*new wedding reception location-we are officially booked-with deposit paid-for Le Pavillon in memphis. its a beautiful venue that will be inside and outside with a tent. its beautiful and has amazing floors, from bricks outside, to different wooden floors inside, marble floors, and then slate tile floors--absolutely beautiful!!!! so amanda took some pictures on her camera for me and i will post them eventually...
*wedding cake ordered-its awesome, from cakes by mom and me in west memphis i will save details and pictures so that on wedding day you can be surprised! just know that it's going to be beautiful and taste amazing!
*flowers looked at/picked out/priced-flowers are not cheap! just so you know, but we are working with this amazing florist and he's got some amazing ideas that will hopefully begin to take shape over the next months!

*changes*

really, it's one change...but it's a pretty big change. we have decided to move the reception location for several reasons but the main reason is the fact that the dixon does not/will not allow sparklers on the grounds-and "the sparkler exit" was one thing that i did not want to compromise on, so i believe *fingers crossed that the date is still open* that we will be moving the reception to Le Pavillon. It's a beautiful place and i will post pictures after our 2nd tour tomorrow!

313 days

so, possibly some bad/negative news.
so as i have said on here before i want sparklers for our "grand exit" and this is something that i have wanted since before day 1 and i have told my mom this as well as the wedding planners. well as they were getting ready to finalize the contract with the dixon they finally asked and the possiblity of being able to have sparklers is now slim....BOO!! so i have talked to mom and if the dixon will not let us use sparklers for the reception then we will probably move the reception...we most likely have a "back up" where sparklers shouldn't be a problem, but when we get that figured out i will post it!
a not so bad of negative type of news...
on MLK day we get to do some more wedding planning. and this time amanda and hopefully danielle will get to be there as well. we are going to start looking at invitations, flowers and i think we are going just over the bridge to meet with the cake people!! so exctied about these things!!
k i will stop rambling now!
oh, p.s. we are now registered at Target for some things-however i am sure that things will be added eventually ;)
