it's official...

...engagement pictures have been taken. (sneak peek on facebook...)
...save the dates have been mailed!
...invitations were ordered, and they are here!!
...my wedding dress is in, and ready to be taken to mrs mary to get it hemmed!!
...we have ordered the fabric for the bridemaids' dresses and they are getting their measurements taken and whatnot by the end of august.
...decided on shoes for the wedding ceremony...or actually lack there of for shoes. decided that the girls, as well as myself will go barefoot for the actual wedding but then just flip flops for the reception. i figured they would want comfy shoes for the reception anyways and i dont think i would like closed toe black shoes b/c with the floor length dresses it would look like they don't have feet, and then i didnt' want the height difference to be extreme-which it would be with heels so, i just decided on no shoes!
...decided on wedding favors for everyone.
...we have figured out drinks for the wedding and how we are going to organize that.
...ordered our "grand exit" supplies...aka sparklers that we are getting on sale b/c one of the girls' other brides had extra and we are buying them from her for cheaper
...anna's dress has been bought
...working on music and order for ceremony...which is a whole lot harder than i ever expected.
...still trying to figure out hair for the wedding, getting your hair done for a wedding is freakin expensive...ahh!!
...we have had our tasting with the caterer and the food is going to be freakin AWESOME!


still need to do list:
-drew's ring
-groom's cake (details)
-grooms gift
-order bridesmaid's gifts
-details for smores station...
-figure out hair situation

quick update...for aimee

*officially set up the disney honeymoon registry on-line.

*got a call from the bridal gown place and apparently the veil and the wedding dress don't match-uh oh! we are going to go by on saturday when i am in memphis before JENNY's WEDDING!!! hopefully it won't be that bad and if anything we can re order the veil to match, but we will see when we get there

*anna has her flower girl dress. mom and i found it in memphis last time i was there and then brittney found it at the store when they were at the beach so she was able to get a 30% discount and bought it down there, excited about that

*set up date for engagement photos with starla at camp, july 12th i think-it's a sunday, that should be fun!

*still working on the invitations and deciding what we want and what we want them to look like...this process is much harder than i was expecting!!

*oh we decided that the family is going with an all black/cream route, so that our family pictures are going to be STUNNING, i am excited about this!

*bridesmaids dresses are going to be hand made...the same lady that is doing mom's dress, and mama j.o.'s outfit will be making them as well. she's going to alter a david's bridal dress to fit the girls better, with more of an a-line skirt

*plans are in the works, invitations almost done for our wedding party weekend at pickwick, it should be fun, i just hope most of them can come!

...believe that is all for now, i will eventually post more updates when we figure out more details!

"let all you do be done with love"

so drew and i have had it with target...so i called today and canceled the registry and registered at bed bath and beyond...it was sooooo much easier! and i know i bitched about bed bath and beyond earlier, but apparently it was that one time when i went in there and the one girl in customer service was not very nice, because the people i saw today were amazing!
