First, A funny wedding story.

I was thinking of this story while taking a shower tonight and thought I would share. One of the funniest, best examples of how crazy things were pre-wedding -
We wanted two photographers for the pre-wedding festivities and actual wedding ceremony - one for the girls and one for the boys pre-wedding and then during the wedding one to get us from behind and one from in front so one photographer wouldn't be running back and forth and missing stuff. Seriously the best money ever spent (not that we've actually even seen the ANY pictures yet).
Anyway, so we asked our photographer to recommend someone to assist him. He emailed her information. I emailed and got additional information and was supposed to mail her a check and a contract. But never got around to it. No kidding. Anyway, due to me never mailing her a check or a contract we had never actually confirmed her presence at the wedding. So seriously ON THE WAY to the wedding, with Cody, Melanie and Marissa in the car, I had Cody bring the laptop (since that's the only place I had her information), look up her information and call her ON THE WAY to the wedding to make sure that she would be there even though we never confirmed with her nor sent her a deposit or contract. Good thing she understood and was planning to be there. In the end she was FANTASTIC - perfect photographer for us!
Anyway, I thought that was cute - that we were calling our photographer on the way to the wedding - after looking up the number on the laptop, in the car - to make sure things were okay. So much for confirming things ahead of time. Though to reduce stress, I highly recommend all vendors be confirmed well in advance. :)
