the first of march came around and suddenly s and i were bombarded with reminders that the wedding is TWO MONTHS AWAY! the world is ending, the planning must begin and i must stop ignoring the emails from the knot telling me about all of the things we are not doing.
in an effort to head off future meltdowns, s and i sat down one fine sunday night and made a list of everything we needed to do over the coming weeks. our tasks mostly entailed checking in with our vendors to make sure that everything was ok (i.e. they remembered who we were, that they were still in business and ready to show up looking clean and shiny on may 17th). all of our vendors are top notch and got back to us quickly and with much enthusiasm to be part of our day.
that being said, the award for most committed vendor must go to our photographer. i emailed him to say hi and to start discussing scheduling for the morning of the wedding. in response, i received an out of office message stating that he was out of the country on a photo shoot and would return emails on march 21. no biggee, i am ahead of the curve so i could have waited.
two hours later i get an email from him apologizing for the brevity of his email and letting me know he was traveling from ethopia to dubai on a photo shoot. seriously. he emailed me from some very far away country about my wedding in may and even remembered who i was? amazing. add to the fact that he can actually take pictures and i am feeling really confident.
as a side note, where do i find the job where i can take pictures in ethopia and dubai?
