well... my dad and my fiance got together for a cup of coffee today. i've heard from both parties that it was a great time. and i quote (from my dad) "i really really liked brendan. i thought he was terrific". not too shabby huh? what can i say... i think he's pretty terrific too. b enjoyed himself as well. i'm happy that he's had the chance to get to know my dad first hand. they had plenty to talk about, my dad can be quite a good conversationalist. i myself have enjoyed many good chats with him. before the soon to be father-in-law/son-in-law get together, i was a little nervous. there was no pre-established protocol for such things, seeing as my dad had never done such a thing with tim. but all went very well. hooray!

invitations are just about done. the electronic invites (that are going to approximately 95% of our guests) will be sent out on the weekend, but the paper invites (sent to 10 guests) went out this afternoon. they were a bit of a hassle, but brendan thought they looked amazing. unfortunately, the paper invite i made for andrew (because he's old school and doesn't have email) got mixed in with the rest of the envelopes and i popped it into the mailbox along with the others. which is sucky because it didn't have a stamp on it (b was going to hand deliver it). so hopefully it won't take too long to return to me. the annoying thing is that he lives 3 blocks away, and it's no more difficult for the post office to deliver it there than it is here :S

and brings it to the heart strings.
