“Intimate,”I reply while Logan disagrees.“Love, you deserve a fairytale wedding, even if we’ve little time. It is the only one we will have. “
“He's right! How many guests will there be? “
Here, both Logan and I thought we would invite our comrades in arms, our teams, leaders, families, friends, relatives. The list has become quite consistent, especially since all Aspen knows us and we have ties. “This could be a problem.”
“No, Katherine, your every wish is an order, tell me the approximate number.”
“520 guests... more or less”
“Oh, sweet mother of god ... sorry, Katherine, how did you intend to make an intimate wedding with all these guests?”
“I do not know. But the positive thing is that we also have the location.”
“It is absolutely not feasible here.”
“No, not here. Sundeck would be willing to host us… what do you think?”
“From what I know, they are fully booked until August, but it would have been ideal.”
“They told us this morning that whatever date we chose they would do their utmost to accommodate us.”
“Then I don't argue. It’s an amazing place. The wedding date?“
“As soon as possible,”Logan replies.
“I need a certain date. So I can proceed with the invitations. “
“Actually, we've already done those, a friend of mine has a print shop.”
“I love you, but I still need a date.”
“Between February and March, I don't want to stress the last month of pregnancy.”
“I agree. Let's make February then. February the 21st”
“Great, now let’s talk about flowers”
“I love amaryllis and burgundy calla lilies. But I don't know if you will be able to find them in February so I leave the choice to you. As far as colors go, I would prefer white and burgundy anyway. I will add a burgundy band to the dress and shoes of course. “
“I absolutely love you, and for the flowers, I will take care of everything. Don’t worry about that.”
The interview goes on for at least two hours. Philippe is truly a treasure, tries to please us both and has brilliant ideas. When we finish, he hugs us and leaves.
I'm so tired that I'm going to lie down while Logan goes to get Angel.
They wake me up at dinner time and I take this opportunity to speak to the girls so we all move to the office to finish the little things that Philippe asked me.
After dinner, I get the drafts of some invitations and when we choose our final version, we send it to Philippe who obviously replies with an“I love it and I want one, too”. I think love must be his favorite word because he says it often.
CHAPTER 25
December
Angel's birthday party was a successful surprise. Having the house full of people has definitely exhausted me but seeing my little girl so happy was worth all the effort.
Between the preparations for the wedding, work and the pregnancy that’s becoming increasingly tiring, we are heading toward our first Christmas.
In Italy, Christmas is felt in people's hearts but not always in the air. Here, however, Christmas is different. It gets into your bones.
