Day 7 Thursday, Jan 24:
Thursday was Caryn & Marks wedding day! I had every intention of crashing their ceremony to see her fantastic outfit, but this was my first chance to run to Michaels
I needed gem glue so I could finish my veil.
While Im in Michaels, I get a call from Robs Aunt wanting to know if she can bring her foreign exchange student to our wedding. I cant leave her at home, she doesnt speak any English she says! At this point steam is practically coming out my ears
people were doing this to me all week! I made room for the 3 year old, but had to politely say no about this one. Somehow I managed to keep my cool
no Bridezilla here! If you asked me 2 days ago it wouldve been ok, but all my numbers have been finalized and I really cant add anyone. So what if it was a flat out lie, I didnt want to hurt anybodys feelings!
After my last minute spending spree we met my Mom and Courtney at Kona for some Tonga Toast... yummy! We had ADRs at Whispering Canyon for that evening, so I was explaining to my mom how to annoy the servers
Im waving my hand in the air and loudly saying EXCUSE ME! just as our waitress walks by. Of course she thought we were talking to her, so we had to explain that we were making fun of the WCC. Oh, my husband works there! she says
how random!
That afternoon we met up with Cheryl & her parents for some shopping at DTD. My mom got a cute Mickey watch for my dad, and I finally found a Hawaiian print dress to wear to our rehearsal dinner.
At 6:30 we met up with Robs parents and his brother Justin for dinner at WCC. Our waitress was hilarious. She called herself head of lettuce although she wouldnt tell us why! She gave us all nicknames... Rob and I were Bride and Groom. My Uncle was Little Boy, Courtney was Giggles, and Steve was Boyfriend of no one
poor Steve! I chugged my Diet Coke so I could get a giant one, and the head of lettuce brought me a towel to sit on, just in case I wet my pants
lol!
At one of the other tables was a couple celebrating their 40th Anniversary. For some reason the servers started a kissing contest and of course our head of lettuce nominated me and Rob. Im ashamed to admit that we lost to a couple of senior citizens
Im not a big fan of PDA.
Like I said before, our server was great! She stayed in character the entire time! We definitely got lots of her attention, and because of our upcoming wedding she made Rob skip around the room on a pony and sing You Are My Sunshine to me!
At the end of our dinner, Robs dad announces that everyone is waiting for Rob in the WL bar
they want to throw him a bachelor party. I DONT THINK SO! I had my bachelorette party at the beginning of January, and I told both Rob and his father that if he wanted a bachelor party to do it then. I warned that there would be absolutely no wild drinking the week of our wedding
Rob insisted that he didnt want a BP and had a nice quiet dinner with his parents instead. So here we are 3 weeks later, and my FFIL is arguing with me in the middle of a restaurant! I have plans to meet Caryndisneydiva in 20 minutes, and Im not in the mood to argue, so we just get up and leave.
We finally get to PI at 10:20, and like Caryn said in her TR, the comedy club wouldnt let us in because the show had already started. We wandered around a bit and Rob went into the surf shop (if you can call it that) to get a present for his best man.
At about 11pm I finally got to meet up with Caryn! After months of talking on the Disboards, it was great to meet in person! Caryn and her DH Mark had gotten married about 12 hours earlier, but were still partying!
We talked for a bit, but had to cut the evening short since Rob was still not feeling well. Here's a picture I stole from Caryn's TR... thanks Caryn!
