Worldly Chatter

Two months will be here sooner than I think and there is so much to do! I spoke with my father and emailed my brother. They both are wondering about lodging; where would be the best place to stay? We live in Hilversum and that’s about a half hour from Amsterdam. Should they stay where we are or should they stay there in Amsterdam? One thing that has come up in conversation is driving or train. I am a fan of the train; I have to hop on one tomorrow to get to the consulate in Amsterdam. Yet if I and Dutchie have to either meet up there or have them meet back here it is going to get mighty expensive on both our parts and we are not the richest in Hilversum! Brother is trying to figure out where to stay so he can book his flight, there are many deals with hotel and flight combos but one has to know where to stay so they can book right? I have to call him again as well as other family members so we can figure this out. Brother really wants to book now, its usually cheaper than waiting to the last minute.

On Wednesday we have a photographer coming to our home after work to look at his work and talk about our wedding. Saturday is the day we drive to Eindhoven to look at wedding dresses and we need to go from their figure out what Dutchie will be wearing. Flowers also have to be taken care of and since we want them to match what we are wearing that is also waiting until after we get back from Eindhoven. We still need to plan a day to Den Haag and we are waiting to hear back about two places we were interested when it came to transportation on our big day.

I have to remember to talk to the Mrs. of the house over at my father’s home as well as my brother and see if I can get a hold of my sister. I need to talk to my father again so we can finally get something going. I fear these two months will fly by and I will be standing there a week before the wedding going ‘did we get everything done? Is everything taken care of? What about this!?” I fear I may freak when that last week comes. I do not want to but I am sure that a good old fashion freak fest will happen and Dutchie will be standing there trying desperately to calm me down. We have four people from my family coming and it all has to go smoothly. Arg, the freaking is already starting!
