Where did March Go?
I wanted to update everyone on how wonderful things are going and how thankful I feel! I am very lucky to have such a wonderful, crafty, supportive, and fun group of people I call family and friends! Planning this wedding has been so much fun because I have their help and participation in our special day!
Lately things have just been falling into place and each day I’m becoming more and more excited about our event!
Update on the wedding! Ryan, Jeremy and I went this past weekend and picked up all of the boys cloths! We are buying their outfits instead of renting. It seems to actually be cheaper this way and we can give them to the boys to keep forever!! They are wearing simple dress pants, white button up shirts, and vests. Having videoed a lot of weddings, Ryan says it is crucial that they are not stuck in something hot and uncomfortable. They will have their sleeves rolled up and basic white shoes on. Ryan picked everything out, and it’s totally his personality, which I loved!!! We were able to get all of the boy’s gear for even less than we budgeted for… I must share that we were able to get JCPenny white dress shirts on sale for $3.00!!! Cha-Ching!! Tonight Derek came over to try on his clothes and I found myself really excited and slightly emotional. This is really happening and it’s going to look gorgeous!
So all of the boys are dressed and ready!
I also had an attire sort of weekend! I had my first fitting!!!! My dress came in during the week. Ginny came with me for my first try on. It was even prettier than I remembered! I bought the dress in November. It was a fairy tale sort of day. Much more than a dress, the special moments were everything from the lady that did my fitting, the fact my Mom (who has survived lung cancer) was standing behind me, my sister had chills, my best friend had tears in her eyes, and top of it all , I could imagine the eyes of both Ryan and my dad when they see me for the first time in this dress! It was beyond the most perfect thing in the world. I will never EVER forget that moment. Trying on the dress made me relive that feeling and filled my heart with excited anticipation… I’m SO ready and giddy about our Wedding. Who would of thought… I’m such a simple, non-girly girl.
Other things accomplished include getting Ryan’s wedding ring, our honeymoon suite has been booked, fabric for table clothes purchased, candy table dishes and utensils, photo booth software J, and finishing up some chalk boards and picture stands!
We are a little less than 3 months away now!!
Next step is sending out the invitations by our goal of April 15th!!! More to Come!
