Busy day!

Yesterday was quite a busy day and we sure did get a lot done! We started out early in the morning and went to the hotel to go over the final guest count, the room layout, etc. Everything went well there so we were off to the Cakes by Carolynn to pay the balance on the cake and to order the cupcakes we will be devouring during the "decorating party" the night before the wedding. After that, we stopped by Bonds Jewelers to see if the boutonnières were ready for pickup, and luckily for us, they were. We will be handing them out at the rehearsal dinner. Up to this point everything was going smooth, and it was off to my dance lesson. The dance "trainer" was really nice. The dance looks really pretty. I hope I dont mess it up!

Oh, while we were at the hotel earlier that morning, there was a wedding scheduled for that afternoon and my mom asked if we could peek into the room to see how they decorated. We noticed their cute ideas for their table names, so of course, we stole them. We are now changing our table theme from gemstones to movies that have something to do with weddings. The table names we have selected are: Father of the Bride, Meet the Parents, The Wedding Planner, The Wedding Singer, The Wedding Crashers, The Princess Bride, ...Ever After, The Wedding Date, and the last one has completely slipped my mind. Later this week or maybe even today, I will be posting the seating chart.

22 more days!

Oh my! Only 22 more days until I marry my best friend. Its approaching so fast!

The tuxedo shop has still left us in a heap of a mess. They found our order, however, they deleted the best man, Mathews brother, Gregory, from the wedding party. They also have his stepdad in there as part of the wedding party AND as grandfather, which he is neither. Matt is going down there tomorrow and fixing this as it needs to be taken care of immediately.

I had to remove my bridesmaid from my wedding party for a few reason, some of which are personal and do not feel like airing out over the internet. I did find my replacement, however. We went dress shopping last weekend to get her a dress. Unfortunately, things were quite hectic as nothing would fit her in the colors I needed. We didn't have time to order anything as it takes 3 weeks to come in and if she had to have something altered there would be no time to do it. The sales lady was quite out there and all over the place which didn't help my nerves. We ended up finding something that goes with my scheme. I hope Val wasn't lying to me and the dress does in fact fit and shes not just saying that to calm me down.

Here is a picture of our bridal party:


What do you think?

I have a dance lesson lined up with my dad for next Saturday. I have chosen Heartlands I loved her first as our daddy-daughter dance.

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