He opens a window and spits in your face.Okay, that’s a little overly-dramatic, but sometimes it just seems as though when things go wrong, they go WRONG. Lately Mr. Kiwi and I have had a hard couple of days. Nothing too bad that we can’t overcome, but still.Saturday night after the Lakers/Clippers game we went to, I took Woofie outside for his bedtime walk. On the way back into the house, he underestimated the curb and ran into it, knocking his little kneecap loose. He whimpered and started limping. The next morning, we took him to the vet who said he’ll have to have surgery. Apparently this is very common for little dogs. So we need to use some of the wedding fund (which is meager at best) to fix our little guy, since his well-being is more important than that one day.The day we brought Woofie home from the vet, our toilet had broken. It still flushes, but takes literally hours to fix. Our house is a mess of Christmas decorations that still need to be put up and laundry that needs to be done. It is far from acceptable to have our landlord in to check it out, so before we get the toilet fixed, we must organize the house. Which brings me to why we haven’t done that…Last Tuesday I wasn’t feeling well, so I decided to make an appointment with the doctor for my sore throat. The day of the appointment my throat was okay (isn’t that always the way?) but I did have some odd lump in my cheek. I have an infected gland which is why I’m majorly sick. I was given a week of antibiotics and a new inhaler – because I’m that cool.Sadly, Mr. Kiwi and I had a meeting with a floral designer last night, but couldn’t make it. Mr. Kiwi has a car that has sucked for awhile, and it’s really on its last legs. I promised him we’d use whatever money we were gifted towards a new car after the wedding. It looks as though the car won’t wait until the wedding to die, so we may need to get a new (old) car. Which in essence, is our wedding budget. As I said before, some things are more important than a wedding.For once, we’ve saved a lot (to us) of money. We’ve been so proud of ourselves, being all responsible and stuff. So right now I’m feeling a little down, like nothing can go right. I’m awfully tired of “dealing” with these little hang-ups. And yes, this is a bit of a self-thrown pity party, but it just feels like things are trying to make it as hard as possible for us not have a wedding we want. I hate being poor. 
How about you guys? Ever feel like life is just working against you? I hope I’m not the only one!

It just seems like cruel irony that the heavy wedding season coincides with hurricane season in the Bahamas/Caribbean. I blame it on the wedding industry

It was time to kick off the celebration! We invited all of our OOT guests and my Pop’s bruddahs to join us for our quasi-rehearsal dinner. Quasi, because the wedding rehearsal was scheduled for the following day, and our wedding the day after. Moving the rehearsal dinner up a day was a tactical move on our part. We wanted our friends to get loose and enjoy themselves without worrying about headaches, oversleeping, cravings for pho (best cure for hangovers), etc. on the day of the wedding. They had all day Friday for some R & R. Yup, our friends can definitely throw back a few. 
We hosted our dinner at Tiki

BFF Bridal featured C.O. Bigelow’s Mentha Lip Shine today as a cool product to put in your hospitality basket in the bathrooms for the reception.
Now, these are super cute, but $375 for 50 containers of them seems a bit pricey. (If they fit your budget, you can get them at Vivre.)I have been working on putting together a list of what I need to get for bathroom baskets…What have you seen at weddings that you thought was really thoughtful/helpful, and/or what are you doing for your wedding?
