jake looked so handsome standing there.
The ceremony was short, but beautiful. Our JP, Andrea Ellis Reyes, performed with grace, professionalism and warmth. Jake and I kept looking at her instead of each other so that we didn't cry! That failed during the vows, however. We had to look at each other for those and I totally choked up and cried through them!
Joey presented the unity candle. He looked adorable in his renny outfit. He had the words on this old-looking scroll. He got a bit choked up during it, but did great! Jake and I were really touched by his words and emotion. Nona and Nana were so sweet to come up and light the tapers for us. It was great to have those generations present.
Shortly after that, we were pronounced husband and wife and Jake stepped on the glass. We had a brief kiss and walked down the aisle, married!
The reception was SO much fun! I didn't get to eat a whole lot as the chef made the vegan meal with tomato sauce. It was freaking delicious, but clumsy brides in white and tomato sauce are not a good mixture! I had salad, and a lot of bread.
Our first dance was Time in a Bottle. The daddy/daughter dance was He Didn't Have to Be. The mommy/son dance was Hey Jude (Jake's mother's name being Judi).
The DJ Jeff Dawe and his assistant (don't know his name) did an AWESOME job! Everyone commented on their skills and the fact that they were up there grooving the whole time. Not to mention that Mr. Dawe is pretty easy on the eyes! The lady guests enjoyed that!
The bouquet toss was a bit of a miss. That huge chandelier got in the way, but Denise dove for it and got it!
A lot of people told me that the day would fly by and to treasure every moment. I have to say, it didn't fly by for me! I was savouring the day, taking in all it had to offer. We had the best crowd. Everyone was kind, caring and pleasant. There were no issues at all. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. Seriously, it was amazing!

More Wedding Goodness!
So I had my shower on Saturday! It was a fantastic time! Many people showed up and many people put a lot of work into making it a great day. I am so thankful to have such wonderful people in my life!
Jake and I got lots of awesome gifts! Fun moments included opening the edible undies from Jenny (I knew Karma would get me in the end), and when Joelle cracked herself up for being a vegan and buying us an omelet pan! LOL Many laughs and good times were had.
The food was incredible and I totally appreciate the effort and thought into making everything vegetarian. It was so sweet! It is a rare occasion to go to an event like that and have the ability to eat anything in the room.
The cake was AMAZING! Valerie made the most delicious white cake with fresh cut strawberries in it. The decorations on the cake were so beautiful. She made sugar and frosting replicas of the family crests from our save the date cards. I was really touched.
Speaking of being touched, I totally cried so many times! My Nona had made this beautiful hand knit blanket.... I cried. Jenna gave me a gorgeous cake plate that her Nana had given her to give to whoever Jake married... I cried...
On another topic, I went and had the final fitting for my dress. It fit! Yay! So we have that out of the way now!

Da Faire
So we took our first trip of the year to King Richard's Faire! Weeeeee! We met Jessica and Dave there as they were going to look for outfits for the wedding. We had a good day walking around and looking at stuff that we couldn't buy! LOL
But really, we didn't find anything we wanted. I was on a mission to find both a garland and snood for the wedding. The garlands were cheap and cheesy, and there wasn't a snood for sale in sight! What, you ask? A snoodless faire? Yes folks, I'm afraid 'tis so. However, all was not lost for when I saw the snoods on some ladies, I decided that I didn't want one for the wedding anyway. If my hair pisses me off I'll figure some other way to pull it up.
Food wise, it was a very poor day. Jake and I both got bloomin' onions and they were horrible! They didn't taste fantasic (surely not worth the cost) and were impossible to eat! They didn't cut the onion in a way that allowed for us to actually pull the pieces off and consume them. That caused some eating issues which resulted in me spilling stuff all over myself. Due to the boning, my bodice is not washable. *sigh* But, thanks to Tide for their stain sticks! I got most of the grease out.
Jessica ended up with an beautiful outfit from that store that sells the fairy outfits (forgot the name). They had BEAUTIFUL chemises there, but they were a bit pricey so I didn't get one. C'est la vie! We also picked up Heather and Jenna's bridesmaid dresses from Lew at Threads of Time as they had needed some hemming. We also picked up some gifts for the wedding party, but I can't say what they are as I know people in the wedding party will read this! LOL
Overall, it was a good day! We even found our engagment bench and had Jessica take some shots of us there. So romantic!
Oh, speaking of wedding stuff, we got our marriage license on Friday! How exciting! :-)
It was a bit awkward though as I had put Constantin's name as my father, and the woman made me change it to Michael's. I don't think I've ever actually written Michael Picard for father's name as Constantin has been my legal guardian since I was a kid. It actually made me cry, which is silly really.
There really isn't anything we have left to get for the wedding. The unity candle set finally got here (in a beat up old flower box) and the favors should be here Friday. All we really have left is to get the last of the outfits together and to finalize the stuff with our vendors. I'm going to have to call the JP since she never contacted me in August to go over the ceremony as she had promised. I'm getting excited! What a party this will be! :-D

