We all know how quickly time goes by. It doesn’t seem possible that Calvin and Vicki’s wedding is less than two months away. I ordered a dress back in March, which just came in. I have a fitting scheduled for next week, which is good because I leave for Seattle May 26, so now I’ll know how much I can eat during my trip (I’m thinking a stop at Trophy Cupcake is in order). I’ve ordered shoes and a wrap as the dress is sleeveless. Always a good idea to be prepared for a chill even though the wedding ceremony will be late afternoon on a patio that faces west. (Reminder: bring sunglasses—which will be good not only for the sun, but because I’ll probably cry.)
The entire event is at Musket Ridge Golf Club in Myersville, MD. The reception is indoors, after the ceremony—dinner and dancing which should be fun, although I think Henry and I need some pre-wedding practice! The kids decided one venue for both the ceremony and reception would work the best given the accessibility issues some of our older family members have. After all the months that Vicki and her mom have spent planning, it will be fun to see it all come together.
The mother of the groom really doesn’t have too many obligations. Throw the rehearsal dinner and show up on the big day. Vicki just got dates and times to have a rehearsal at Musket Ridge and the minister’s availability decided it: Saturday at around 1:30 pm. I have the rehearsal dinner scheduled at Dutch’s Daughter in Frederick Saturday afternoon following the rehearsal. I still need to firm things up with the planner, because we don’t have the times quite pegged. Dutch’s Daughter is one of our favorite places and a Frederick icon. I wanted to host the festivities at one of our local restaurants because it’s a great way to introduce any non-local guests to our community.
It’s beginning to look like the groom will have more family in from out-of-town than the bride. That’s not saying much, as my family is quite small, but I don’t often get to see my close childhood cousins as we are spread out over the country, so this wedding will be a mini family reunion for us as well. I think most of the wedding guests will be friends of the bride and groom, so I expect it will be quite the party.
And anything that is destined to be quite the party deserves a certain amount of “spiffy”.
