More Wedding Things Done

My boss let me out early so I could run wedding errands with Christa.  Then my sister called to say she was in town and would be up to visit Mom.  She also wanted to take me to lunch for my upcoming birthday.  YEAH!  So, since she was going to visit Mom, I could do it and still have time to get everything else done.  Christa met us at Hoff's Hut.  Which is actually on PCH and NOT 2nd street like I thought and miss directed my sister too.  But I did get a nice little site seeing trip down 2nd street.  Did you know they have a cheese-monger shop and a 2 shops with nothing but cupcakes?  Not that I got to taste any of that.

We caught up on what everyone is doing.  My sister is selling her house in Tucson.  I can't believe how much the market has down-turned!  But she has had about 20 people through and one very tentative offer.  They haven't even started looking in Savannah where they are moving to.  But are flying out sometime this month to start.  Tim is almost done with his student teaching.  He has no idea, according to Carole what he is going to do after that.  My guess would be teach, LOL.  But you know how mom's worry.

Christa and I continued on to the venue.  I finally got to see the INSIDE, lol.  it is even prettier than I  thought.  We went through in our minds where we wanted everything.  How we want it set up.  Where the candy buffet should go.  How many up-lights we need. Where to set up the catering.  Where the DJ and dance floor should go.  From which doorway should they make the Grand Entrance. Do the overlays I bought not clash with the color?  It was quite exciting!

Then, off to the rental guy's home to figure out what all we needed.  We settled on 12 tables, 120 chairs, 6 cocktail tables, a sweethearts table and a cake table and a bunch of linens. YIKES!  Luckily the guy will set up and tear down for us.  And pick up the same night of the event.  That is a requirement for the venue.  He has worked there many times and knows it very well.  He had more pictures of different set ups than we had seen so far for the venue.  It was very nice.  He's also very easy to work with.  It's D & D Party Rentals if you need someone in the San Pedro Area.

It's kind of funny because one of my patients told me that Donny, the guy that owns the company, was his cousin and to tell him that he sent us. Well, we did, but it turns out, he is not my patient's cousin.  Kind of embarrassing.  But he did know him for years so it wasn't a complete wrong steer.

Then off to meet the DJ.  Christa found him on Yelp and his name is Ryan or D.J. Tempoe Very nice kid (he's actually Christa's age).  He had a lot of music, will run our slide show and MC the event for a VERY REASONABLE fee.  Plus he and Christa might barter for some JetBlue buddy passes, LOL.

Since we were right be Pru's place, she met us at the coffee shop.  And since Trey had been texting Christa about how hungry he was, I decided to take everyone to Polly's.  Pru is having a hard time right now and it looks like she might be taking up a spare bedroom.  We'll have to see how that progresses.

Well, it's jeans day at work so I'm off to be casual.
