On February 14, our son Brett proposed to his love, Rebecca/Becky and we are all so happy and excited.
They want to have their wedding on August 27, or some weekend in September, and possibly have it in our garden.
As they live in Arizona, it is difficult for them to plan. So this project manager (me) is now started in action. I met with friend Holly, who is very organized and has done 2 weddings at home over the past two years. "Be sure to figure out the bathrooms for the guests", is her first warning. The boys/girls porta potties they hired were $950. And ministers cost $1500- guess they have to make their living this way. I sent friend Terry off to the internet to become a "minister". But I also learned about using Costco for flowers (they contract to growers/florists at a very cut rate). I hit up friends Linda, Laura and Lauma to help, and ordered budget wedding books on Amazon.com. I am also checking out some other venues in case the guest list becomes higher than expected. Now, this project isn't the only one I am doing, so I really must get organized AND RETIRE. May 20th is my final date, and I may move it up as there is so much to do.
