The Chapel=DiSASTER!! - im so upset!

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 13:42:00 PST

so the chapel we are supposed to be getting married at in 12 days decided to call me friday and tell me that we cant get married in there due to a leak thats been going on for years and now the roof is about to FALL IN!!!!! i was like, and you tell me this 2 weeks before the wedding??? they didnt give us a choice to take a chance, they told us we had to find some where else to get married. they refunded us all of our money. i was so upset. BUT... the church next door owns the chapel, so theyre going to let us use their church for free to get married in. we went and looked at it and its a lot bigger and it is really pretty, so i guess it will do. we were just really excited about getting married at the chapel because it was the first church built in our city, so its the oldest here, and it is so pretty on the inside!! but i guess all that matters is that i am still going to be able to get married to the love of my life. i told him if we had to go to the courthouse that day to get married, that we would haha!! im glad the church is right next door so everyone that we sent invitations to will see the sign that we're having made that says the wedding is moved to next door. other than that, everything is coming along great. im going to pick up the favors and programs tomorrow, then i'll post a picture of them!! 12 MORE DAYS!!!!

Who all is having a lingerie party?? - I AM!!

Wed, 09 Apr 2008 20:30:00 PST

I didnt even know until today that a couple of my bridesmaids are throwing me a lingerie shower. And i will be blushing through the whole thing. I get embarassed with this kind of stuff! but hopefully i will live through it!! haha!! cade thinks its a great idea of course!! i think itll be fun!! no telling what some of my friends will buy just to see my cheeks turn red!! i think its going to be next weekend, then we're going out to eat and have some drinks for the bachelorette party!!

Rehersal Dinner - some changes

Wed, 09 Apr 2008 20:12:00 PST

So, our rehersal dinner is downtown at a restaurant called The Waldron. We had to book the downstairs because there was another rehersal dinner that night and they had already booked the upstairs, which is what i wanted :(..........because we were just going to have to close off part of the downstairs instead of having the upstairs to our selves. Well, the restaurant called us yesterday and said that: THE OTHER COUPLE HAD CALLED OFF THEIR WEDDING SO WE COULD HAVE THE UPSTAIRS!!!!!! ****YEAH FOR US, (sad for the other couple that called off their wedding) BUT STILL I WAS SO EXCITED!!! NOW WE'RE UPSTAIRS WHERE NO OTHER PEOPLE WILL BE AROUND AND THE BAR WILL BE RIGHT BESIDE OUR ROOM SO THE MEN CAN GO OUT AND TALK OR GET A BEER OR WHATEVER.**** So now we can decorate the room the way we want too and dont have to worry about other people being around us and all the noise that came with having to be downstairs!!

Ring - i FiNALLY TOOK iT TO GET CLEANED AND SiZED

Wed, 09 Apr 2008 20:00:00 PST

So we took our wedding bands to get sized last monday....and i also finally left my engagement ring to get sized! i know i know, i should have taken it a long time ago but i just didnt want to leave it there for a week. well they called yesterday and said it was ready, so when the fiance got off work we went to pick it up. i go in, try it on and its still too big......i was like did yall size this?? they were like, "oh were we supposed to size your engagement ring too? we thought we were just supposed to clean it!" i about FREAKED out!!! Well yeah you were supposed to size it, i see where you wrote it down on that piece of paper right in front of your face!!!!!! so......im still without my beloved engagement ring. for now, im wearing a fake one!! haha!! hopefully itll be done by friday. our wedding bands are done, but i'll just pick them up when my engagement ring gets done too!! i just miss it so bad!! :( OH! and i got the bridesmaids their pearls. theyre wrapped up so cute!! i'll have to take a picture of them and put it up!!! the jewelry store wrapped them in ivory paper with brown swirlies on it and a light pink bow......to match the colors of the wedding. i thought that was a nice touch!! yeah!!!

GETTiNG CLOSER!! - yeah!!!

