Dress Making Vacation and More Wedding Worries

After 2 and a half days more in Wilmington, my wedding dress and bouquet are officially complete.  The actual look for it is top secret (I know I have family who reads this and don't want to spoil it for them ;) ), and I've made it myself with the help of my lovely bridesmaids.  We also had an evening sitting at the kitchen table together and putting our bouquets together to our satisfaction.  Most of the work got done on Monday though as Tuesday we all got enthralled by a marathon of an entire season of "America's Next Top Model".  Despite our best efforts to get up and do something productive, we just couldn't.  Then, by the time the marathon was over, my pregnancy hormones had be so wiped that I didn't even want to look at my dress.

Today, Wednesday, I actually finished the hemming on the dress as well as attached a loop to the train so that I can hold up my train easily while at the festival.  I'm very pleased with the dress and have all confidence that it's going to look awesome at the wedding.

Then this evening I get a call from my cake maker.  It turns out that he is expecting us to provide the cupcake stand for our arrangement, and he's also planning on driving up to set it up the morning of the wedding.  He lives probably a good 4 hours away from the wedding site, and the window for setup is between 9am and 9:30am by which time he will need to be off the premises.  I'm very concerned about this plan of his (not to mention a bit put off by finding out 3 and a half weeks before that we need to provide the cake stand).  I've got a bad feeling about this whole ordeal now with the cake.  We've got a backup plan, but because I'm a personal friend who I've helped numerous ways, I feel a bit put out.

Vacations can't last forever, and the reality is the wedding is 3 and a half weeks away.  It's definitely crunch time now, and there's no rest for the weary, even the pregnant.
