dresses (style #6553, in Glass Green with Pool
accent).
22-April-2009 Random
unplanned event - but we got our rings today!

for our invites! Got to pick up the bases of
them - now for designing, printing, and assembling.
19-April-2009 What's
funnier than seeing a bunch of guys in tuxes
with funny looks on their faces? Not much!
But regardless, they looked pretty good.
15-April-2009 Who
wants cake? Good! Because there's going to
be enough for everyone. We have officially

arranging some bouquets. Yipee!
And our wedding party is finalized, this is
getting so exciting!
7-April-2009 More
flowers.... one more trip and *hopefully* that
will be all I need. Why can't 1 Walmart have
all I need/like at once. Hate having to go
to both.
4-April-2009 I
Got My Dress!!! Well, ok, it's picked out...
won't arrive til mid-August, but still!!!!!!!!!

C900 (under the Richman Group).
Oh, also picked up my ribbon and bouquet collars/holders.
1-April-2009 That's
it, no wedding. Haha, April Fool's.
Seriously though, we now have the rest of our
invitation stationary! Yay, once the main part
of it is ready to be picked up (later this
month), we can start putting them together.
Also picked up some more of my flowers.
25-March-2009 We
picked out our invitation paper/pattern today!
Just need to find the paper we want to use
for the middle. Yipee!
24-March-2009 I've
got the first 2 sprigs of my flowers. It's
a start - see it, need it, get it before it's
gone.
Earlier So far
we've got our date, location, colours, decorator,
DJ, photographer, and pastor. Wow!
How do you convince a bunny to hop in a straight
line, down the aisle, and not eat anything?
