5 months have elapsed since I last posted and I must admit that is awful! Wedding planning was put on hold for a while so I could finish my degree, search for an irl job to start paying down my debt, and just make it through our marathon engagement.
1) Our rabbi canceled on us. This was actually a blessing. Mr. Sunflower and I chose the Rabbi before we should have and as a result ended up paying WAY too much for her. Crisis averted: The church in which our ceremony will be held will assign us a humanist minister who will perform the ceremony we want. AND! We get to keep the coveted ceremony guidebook that came with the Rabbi because she felt so awful about canceling. So essentially, we can support the church we like and save enough money to cover my dress (yes the Rabbi was that expensive).
2) I moved in with Mr. Sunflower's parents for a few weeks in between the dorms and our apartment. The aftermath is still being calculated but may be irreparable.
3) My cousin, who became engaged shortly after me, chose to have her wedding 3 weeks before mine in the same location. Awesome. Even awesome-er, when I told Mr. Sunflower, who generally has no sense of jealousy or competition immediately responded with a complete straight face: "Well that's great. She's getting married first - we can totally one-up her!" *swoon* Which is, of course, not what I want to do - but his devotion to my happiness is refreshing.
4) We have booked everything - videographer, photographer, church, reception location, minister. We need to figure out what we're going to wear, what we're going to eat, and where we're going to get sunflowers during the first week of a Michigan October.
