Hi there, everyone! I kinda feel the need to apologize for being a bit distant lately, but I have my family here, and I've been extremely busy playing hostess to everybody and catering to individual needs. It's 2 days before our wedding, and last minute arrangements have just been made.

It looks like we'll be having about 500 guests

, and we're all very excited.

I still have time to sign onto OPF several times a day, but it's a bit difficult for me to follow the threads the way I used to. Once all my visitors leave, I'm sure I'll be back to being the old blabber-mouth that I've been 'till now.

Enjoy all your Paris planning. I'm sending hugs and kisses to all of you.

You haven't experienced life until you have breathed Paris.

Shoesy, this is the very last thing you should be worrying about! Go enjoy the big event - the board will still be here when things calm down, and you can tell us all about it (and post pictues, I hope)!

Still runs with scissors, still colors outside the lines, but also plays well with others!

I'm sending you a huge hug and wishing you and your family the very best and warmest wishes for the forthcoming event. We all know that you are here in spirit even when you are busy........Have a wonderful time and try to enjoy it as much as you can, remember that even the hostess should be allowed to take a rest every-so-often ;D

Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, it took one amateur to build the Ark and a bunch of professionals to build the Titanic.

My goodness Shoesy - you are definitely the hostess with the mostest...not only are you days away from a huge wedding, but you are worried about us here... ;D

Of course we understand that you are (quite rightly) occupied elsewhere.

I hope that the wedding day celebrations are everything you hoped for. Best wishes to you and your family on such a happy day.

holger: It really does seem as if the site is moribund. Too bad and as I no longer have emails for anyone on my computer just want to wish you all well. I do check periodically but mostly now go to slow travel and the France forum there. Apr 22, 2015 7:54:32 GMT -5
