tvordljFun with Canada Post: Only cost 16 dollars for three small parcels. I had to slightly crush one thing to fit it through the slot that meant it could be sent as a thick letter, it's just the little box inside, but the present in it won't be harmed. Yeah, it was wrapped and if the recipient mentions it, i'll just blame Canada Post!
But the best news that really made my Monday is this: Remember that I had found a dress i wanted for the wedding but then it went out of stock before I could order it? I had been showing someone just last week, all they had left was a small size in black but she got the idea of the dress. I ordered a pretty skirt and top instead just in case. Today, less than a week later, I decided to peruse the site to see if there was anything worth getting for the "Cyber Monday" 15% off. I ran a list of dresses in my size and looky there... the dress was on the result list. Huh? There was nothing there last week in the size.... well, let's see, then. Yep, my size. AND my wedding colour!!!!!! Can you say EXCITED?? You bet I ordered it! The 15% paid for the shipping and even then, the total cost was $60.99. Yep, that's right. For my wedding dress. (Graham if you do read this, don't you dare click that link!) I got the confirmation email but i won't be able to be completely confident that it's really going to be in stock until they send me the shipped notice! It should arrive before Christmas (10 - 12 business days).
I was also messaging my friend who is going to do the ceremony. She's applied for the special license for the wedding (she is a minister in the province of Quebec so has to have a special ok through her church to do a wedding here and have it be legal) We were discussing readings. She knows we aren't religious so it would be fairly low key in that respect but there are some nice Bible verses that are about love and marriage but that don't pull religion into it. I don't mind those. She asked if i was going to carry a dime. Yes, yes i am and she asked if she could mention it. I thought maybe. Then i thought no, that will probably have half the guests in tears, me included :) I don't know where i'll have it, perhaps I'll attach it to a ribbon on the bouquet. I just had a thought. I'm going to ask Graham to draw a dime in the corner of the artwork. It'll be identifiable because the coin has a schooner on one side so if he does a round coin with that on it, it would work. It doesn't matter if it's not in proportion to the design if it's in one corner, I think.
