Today, we were supposed to meet Starry Nights Catering at 7 pm. They ditched us. Matt, called and apologized all over the place. He was kind and easy to forgive! Atleast he’s calling us back and being accountable UNLIKE Court in the Square who has been completely aloof and treated us like we were unimportant.

Summer & Matt’s RSVP

Tonight I had a girls night with Summer, Danielle and Whitney. After all the work on the wedding lately it was so nice to just relax. We made my new favorite cocktail… Sake, Cointreau, and Lime Juice. Delish! I made tuna balls and edamame, Whit brought pad thai, Summer made lettuce wraps, and Danielle brought cake. YUM!

We had foot baths, painted our toes, and attempted to watch a movie… but as girls do… ended up talking instead. 🙂

What I accomplished today:

Made part 1 of flowergirl gifts (cute!)
Tied about half of the 22 ribbon decoration for the chairs.
