We're four days away from the big day, and I'm amazingly calm about the
whole thing; as a matter of fact, the wedding is probably the lowest-stress
part of this entire trip. Our wedding bands from
Boone Rings arrived (pictured to
the left; they're titanium with a tri-gold
Mokume-gane inlay),
Erica's grandmother's passport
finally arrived, and we managed to get pre-registered for a few shore
excursions (specifically, a dive trip in St. Thomas for Erica and I, and a
big family trip around St. Maarten); all that's left is the packing, and
catching a plane on Friday. While it might sound a little bit weird that
we have family accompanying us on the trip, it's actually pretty cool;
Erica's grandmother and aunt, and my mom and sister, have never had the
opportunity to go on a cruise before, so besides being a great way for our
families to finally meet each other (my family currently hails from the
Great White North, eh), we're able to
give a great opportunity to some family members that probably wouldn't
otherwise have a chance to take part in. We're all looking forward to it,
methinks.
