193 Days Until the Wedding

If Matt doesn't put up the tux info right away, guys, it's because he hasn't been feeling too well. I'm sure he'll get to it soon.

I meant to post this link earlier today but forgot. Check it out. You'll be able to see some interior pictures of our hall.

194 Days Until the Wedding

Matt & I just returned from our Engaged Encounter weekend yesterday. We both really enjoyed getting away from our busy lives & focusing just on us for an entire weekend. And we discovered that we're doing pretty well on working out all the "problem" stuff that a lot of newlyweds struggle with. We've still got some things to work on, but it wasn't anything we didn't already know.

When we got back to our side of the city, we went to the mall & Matt picked out the tuxedos at Men's Wearhouse. Guys, check your forum for the details of how/when/where to get measured and all that good stuff. Matt should get that all posted later today.

Currently, we're getting ready to send out our Save the Date magnets. We're very excited about them. Amanda designed the butterfly for us based on the stamp that Grandma is using to make the favors. Hopefully once they're out more of our friends & family will read the journal and visit the forums. This is what the cards look like:

200 Days Until the Wedding

Ashley has asked to step down as a bridesmaid. And while we're sad about her choice, we understand her reasons. We still hope she'll be able to party with us as much as possible.
Matt & I did a little shuffling and Steve Coad will now be Head Groomsman and he'll escort both of our mothers into the church (since neither of us have any brothers to do that) and he'll escort Matt's mom in to the reception. Matt's dad will escort Sarah, and that way there's less awkwardness with that, and everyone in our families gets to be announced at the reception.

210 Days Until the Wedding

Yesterday, I talked to my Aunt Linda & she told me that Beth & Samantha have been measured & their dresses have been ordered. She said she absolutely loves the dresses (a big HOORAY to Lisa & Ginny for picking it out) and that Beth is already talking about other things she can wear it for. Lisa's dress size is figured out, and I've got Amanda's measurements to give to Tammy... now I just need to get Ginny & Ashley, and the elder four have to put their downpayments down, too.
