I have a few minutes..I will add!:
THe Luckiest!!
When last we left..our bride was asking for special cakes and now she had found a song by Ben Fold's called "the luckiest"
I don't get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls
Brought me here
And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it everyday
And I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
What if I'd been born fifty years before you
In a house on a street where you lived?
Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike
Would I know?
And in a white sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize
And I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you
Next door there's an old man who lived to his nineties
And one day passed away in his sleep
And his wife; she stayed for a couple of days
And passed away
I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know we belong
That I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
Because DH was in a very bad first marriage, the words seemed so great..the song itself is wonderful. I knew that if I brought a CD to the ship, they could play it for me..but if I gave the pianist sheet music, could he play it?? Cathy forwarded the music to the ship and I crossed my fingers!
At this point, I really needed to get my act together!! I was 30 days from sailing and had SOO many things to do! Program cards, dress finals..ugh!
A UPGRADE!!!
I got a call from my
Travel Agent one Sunday a few weeks before we left..would I be interested in changing rooms?? While we had planned on staying in our Secret Porthole Room for both cruises, I could not resist going from a Cat 10 to a Cat 7 AND getting money back for the Florida Resident Rate..I took it..when I logged in to see the room..it was a Secret Veranda Room!!!
How romantic!!! A veranda..all to ourselves on our VR portion!! WOO HOO!!!
Our Room!
With the help of a Ophie, I made our programs for the VR..started as a watermark..morphed into a picture of the ship at Castaway with info printed on vellum:
This is where the story gets GOOD!! Ha ha ha!
Initally, we did not have a photo package because I couldn't see spending that amount on pictures! Cathy sent me an email that a new "Vow Renewal Package" was available for $175!! SOLD!! I had many people taking picture of the ceremony (as it turns out..thank GOD i did..but i digress) but really wanted some photos around the ship too!
THE shoes!!
I still had not found THE shoes for the dress..i had something that would "work" but not happy..then one night while DH was trying on shoes at Penny's..I found THEM!! PERFECT!! Love!! (Dh complained that he couldn't even go shoe shopping without me getting something!!)
(little did I know, they matched almost exactly with the style my bridesmaids had ordered!!)
ok..i need to get back to work!!
Next time..: WE SAIL!!!
