Changes

Is it normal to have second thoughts on things like your invitations? Not that I actually have them ordered, but I think they look tacky and cheap. Its frustrating, because this will be the third round of changes if I decide to make the changes. And I have a feeling it won't be the last...

We registered at Target on Sunday! Granted, its very tentative and we plan on editing it much more. But...how fun! We plan on doing Macy's and Kohl's also. OOooooh...Macy's is going to be fun!

Engagement Photos

So, finally about 9:00 the photos came up on the photographers website. I was going to let you guys see all of them....but, I changed my mind because we look SO stupid in some of them. What I'm going to do I think is just pick out the photos we want and then show everyone those. He took 380 pictures! Whew...yeah, we were tired of smiling. So, I should be picking them out on Friday and then from then it will be 2 days or so for delivery. ;-) Yea!

Engagement Photo

We did get to see one photo from our engagement session. This is the only one so far. The rest are supposed to be up on the website today, but they aren't up yet, but its only 5:15 pm. I'm very anxious to see them!!

Pretty bridesmaids all in a row

Yea! We have the bridesmaids dresses ordered today! I'm so excited! They are so classy and elegant, but SO beautiful and they look good on EVERYONE! I have swatches ordered, so if anyone needs one for flower girl dresses (Granny), table covers, shoes, etc, etc, please let me know. They will be here in about a week! Yea!!!!!!!!

Windy City

We got our engagement photos taken today. The city truly lived up to its name because it was horrible down on Navy Pier! It was super, super windy and very cold. Our photographer arrived at 4:00 pm and we didn't finish up until 6:30 pm, whew...long day. I am exhausted. We didn't get home until 8:30. The photos are supposed to be up on his site on Monday. I will keep you guys updated on that.

Been a Long Time

So, for the 2, maybe 3 people who read this, I thought I'd give an update on what is done and what needs to be done, and what is in the works. We have, I believe like 4 months or so. I don't remember what the last thing I reported on was, but I'll try my best and oh well if I repeat. The invitations are almost done. I think she has a very bad memory, because every time we get back the sample something is not right. For example, the paper we chose was supposed to be a different cardstock and she gave us the wrong one for the second time even though I told her what we wanted both times. My mom actually wants to tweak the invitations. They are fine to me, but if it makes her happy, by all means. But...the invitations are pretty much close to done. They are different and I think everyone will enjoy them.

The bridesmaids dresses (yes, and the 2-3 people who read this are all bridesmaids I think...) are pretty much done. 2 of the 4 have their orders submitted. The due date for those is May 14th, so...yea! And the flower girl dresses are being made by my cute Granny in a couple weeks. She did find the silk duponi fabric too! Any opinions for hair, boquets, or shoes for them??

The ceremony musician is about...75% complete. I have two guys that I want, but Tim may work with somebody that can play at our ceremony....but I don't think we know for sure yet.

Obviously, these are only the very large things. There are so many teeny tiny things that need to get done. (ie- menu selections, hair/makeup, centerpieces, etc, etc)
