April Showers Bring May...Blackberries

According to "professionals" we should have locked in our florist back in January. Who thinks about flowers during Winter in New England? Apparently The Knot thinks by putting a pink "!" next to the checkbox on "THIS MONTHS TO DOS" will make me conquer this task quicker. Like I need a pink exclamation point to tell me I'm behind. The "gurus" over at The Knot obviously don't take real world circumstances (or bank accounts) into consideration. Come on, you have a multimedia editor and youth crisis counselor financing their own wedding; bear with us, people! Please, back in Jan, all Joe & I knew was that we were getting married. We did a whole lot in those first four months, as you can tell. It wasn't even until the end of March we even had a place to hold our wedding! We figured we'd just have you all follow us down to City Hall on 9.26.09 and maybe have a pubcrawl after.

Flowers! Who cares about flowers when you don't even have a freakin' place to party!?

Since Joe & I have stepped up our game since January (actually have a place, someone to marry us, and someone to play a few tunes for our guests), my mission this month (four months late), is to get a stinkin' florist. However, every FAQs list online for florist is for your typical "wedding florist" and there's no way we're paying that kind of mark up. We're going with a wholesaler, who I have no idea what you are supposed to ask...and I absolutely dread making redundant phone calls around to vendors. (Wedding planning ain't all it's cracked up to be ladies). But speaking of "crack," I think Joe only bought my new Crackberry so I wouldn't have excuses to not get wedding $%&* done. What can I really come up with when I have phone, email, and internet at my disposal no matter where I am?

Oh yeah, "Sorry babe. I was blogging!"
