Quick update

Just a quick FYI: Finals are over (and there was much rejoicing!), and the wedding was perfection incarnate. I have never been to/part of a smoother production. It was wonderful, especially because it was also the biggest one I have ever been to, with 250 people. The wedding cake (4 teirs=264 servings, close to 80 pounds of confection), had only about 30 servings left, which is a miracle in and of itself. The first two layers (10 inch and 12 inch, respectively) were cut, served and demolished in a record 15 minutes because cake provider E, boyfirend M, and myself became cake serving demons. I was very grateful for the entire crew, the DJ, and how much Heavenly Father blesses us with what we earnestly pray for. It was a great party, and a fantastic weekend.

Hi-diddly-weddings-ho

Hi ho hi ho weddings away! In a recent tally of existence, it seems that my life has been taken over by two things: preparations for finals, and weddings. LOTS of weddings. After helping out with a wedding in March and one in May, I have graduated to full blown strawboss-hood. In just under two weeks, I get to take on a big wedding reception as the main person in charge. I am really excited about this! It’s the kind of situation where I figuratively crack my knuckles and say “Bring it ON!” The main stress about this is that it is directly after finals week. I have finals M-Th, and then wedding stuff on Friday and Saturday. It’s going to be a crazy busy week, but I look forward to being able to help a couple that I love very much.
That is one part of the wedding-y-ness in my life. Another couple that I love dearly is getting married in July. I have been aquanted with the bride for two years, and very close friends with the groom for a year. He and I saw each other through some of the nastiest, bottom-of-the-barrel, romance mill emotion that has come into our respective lives. That he is marrying an incredible woman who treats him like the amazing man he is, makes me extremely happy. I love happy endings! Life will not be easy for them to begin with, but I have seen what they are capable of dealing with, and they will be guided through it. I count it a high honor that I have been asked to help as these people that I care for deeply begin their lives together.
