Of Weddings and such....

So...finally the day came. After all the fuss and all the worry, it turned out to be a beautiful day. I woke up to the sun shining...a good sign. Three of D's friends had arrived the night before and we had much fun sampling the pina coloda punch and partaking of the goodies his baker friend brought. He came in with a large pallet loaded down with quiche, pizza, sandwiches, pastries, etc., whatever...

Voila!

Well, I finished my dress finally! I spent last night hand rolling the hem which is always fun :p I think it turned out ok. Now I just need to make a wrap to match it and that will be one less worry on my mind. Today we go to the grocery store to buy all the goodies to make the fingerfoods.

What a quaint little place! This sign of the services offered gave me a laugh...you wont...

Paperwork = Hell

I was beginning to relax and think this would go OK...then...they told me my birth certificate and divorce papers weren't adequate. Seems I didn't get the proper apostille attached. OK. So I sent off to the US for the proper apostilles...one I'm still waiting for. THEN...

The pyrenees

D and I recently had to make a trip down to Toulouse to take care of some papers at the consulate. The round trip by train was around 130 euros Ugh! Just to get papers! So...we decided if we had come this far, we would go stay in the mountains with the family for a bit. I'm so glad we did. It was SO beautiful there. I felt like Heidi LOL! D had told me about the back breaking work they had...
