A little frustrated today

They say to worry when things are going too smoothly... and I have been finding out why. Now, it is not a major snafu, and nothing that we can't overcome, but the chair rentals etc that we are having to do for the wedding are now going to cost basically twice what I was expecting, partially due to a 275 dollar set up fee. I know that this will make life simpler on the day of the wedding, as all we will have to do is decorate the tables for the reception, and put up some decorations outside, but when I am in the budgeting stage, that just looks like a lot of money I wasn't planning on. But at least I know now, and I should have the contract for the caterer signed by Halloween, which is basically all I need to do as far as outside vendors.

On the dress, I think I have decided to go simple, and make the dress out of a silk dupoini (a rough, textured silk) and embellish the bodice and the hem. Cheaper, more classic, and I think more fall-like. I am looking forward to Christmas when I can show people the run through dress and get some opinions. Not to mention going home for Christmas... this has been one rough semester!
