Some more party planning

So you would think that after planning a wedding, getting Akis' residency all sorted out, moving back to land, life should be slowing down to a nice reasonable pace. The decision to have our wedding in Greece meant that we would be looking to have a party back in Canada to celebrate with all of those folks who were not able to make it over to Greece with us.

While the thought of planning another event does at times seem a bit overwhelming, there is something much more relaxed that comes out of having done this last year in a foreign country. I guess I look at it now, and really understand that while you want everyone to like what you have presented, it is more about having everyone there and having a good time. The fact that I am/will be doing most of the planning is also a bit easier as I don't have to keep pushing Akis to get things done for me as I don't speak the language.

That said, we started early this time. Looked to book locations/people and get the word out. The invites were done and mailed out to folks. Securing the location of 'Jim's yard' will be spectacular, and I'm hoping that the weather will cooperate with us. The person for the food has been booked and the menu is in the process of being decided. So aside from food, location and securing some beer/wine, and even someone to record the goings on, things appear to be in order.

Hopefully folks will be able to make it up in August to celebrate with us.
