As Molly mentioned recently, we hit our first real snag when the ceremony musician had to back out. There was a scramble to find a solution, and it appears we found one. It turns out that my good friend Jamo and his dad are quite the guitar-wielding duo. They’ll be playing the ceremony for us. I guess it turned out not to be such a big deal after all. If this is the biggest problem that arises, I think we’ll be doing pretty well.

In other news, last Friday was the cut-off date for RSVPs, and we have received… most of them. We’ve got to track down a few people, though. Overall it looks like we’ve gotten the 20% shrinkage from the total guest list that they say you should expect. It’s fine with me, as that means the whole thing will be a bit cheaper than we’d anticipated. Many absences will be lamented, though.

Pat, our officiant, has written a lovely script for the ceremony. I’m not sure if the state has yet sent him his one-day dispensation to perform the ceremony, but given that they’ve cashed my check already it had better be in the mail.

So that’s that. Lots of little things to do between now and the big day.