Tue, 08 Apr 2008 20:51:00 PST

***SORRY I HAVENT UPDATED, THIS FREAKIN SITE HAS BEEN DOWN ALL WEEKEND!!!*** So this week the bridesmaids dresses came in and all my girls went and got them fitted or went a head and took them home!! the guys have been fitted for their tuxes so they should be in really soon!!! We met at the church sunday with my 2 wedding directors and went over everything. Where flowers would be, where bridesmaids and groomsmen will stand, where candles will be and a whole lot more things. Then we went over to the reception site, which is right across the street, and went over where all the tables and food will be. I took the programs today to be printed. It'll take them about a week. Our favors should be done this week. what else??......um......we've been working on our house to keep us busy and to help time go by faster. we've got 2 more bedrooms to paint and we still have to finish the kitchen, so i cant wait for the house to be done. OH!! what do yall think about us switching places with the minister....instead of our backs being toward everyone while we're saying our vows, the preacher will have his back towards them and we will be facing them. everyone loves the idea and says they would like that because they can see us and the photographer will be able to get some good pictures of us. My fiance doesnt like the idea, hes old fashioned, but i think i'll be able to talk him into it. So im getting really really excited and cant wait for it to get here! my girls are planning my bachelorette party right now!!! yeah!!!!

Ask a Question - Invitations for the Rehersal Dinner!?

Mon, 03 Mar 2008 19:39:00 PST

Is everyone sending out invitations for the rehersal dinner? Or just calling and letting everyone know the times?? Just wondering! I didnt know if it was a "must" or just a "do it if you want"

SHOES!! - Need some cute flats!

Mon, 03 Mar 2008 11:25:00 PST

For the wedding I need some cute flats to wear. Im tall, 5'11, and my fiance is 6'3. So im looking for some flats but cant seem to find any that i like!!! They need to be ivory! I need to find some before i go to my next fitting which is in 2 weeks!! i really dont want flip flops! hopefully i can find some!!!

Ask a Question - TUXES??

Sun, 02 Mar 2008 16:55:00 PST

ok....im still really confused on what color to do the tuxes! i really love brown tuxes.....but....will this be too much brown since my bridesmaids dresses are also brown?? i went to a wedding over the weekend and the bridesmaids and groomsmen both wore brown and it looked so good! or atleast me and my fiance thought it did! he really wants brown tuxes? so what do you ladies think? if we do brown the vests will be light pink with a pink polka dotted tie like the one in the picture! i kind of dont like the idea of black tuxes with my bridesmaids brown dresses. ??????

Unity Candle Song - I Will Be Here-Steven Curtis Chapman

Sun, 02 Mar 2008 16:48:00 PST

I Will Be Here(Steven Curtis Chapman) Tomorrow morning if you wake up and the sun does not appear I will be here If in the dark, we lose sight of love Hold my hand, and have no fear 'Cause I will be here I will be here When you feel like being quiet When you need to speak your mind I will listen And I will be here When the laughter turns to cryin' Through the winning, losing and trying We'll be together I will be here Tomorrow morning, if you wake up And the future is unclear I will be here Just as sure as seasons were made for change Our lifetimes were made for these years So I will be here I will be here And you can cry on my shoulder When the mirror tells us we're older I will hold you And I will be here To watch you grow in beauty And tell you all the things you are to me I will be here I will be true to the promise I have made To you and to the One who gave you to me Tomorrow morning, if you wake up And the sun does not appear I will be here Oh, I will be here. its the last song on my playlist!!

Ask a Question - Should this be my something blue?

Sun, 02 Mar 2008 16:22:00 PST

I was going to wear my grandmothers diamond ring as my something old, but i cant if i wear this as my something blue! Ha! So what do you ladies think?? Grandmas antique diamond ring as something old or sapphire and diamond ring from mama as my something blue?? i also thought about having whichever ring i dont wear tied onto my bouquet. is that a good idea? or would you be afraid it would get lost? maybe something like the last picture for my bouquet?
