Something's changed.
So I've been thinking long and hard about the first venue we booked. . . and decided I didn't want it anymore. I wanted a place that had a lot more elegance and ease of use; unfortunately, all of this came with a bigger price tag, too! I believe, though, that it's definitely worth it to have what you want. I talked to my lovely fiance' and he said, "whatever you want, baby." - he's such a doll, that's why I'm marrying him! The place is much bigger, no time restraints in our day, built-in dance floor, easily accessible kitchen for our caterer, large windows with beautiful backdrops outside, there are large dressing rooms for the wedding party, AND this place is exclusively for us on the day we reserved. I feel so much more at ease.

Honeymoon
He . . ahem, we finally booked it!!!
With only 5 months until our ceremony we finally booked our spot on a cruise on the ship Ecstasy!! We both love to travel and have seen a few places but have never been on a cruise. So here we go. . . down through the Western Caribbean. 5 days of him, me, shopping, touring, clubbing, lounging, dining, and relaxing.
I'm so excited and can't wait to go. YAAAAAY!!!!! tags:

Cake
Finally decided on the cake. . . the first one is it!!! Met with my caterer on Saturday and she makes the BEST red velvet cake which is now our flavor.
I definitely didn't want one of those cake toppers with the little bride and groom. I think the monograms are really elegant. tags:

Ask a Question
Ceremony & reception all in one. . .?
We finally booked a venue to hold our small ceremony and reception - and it was the date we originally planned! After finding out the rules for the venue kinda changed we had to come up with a unique plan to utilize what we'd already paid and the amount of space we had. With that said. . . is it a little too weird to have the tables set up for the ceremony and reception all together?

The Proposal
April 25, 2008
This whole day was horrible for me. . . up until about 8 o'clock that night. He came to my house earlier in the evening to cheer me up with this big bouquet of irises. Later on we went to dinner - as usual on Friday night - but I noticed he was a little more dressed up than usual. I wanted to call it an early night because I was planning on heading in to work the next morning to try and lower the stack that was sitting on my desk but he was totally against it. After a little more convincing I gave in and went home with him to watch a movie and talk. After much fidgeting and word searching, LOL, he finally told me that he loved me more that life and would be honored if I would give him the pleasure of being his wife! And I cried like I won the lottery!!!!

Bridesmaids
After "window shopping" online for 2 weeks my girls and I went to David's Bridal to try on a few things. I pulled about 6 or 7 dresses off the rack and they tried them all on. This one stood out SO much, so this is what I went with - and they were on sale! Victorian lilac is the color we ordered them in.
