I found a new source of Gocco supplies locally in Boston, but I'm not telling where because I don't want other aging hipsters to buy up the rest of the stash. I printed the new reply cards last night and we've still got to perforate them before we can work on assembly and mailing. Whose idea was this again?
Just got off the phone with the sales office at the Marriott. The weddin' room block is confirmed, as are the rates! I'd mentioned rates a while back, but if you missed them, here they are again:
Courtyard by Marriott; Norwood, MA
$89/night, king
$109/night, two queen beds
To book your reservation for the weddin', call Central Reservations 1-800-228-9290 for the Courtyard by Marriott in Norwood, MA. Just say that you're with the Karapetian/Daly wedding and you should get the special rate.
Driving directions are here in terms of getting from the hotel to the ceremony/reception site.
By the way, if a lot of people are planning to come together on the same flight, please let me know! I'll look into booking a group rate thing with your airline of choice.
Also, in case I didn't mention, I recommend for those of you travelling by plane to fly into Logan Airport. Don't bother with Providence - it's a waste of your time and money. Sure, you'll save a couple of bucks, but it's a big pain in the ass to get to/from there. Whatever you save on airfare will be spent on extra travel time.
There are two Annikas, or perhaps Annikae, who will be flower girls at our wedding. Annika #1 is Annika Julien, 4-year-old daughter of our friends Doug and Miyoung. Annika is smart, beautiful, and a big girl! Annika #2 is my niece Annika Cooper, age (currently) 6 months! She's a very big baby for six months with big, curious blue eyes and a great deal of vocal projection.
The Annikae shall be dressed in Us Angels:
Style 228: Spaghetti strap dress with Silk bodice and embroidered Organza party skirt. Colors: Kiwi/Pink.
We ordered them last night at Priscilla of Boston. You know, outfitters of famous brides such as Jackie Kennedy. They really do have some beautiful dresses. Some of their dresses look similar to the one that I chose, so I was happy. There was a beautiful veil on display - WAIT! This is about the Annikae! Okay, refocusing.
The Annikae. Yes. Well, Niece Annika is still a little too little to walk, so she'll be pushed along in a stroller by my sister (if you couldn't figure it out, my sister is Annika's mother). Or maybe the other Annika could help her out? Hmmm... I didn't think about this. They'll have some manner of throwable thing to toss down on the floor at Byblos. You know, like petals! Hee! Imagine that! They'll also get to wield some manner of fresh flower, probably in the form of circlets worn on one's head.
I am forbidden from discussing the financial details behind the wedding flowers, but I can at least tell about what kinds of flowers may be involved...
Yay! They will be coming from A Bella Mia, the florist I mentioned in an earlier post. They're a small family-run shop in Norwood and I highly, highly, highly recommend that you utilize their services! Marie is extremely nice and I cannot cannot cannot wait to see what she comes up with for me! I told her to feel free to take artistic liberties... I saw what she's done for other brides and I was delighted.
