Can't hardly wait

So the cake meeting went well. It sounds like Katie will be able to make us the most beautiful and delicious cake I have ever tasted! It already sounds amazing.

We scheduled an appointment with an officiant we found online and are hoping the meeting goes well.

We are slowly recieving many of our reception response cards in the mail. It looks like we might have nearly 80 people coming which is great, it will be standing room only!

My mom has been getting pretty emotional lately, she can't believe her daughter is getting married, she said "these last 24 years have just flown by!" She kept mentioning that she can remember the day I was born just as if it were yesterday and how amazing it will be to see me get married the exact same day of the year. I just hope her tears are because she is so happy! Ha ha.

I know my family is incredibly happy for us because they love Jack. He is a wonderful guy and they are so relieved that I found someone like him to be a part of our family.

It sounds like our next big task is setting up and working with all of the lighting.

That's it for now...

Target has been great!

Yesterday I spent a good amount of time finding some more decorations at Target. I keep getting more and more excited! I also returned a few items that we didn't need and bought some things we did which made me feel great because I know we aren't wasting any money! The great thing about buying our decorations is that we will be able to reuse them again in the future! I still don't want to give away anything so everyone will just have to see it when the big day comes!

I am meeting with Kathleen and Katie tomorrow to do one more dress fitting and to discuss my dream wedding cake! I thought Jack would want to have more say but his only request was that it not be chocolate. I didn't have a problem with that at all!

Today and tomorrow will be spent trying to find some more baby pictures for the montage. Since my family and I have moved numerous times in the last 5 years, I still do not know where a majority of things are.

I have heard from many guests that they have gotten their invitations already! I am so glad everyone liked them! We are having a black and white wedding with hints of red.

I have been checking our wedding registry often and have come to realize that the sales change daily. Many of our items continue to be marked down which is great.

Our biggest concern of the moment is trying to find someone to marry us. We do not want someone extremely religious. I have given this task to Jack so we will see who is available. I had no idea it would be this hard to find someone. Orginially we had hoped for someone we knew to marry us but it turns out we don't know anyone.

Less than one month!

Almost one month away!

The wedding is nearly a month away and we are so excited! The invitations should be arriving in everyone's mailboxes either today or tomorrow! We got a great deal on make-your-own invitations and we had a blast putting them together! The deal was almost too good to be true!

My dress has been fitted, I am meeting with Katie on Friday to discuss more of our wedding cake plans! I have always wanted a marzipan cake with snowflakes, I can't wait to see it. The tuxes are rented, the guys are going to look so handsome! I would have to say that I am most excited to see Jack in a tux and to see my cake and flowers! I keep saying to myself that wedding planning should not be this easy....it has actually been affordable so far and that is great news!

We have been assembling our group of pics for the video montage and I can't wait to see the final product.

We hope everyone is doing well! Keep your eyes open for those invites if you havent yet got yours.

Wedding Details

Kami and I spent yesterday at Michaels looking for some decorations. Jack rented his tux, we ordered his ring, we finished with our gift registry and almost everything else is falling into place! I have posted below our wedding site that includes more details for everyone.

Only about 40 days to go! Our parents could not be more excited about our decision to have a local wedding as opposed to a court house wedding, he he. Any other questions please feel free to call.

Things are coming together!

This may be shocking but we have FINALLY made a few official plans! We are getting married this Decemeber and on the 19th! We want to have it at Jack's parent's house in the evening. I have created a pretty small guest list because I have always wanted an intimate wedding and there is limited space. I bought my dress yesterday which was very lucky for me. I found it on Thursday, tried it on on Friday and immediately fell in love with it. After an hour I bought it! I absolutely love it and hope that Jack will think I look incredible!!

We are stilling working on getting our marriage certificate and finding a judge to marry us. There will be cake, drinks, and some food. We will be sending out invitations soon!

We are registered at Macy's but are still working on completing our registry list. As of now, I believe that is the plan. After the wedding, Jack and I will be spending the weekend at the Redmond Town Center Marriott for a small get-a-way!

So SAVE THE DATE
