Finally An Update

Wow! Time has flown by! I have been so busy with my first year of teaching, but we have also been VERY busy planning!! Many updates to share, so I have broken them up to make it easier to read;

DJ:
Mom and I went to a bridal show in January and got information on DJ's. I really liked one of them, so Matt and I set up an appointment to meet with them. Our meeting went really good and they answered all the questions we had. We are getting a bigger package which includes our monogram, t.v. screens to show pictures on, and the most important part, some uplights that will give our reception site a little more atmosphere and extra lighting.

Catering:
We looked at Schnitzelbank's menu and called them to do a tasting. The food we tasted was wonderful, so we set our menu with them. We are so pleased with our food choices! Hopefully our guests will like it as much as we did.

Photography:
We met with the photographer and went over the style of pictures we want at our wedding. We also set up a date and time this summer to take our engagement pictures...almost two years after our engagement! :) Hoping to get some great pictures to put in our frames that our guests will be signing!

Bridesmaids:
I had been on the hunt for bridesmaid dresses for a long time, and Mom and I decided to go to Macy's just to see what they had. We found the bridesmaid dresses!!! They are so beautiful and comfortable for the girls! I can't wait to see all of them in the dresses on wedding day!

Groomsmen:
At the bridal show mom and I went to we signed up to get our tuxes at Men's Warehouse and got an extra 20% off each tux. Matt and I went into our local Men's Warehouse and picked out his tux as well as the ones for the groomsmen. They are going to look pretty spiffy!

My Ring:
We got the ring that I had picked out a while ago over winter. They were having a huge sale so mom my went ahead and got it and then we were able to pay her back very quickly. I absolutely LOVE the ring that I picked out. It makes my beautiful engagement ring stand out from the band! Thanks mom! You're the best!!

Matt's Ring:
Tonight we went and picked Matt's ring out. I tried to get him to go more fancy, but he just wanted a plain band. I actually love the one he ended up picking. We had to order it in his size, so it should be here in 50 or so days, although we have plenty of time!

Wedding Dress:
I took the wedding dress to Monica over winter break and she has been busy working on it. I am supposed to call her this week to schedule the next fitting, the first one since the alterations. I'm so excited to see it, but also very nervous. There is something worrisome about taking your mother's wedding dress apart. Can't wait to lay eyes on it to see that everything is how we thought it would be...I will keep you updated!



Well, I think that is all the updating I need to do! I can't believe it has been so long since the last one, but this last month has been a big planning time for us. With so many things getting accomplished, I am getting even more anxious for our wedding. Everything is all coming together and I can picture it all in my head!

Hoping to post again soon with more wedding updates!

Until then...
