I'm about to embark on the last leg of this trip- i.e. the flight back to CA. I've been in CT for a day and a half, which has been very quick, but very nice. Only one aspect was stressful (the hairdresser- more about that in a minute), and seeing my parents has been awesome. The whole thing has been:
1. Fly to Boston Motzei Shabbos, arriving Sunday morning
2. wedding Sunday in Boston, stay over with college friends,
3. Bus to NYC, Monday morning
4. Seamstress, last fitting for the wedding dress (this was a problem: she forgot to put me on her schedule, even though we made the appointment months ago. But she eventually fixed it, and all turned out fine in the end- but it was Not a pleasant hour, sitting there, waiting for her to do whatever work on it had to be done before I could have my last fitting, that I'd presume she'd have had done already, given that this fitting was Supposed to have been in January.) This was followed by a quick visit with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cynara_linnaea, to check on the ketubah border, etc. It's Totally gorgeous.
5. Train to CT, Monday evening.
6. Various wedding errands at home, including: acquisition of chuppah pole makings, visit to the shul to assign locations for the various bits of the wedding, organize with the caterer, and pick tablecloth and napkin colors, etc.
The last of these was the hairdresser, which was awkward at times, although the hairdresser is very nice. Thankfully, my mother managed to get the ideas across to her, when she was tending to hear everything that I said as the exact Opposite of what I was trying to convey. We never Quite did the whole hairdo, but we got the idea, I think (I hope), and it should a. look good, and b. use a Ton of hairpins and hairspray. For this once, that is totally acceptable. (Although with the general "oh, you look so good with curls, you should think about doing that sometimes, for events" might not go Totally well with the intention for a bit more thorough head-covering, after the wedding. But we'll deal with that later, as I feel out what my requirements are going to be.
7. And here I am, off again. It's been really lovely to be with my family, and I'd have liked a bit longer with them- but I miss H, and am looking forward to being back with him. And now that school work is done, I'm going to be in serious wedding mode, I guess. Here we go!
