Videographer good and bad

Tonight, we lost our videographer. His camera broke and it won't be repaired in time.

But I honestly didn't freak out. I figured it wasn't the end of the world.

I was resourceful, however, and got on my e-mail and found the addresses of other videographers I had been considering. Within minutes, one e-mailed me back and he is doing it for $400 with TWO cameras (the first guy just had one). I am sooo excited. Now we just need to track down the first guy to get our money back. He's been pretty straightforward with us, so I am not too concerned.

Aside from that, all the attendant's gifts are taken care of. I bought the kids candy and some water toys in their bags with their ringer bearer/flower girl/ junior groomsmen shirts.

I can't say what the bridesmaids got. I don't know if they will read this. But, it does contain booze. S is picking up the groomsmen gifts tomorrow (uh can we say last minute?)

Also tomorrow I am meeting with the house sitter. She was recommended by a friend and it's only costing me $50 to make sure my pups are taken care of. I worry about Mischka because she's a little insane. Trust me, it was weird having to write the sitter a note saying "Mischka is afraid of the back door...Mischka is afraid of the gate on her pen...Mischka is afraid of the beaded curtains leading into the bedroom...Mischka is afraid of loud noises..." I never considered Mischka a "high maintenance" dog, but it's appearing otherwise. She's just...scared of everything.
Tomorrow is the rehearsal dinner and literally cannot wait. My stomach is in knots and I'm still getting sick pretty easy (I have to watch what I eat). Tonight it was stir fry and pretzels and S got me to break into a bottle of wedding wine tonight (sssh!)
