The Count So Far

2 deaths-in-the-family of wedding party members.

1 well-deserved and long-overdue tantrum by groom.*

2 collapsings-into-tears by bride.*

9 unanswered phone calls and emails to rental agency about tablecloths.

1 colossal and inexplicable communication snafu re wedding site.

180 programs printed, folded, hole-punched.

180 programs ready to be ribbon-tied.

Uncounted many hundreds of extra dollars spent for dozens of things.

1 (of 2) types of beer unavailable at the last minute, after we’d printed the menus.

7 nights (and counting) of badly borked sleep.

150 wine glasses washed. (nearly done!)

3 wine glasses broken.

1 engagement ring not resized to wear on right hand.

1 visiting Italian auntie fetched from SFO.

1 uncle almost maybe probably coming or not coming.

8 or 10 or 14 or maybe only 6 people coming for dinner tonight. Unless it’s 7. Or 18?

50 people (plus 6 kids) coming to rehearsal dinner tomorrow. Unless it’s 45 (and 4). Or 52, or 53.

26 cases of wine and champagne in the barn. Minus some.

2 people still madly in love with each other.

2 days till the wedding! 🙂
