Paaaast... the point of no return..... the final threshhold!

Invitations are now even more key than they were before. In fact, they determine if John and I are getting married on time or not. Based on our current timeline for invites (out May 4, RSVP June 3) our invites have to be printed no later than April 1. This will now be called the "point of no return" (or PONR, for short). We now have three scenarios, each with the possible job combinations we would need for this to occur.

Scenario 1: We get married on 7/3. Ideal.

How we get there: John and I have jobs.

OR

John has a job (I could have no job or a temp job in this situation)

OR

I have a job (he could have no job or a temp job in this situation).

Scenario 2: We postpone. Sadness.

How we get there: John and I don't have jobs

OR

We have temp jobs that are not temp to hire.

Scenario 3: We move the PONR. This is the least likely, and will only be considered in the following situations:

John or I has a temp-to-hire job that will be decided soon after the PONR. The other partner does not have a job

OR

Both John and I have a temp-to-hire job that will be decided soon after the PONR.

If that were the case, we'd move the RSVP date (which we kind of don't want to do, because there's a lot of things we don't want to make or buy until we have RSVPs) thereby moving the printing date. We would only do this if we knew we could find out about the permanence or lack thereof in the job within the next 2 weeks.

Scenario 3 is really possible though, because I just interviewed for a temp-to-hire position within the company I'm currently contracted to. It would go until the end of April, at which time they would decide whether or not to hire me. I could probably find out 2 weeks beforehand if they were planning on hiring me or letting me go, though.

I hate uncertainty.
