One week ago, when I again woke up from a lazy phase of wedding planning, I tought my biggest problem was that no one answered my e-mails and I don't know how to have my hair and to wear or not to wear a veil. Now I have a new problem. No one answeres calls, or espacially the churchperson (vaktmästaren). I need to know if we can have candles in the church, but does she/he answer? No.
One interesting thing in wedding planning is the husband to bes contribution to the planning. In this case it has been very low. I guess Micke doesn't feel it is a job only for the bride, but that he just can't do any sort of planning or fixing. I have tried a lot, asked 1 million times for him to get more engaged and do something, after all it was he that wanted a wedding in Finland in a church and I would have been happy just doing it in the "maistraatti" and then re-do it on a paradies island. But no. It just does not work. He has no clue whatsoever of what could be smart and he doesn't know how to find out and ooohhh.... And then he forgets, or does not do it. So I still have to worry about that thing and in the end be responsible for it. Not like.
So I have realised, that if we survive this planning stage, which not have been nice at all, we have to survive the rest of our lives. But I would never again take up the project to plan a wedding with Micke, it just doesn't work.

Shopping for honeymoon
I have been active, active today. Got around 4-5 pages written about theories on remittances, a lot of e-mails concerning the wedding written and I also did some honeymoon shopping, and also small scale packing.
I am sure it will be like in the nightmares when you forget everything you wanted to bring for the trip, so starting to prepare on time. Sunlotions, showerstuff, mosterising and so on. Also saw a pair of flip flops and remembered that my last ones broke down in costa rica and those i bought as emergency flip flops are so horrible I neve want to see them again. Realized those are probably the only good pair I find this time of the year, so bought them even if they cost 15 euros. A lot for flip flops.
I am going to remember my pasport this time as you can see.
Short weddingupdate
Wedding things are getting clearer again. Yesterday we had a meeting with our toastmasters and one bestman and my mom. It is going to be a great weddingday. And then the Maldives. Waiting.

Bachelorette partei
What a day yesterday was!!! Won't go into many details but I had a great, great day, and now I am one step closer to getting married. Great food, great friends, embaressment, kekkonen with the lights, ice skating...
I am still just confused with 2 things. What did I need the "rivjärn" and the "hjärterdam" for?
Micke had his bachelor thing at the same time and in the evening we actally met up and Micke was the most amusing sight ever, he was really not sober. But that's how it should be.

My last big exam for a while
Tomorrow I have a mega important exam. If I don't pass it I am in serious problems, I won't probably get my bachelor degree this year if I don't pass it, and I can't retake the exam since there is only one time left to do it, and that is when I am on a paradise island with a lovely coctaile in one hand and the other in Mickes hand on the Maldives. So. Have to pass it. But still I am not studying.
I actually read the book, but it is a really difficult book and there is at least 350 different development theories, and people who have come up with these theories and toughts, and it is impossible to remember it all. Totally impossible. So I am doing on Micke's shool assignment instead, writing with a red pen (in word, the red color) what he should fix and change. Of course I am not giving it for free in the sence that I would change it. Just wirte what should be cahnged.
Next week I have to start writing on my bachelor thing, since I don't want everything left for the 2 weeks after the honeymoon, if it would be like that I would not enjoy paradise at all...

Eveningsnack
This was our healthy evening snack tonight. Don't they look pretty? Such a nice pink color. They are called Berlinermunk. Yum.
I had one on Friday also as an afternoon snack, but before that I have not eaten them in years. A good time to start eating them now when the size of my dress is decided and I should not gain weight. But they are so cute...

where did the pictures go?
Our weddinghomepage got some problems on Saturday. It stopped showing the pictures we had put there, very annoying, but I tought it would get fixed. It did not. So today I have once again uploaded pictures there, and we have a lot of pictures, but few okay once so it took a long time.
Don't like when technical things don't work.

