This update is long overdue!

First of all, we have booked our wedding and reception location, The Heritage Hotel, located downtown, near Baywalk. We have also decided to move the wedding indoors due to many reasons. The lobby area is really beautiful. It has a beautiful fireplace, the perfect spot for the wedding. The price is really affordable.We decided to go ahead and book all 3 rooms. We are able to go in and decorate the night before, saving me from having to do it the day of. Also, included in the price of booking all 3 rooms I get a free suite the night before the wedding. Erica, Kristyn, and I are going to stay there the night before to decorate. Anyone who would like to stay there following the reception, let me know as I have to book them in advance to get the block rate of $99.95 a night.

I finally got my dress! The two I picked out earlier weren't really what I expected so I had to start over and pick something else. David's Bridal got rid of the dress combination I chose for my sister, so we had to pick a different color combination. Here are the dresses:

----------------------------------

My mom has completed the centerpieces and they turned out perfect. She wont allow me to upload pictures of them, as she doesn't want random visitors stealing her idea and using it as their own.

I spoke with a mutual friend of Matt and I, Brandon, who said he is still willing to DJ our wedding, which is great news. That will save me a ton!

Invitations were printed out last weekend and will be mailed this weekend.

Mom and I will be ordering the custom made M&M's sometime in the next few weeks.

Everything seems to be falling into place. I still need a photographer, a male officiant (Matt's special request), and chair covers with sashes. Oh, and all the other little things, like gifts for the attendants, guest book, cake service, etc.

I think that is all for now. More to come later.