Birthday Reflections
Let's see.... there are 365 days until I turn 30. Jesus....30. I never thought I'd see that day! It's amazing to think that I've lived for this long.
Remember when 10 years seem like such a long time? Like when we graduated from high school and the thought of a 10 year reunion was so far-fetched? (not that I'd ever go, and didn't). But still. Now 10 years seems like nothing. Let's see, where was I in life 10 years ago, August 17, 1998?
I had just spent a year (well, almost) at UMD. It was a very hard time for me, but I managed to find a group of incredibly amazing friends, most of whom I have to this day. I remember I had a birthday party that year. I was living back home in Chelms-hell with my parents. It was a weird party because my 20cent friends were there, along with Valerie (who didn't know any of them at the time), Leah, and Taryn! We managed to have a really good time. Vorg was there too. I remember he ended up staying over that night. He slept in the guest bedroom, but tried to sneak into mine early in the morning. Alli, our dog, had other plans! She woke up when he did and barked to get the rest of us up! LOL Poor boy. What am I talking about... poor me too! LOL
I was working at the Westford Regency, I believe. I had real short hair still, and fake nails. I was still really depressed, but was starting to work towards getting better. I did register for MCC that coming fall. That was my saving grace. It really was. It gave me a sense of purpose, and the self esteem to actually succeed academically for the first time in my life.
There's me, getting all sentimental! This year, on my birthday, I feel like I'm in another transition. I'm in a job that I am very unsatisfied with. I wanted to start teaching this year, but no one has even called me for an interview. I feel stuck. I'm not making enough money to pay the bills, I'm not at all intellectually challenged, and I don't get any respect.
But, I am getting married in 55 days! Yikes! I'm going to be a Mrs! I have decided to keep my name, but add Jake's at the end. Meaning, Sandra Marie Picard Stevens. I feel good about that. Now I don't have to give up the Picard, which I feel is a little piece of my birth father I've kept with me. And that's not a knock towards my life father. I love him, but he's able to be an active part of my life where my birth father can't. I hope I've honored my life father with all I've done (though I don't think he sees it that way).
Anyway, it's late and I'm jabbering. I'll probably edit this tomorrow!
Cheers and thanks for all the birthday wishes everyone!

Holy Crap
Wedding stress! AAAAH!
OK, so the wedding outfits were supposed to be done at the end of June. All of them. Then the seamstress tells me that there were delays in fabric shipments etc. and that the fitting will have to be August 24, as that is the only weekend she has inbetween Bristol and KRF.
Now I get an email from her stating that the parent's outfits will not be done in time for the fittings. Then, I got one stating that she MAY have the guys outfits done for the fittings. WTF?!?!?!?! I am freaking the fuck out! The wedding is in OCTOBER! That is only 2 months! If she is busy with the faires, when is she going to focus on my wedding stuff? I mean shit! AAAAAH!!
Then she has the fucking audacity to suggest that our parents drive 2.5 hours and pay to go to KRF for their fittings!!!!!!!!!!!! Ha! I do NOT fucking think so!
OMG... I need a beer.
On top of that, I ordered our unity candle stand almost a month ago and it's not here yet! And the place is not answering my emails. Ugh.
And the Grantie Rose can't seem to figure out how much it would be to have mulled cider! I asked them in OCTOBER to figure it out. Then again in June. Still, they can't wrap their minds around it! Just say $50 and call it a day!

Engagment Party
So we had our engagement party today. It went really well. I was nervous about it being somewhat awkward with a lot of people I didn't know being there. And there were a couple, but overall it was good to see my parent's friends from the temple that I haven't seen in a long time.
Valerie and Jeff were there. It was cool to see them together as a couple, I don't think I've seen that yet! She brought a BEAUTIFUL cake! It was two tiers; one spice cake, one chocolate. And it was gorgeous! It was white frosting and she had done a Celtic knot design with hearts intertwined in it with a claddagh on the front. I totally started to cry when I saw it! I'm still misty eyed! It totally was the hit of the party! :-) What can I say, I have some talented ass friends!
We got lots of really nice gifts. I GOT MY KITCHEN AID MIXER! Can I just tell you how freaking excited I am about that? It's beautiful! It's the cobalt blue color I wanted. Jake's parents got it for us. That is something I have always wanted. Even years ago I used to dream of getting married and registering for the mixer! I am so going to use it! When we get a house it's taking its proper place on the counter!
I was a good day too. The rain held off until we left. It was pissing down on the way home. The drops were huge! They felt like they were whipping the car!
But anyway, it was a good day and it's a good feeling to know that people care about you, even if you haven't seen them in years!

Wedding Stuff
I am so upset right now. It's three months before the wedding and now the Granite Rose is telling me that we can't do things that were "no problem" when we originally sat down.
The most upsetting is that now Valerie can't make our cake. We chose a package with the cake included, but were told that if we weren't doing the cake that we could subtitute it with something esle. We're paying the money regardless. Now we're being told that if we bring in an outside cake we still have to pay the money, but get nothing in return! Apparently, it's in the contract. So now I had to crush Valerie and tell her that she can't make my wedding cake. I know it really upset her. I'm upset too! I mean, a cake from her would be so beautiful and so meaningful. Who else would put so much heart into making something like that for us? I know there will be other occasions and other cakes, but this really sucks. :-(
There were other little things as well, but I'm not going to go into details because it's arduous and pointless. Needless to say, I'm crushed and entirely disenheartened by the venue. I was so happy with them so far because they really made us feel like they cared about making our day special. They were the only place that didn't treat us like this was just another wedding; just another day in the biz. Now that the wedding is just three months away, I'm getting a totally different vibe. I know we're not their only customers. I know we're just another wedding, but it still sucks that all of a sudden we're being treated this way.
I priced mead from the NH liquor store because I wanted to have a bottle on each table. It would cost me $12/bottle if I bought it straight. If we get it through the Granite Rose it will cost $39/bottle! They wouldn't even be serving it! It was just going to be on the tables!
I'm anxious to see how much the hot spiced cider will cost.
Well, I guess I shouldn't complain. I mean, I WAS looking for all these special customizations. I guess I should just go with what comes with the package and enjoy the meaning of the day. That's it folks, I have just decided not to get bogged down with details! The important thing is that Jake and I get married in front of our family and friends. The rest is moot. Zen bride take over!
