Wedding Preps

Dave and I managed to get the house cleaned up in time for friends coming from out of town--to at least not find our house a disaster area. We pushed the twin piles of 'boat stuff' and 'stuff for the yard sale' into a corner of the living room and threw a blanket over it. And we got the upstairs back bedroom emptied of 10 years of my accumulated paperwork and 'computer stuff' and set up with shelving to use as a storeroom. Dave supervised this operation and it looks now properly ship-shape, and will be perfect in the long run. (in the short run, 2 days before the wedding and under time pressure, it was somewhat if a traumatic effort)

We exchanged several emails with 'the preacher' to finalize the wedding ceremony. Dave's good friend Tom Service suggested his good friend to perform the service, as being a man of God but one whom understood free spirits. Ken suggested a near perfect approach in his first draft to us and we only made a few edits. (The only mistake we made was selecting vows to say to each other that were too complicated... now we had to practice to make sure we didn't screw them up.)

Nicki and my brothers and sisters made it to town early and we got to spend a nice evening together tonight at the Islands Fish Grill, before things get busy tomorrow.

Well, we are as ready as we'll ever be. No cold feet.
