I have a 7-day notice on my Elopements. Monday evening I got a call wanting the Elopement Package Thursday or Friday. Friday was out because the room is already booked. Thursday is the day my son & his wife were leaving here to go to Finland. I took the reservation because I figured (correctly) my son would want an early hit the road.
I am truly grateful to this couple because the pressure I was under to get everything ready for them has made it so i did not have time to sit here feeling sorry for myself. Baked the cake last night while we had supper and iced it before going to bed. Since "the girl" overslept I did more upstairs than I planned but it was good to have to rush. She finally contacted me and I picked her up - the flowers were ready so got them in that run. )Preacher Beecher just arrived. No bride & groom yet.) She did the "heavy lifting" while I did the borders on the cake and put it together. I even was able to do a FB post with the picture of the cake!
My legs are killing me - thank goodness for Aleeve! - but my eyes are not red. Sky clouded up so I also stopped and got a large, pretty umbrella for "just in case.".I even wolfed down a sandwich! LIGHTS! CAMERA!! ACTION!!!