what to see and do in helsinki
I have some friends, at least 3, coming to our wedding, and they will stay with us some days before in Helsinki. What fun things can you do or see in Helsinki or close to Helsinki? I really need help since the only thing I know is suomenlinna/sveaborg, and it is quite cold this time of the year. Help. Please.
Not stressing...
Hello!
So many things going on at the same time, but I am just gonna stay calm. Less than 4 weeks to the wedding. Less. Never tought we would come here. At the moment I feel that things are looking good with the wedding. From the start the most important thing was my dress, and my dress is nice, and in 1 hours I will get to wear it again. Happy me. I could live in that dress. So I refuse to stress about other things (telling myself). 12 snapssongs is too much.. or is it, or aahha.. or how to make to seating order, the tables, decorations... nooo, not at all stressing. I stop now.
Again, my bachelor thing. I tought I knew what I was doing, but could not find the data, it does not exist. So I have felt so much pressure from it last week, so I could do nothing. Realised I have to change the approach and that it is a minor thing and nothing to stress and worrry about, so now I know what I will do. Don't care if it is good or bad in the end. I will still pass, somehow. Hopefully sweden will accpet me to their shools even if it is crap.
My exam on Saturday won't go well, but since I have almost read the book (only 50 pages left) I think I should pass. It is a bookexam. The book is extremely boring, have read 20 pages every day and it has almost been too much. Just a lot of theories of development. A lot.
Have no clue how I will spend the summer, work, internships and so on, and won't probably figure it out before the honeymoon. But Micke has a job, and that is good. At least we will survive.

Cake tasting
One of these is our cake. They were all really yummi. We were 3 persona tasting, me, micke and my mom, and we all liked a different one the most. Luckily I had the best arguments for my cake, so now we will have a really good cake! The cake will come from a place in Ekenäs called carl de mumma.
We also talked with the priest and went trough things with him in the church. The ceremony will be good, I am just worried about what he will talk about in his speech about us, since our answers to his questions sucked. Micke got very little out of his mouth and I got stuff out but it was mega weird.
Why would we know why we are getting married now? Or what marriage means to us? Really difficult questions in times like these.
But as I have written before, it is just so natural to get married with Micke, we have probably since day 5 talked about it and we are just going with the flow. And marriage in my mind won't change anything in the relationship, just how the state and other people look as us as a couple. But no of these things even came to my mind yesterday. So we will have an interesting ceremony.

Enough alcohol
Now I am going to reveal some wedding secrets, so the person who does not want to know, should stop reading now.
We (me and mom) went to Tallin with Tallink. With car and 2 passengers for a day cruise it was 96 euros. If you go with Tallin the cheapest was to get alcohol is to order trough their pre-order system. It is absolutely the chepest. You get 24 Saku for 11,30, when it everywhere else is at least 13 euros. We did of course not order everything trough it, mostly because we did not know it was the cheapest. So the only thing we got from there was
- 20 bottles (0,5l) of Koskenkorva
- 18 bottles of Fresita sparkling wine
To diversify the risk of paying all too much we bought stuff from different places, and we found all the time cheaper places.
For the wedding we bought:
-7 saku
-5 lonkero
-2 perry light ciders
-2 dry apple ciders
-2 liters of whiskey
-1 liter gin
-3 liter baileys
-3 liters of cognac
-1 liter of gammel dansk
And additional to that, as the food drink, we have 72 bottles of sparkling wine. And in total we ahve around 60 alcohol drinking guests. I think it should be enough. More than enough. The total price for all the wedding alcohol is around 1100, so I hope the guests will enjoy it.
Thanks mom for the company and car!

Seasickness
I feel sick. It was wavy on the sea today. We bought the car full of alchol. Full. At least 20 packages with 24 cans. And 10 liter vodka. WIll update more some other day.
Tallin next
Today me and my mom are going to buy a lot of alchol in Tallin (cheaper there), and since my mom's policy is never to have too little, I guess we are going to buy all too much.
