The planning part of the wedding is winding down. There's still plenty to do (as poor Dinah could tell you), but a lot of the details (the suit, the napkins and linens, the flowers, the cake and such) have pretty much settled themselves out. And with only 9 days left, that's a good, good thing.
But that doesn't mean I'll find nothing to worry (and probably blog - I have been a little more talky these days, haven't I?) about. The things I'm gonna think about (and hope turn out well) are things I (and Dinah) have no control over.
Like the weather. Today was the first day I could look at the projected weather in Grinnell. Looks decent so far 48 and mostly sunny. (Same for Friday when a lot of people will be travelling in, so that's good too.) After growing up in Iowa, though, I know that the weather can be changed either for the better or worse 4 or 5 times in the next week. My mind knows this, but it won't stop me from checking everyday (and probably looking up other sources and seeing what they say about it). Which is fine, except we're not doing anything outside except taking pictures.
Oh well.
It's not all worry over here. The rings came in Tuesday. And they are awesome. The guy who did them is a really talented friend of ours. I'm hoping he has pictures on his website soon, but everyone will be able to see them soon. Dinah's compliments her engagement ring (which he also did) so perfectly. And mine. Well, I'm not sure I can describe it well enough to put across how awesome it is. (Won't stop me from trying, but you know...) It's got two shoulders on either side and the middle is sort of cut out to form alternating buttresses against the shoulders. And in the middle of the ring, going the full way around the band is some blue lapis that conforms perfectly to the betresses. It's pretty awesome. I can't wear it for a little while, which sort of sucks. But hey.
Anyhoo.
