This is naglehad23's Orange Wedding!

HERE ARE SOME PICS OF US GETTING READY AND THEN WAITING FOR THE FESTIVITIES TO BEGIN

TOOK THE PARENTS AND THE BRIDAL PARTY TO LIBRETTI'S AND GAVE THEIR GIFTS TO THEM.

AMY DID A GREAT JOB!!! I LOVE THE CURLS IN THE BACK AND WHEN I GET THE PINS IT WILL BE WONDERFUL

WE ARE HAVING A ROAST PIG AND MUSSELS AT THE COCKTAIL RECEPTION JUST TO NAME 2. CHATEAUBRIAND, CHILEAN SEA BASS, ROASTED FREE RANGE OF CHICKEN, AND A PORTOBELLA MUSHROOM STUFFED WITH VEGGIES FOR ENTREES.

THE BRIDAL PARTY MY MOM MY AUNT JENNY AUNT DEBBIE LAURA LISA AND JAMIE C ALL WENT TO AC FOR MY BACHELORETTE PARTY. WE ALL WENT OUT TO DINNER WITH MR. B AT POLISTINO'S AND THEN WENT TO THE BAR. WE HAD A GREAT TIME AND I REALLY ENJOYED MYSELF. EVERYONE SEEMED TO HAVE A GRETA NIGHT AS WELL. PICTURES TO COME!!

I MET WITH THE FLORIST AND SHE CHANGED MY GIRLS BOUQUET A BIT. I THINK I LIKE IT A LITTLE BETTER WITH A FEW REAL FLOWERS BEHIND THE SILK ONES. I WAS ALSO ABLE TO ORDER MY BOUQUET AND THE FLOWERS FOR THE GROOMSMEN AND MOTHERS.

I SPENT THE DAY GETTING THE STENCIL READY TO TRANSFER. MY BOSS CUT IT OUT FOR ME. I THINK IT LOOKS GREAT!! ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. I WENT TO MICHAELS AND BOUGHT 2 OF THE PUMPKINS THEY SELL THERE. THEN I USED MY WOOD BURNING KIT WITH A EXACT O EDGE AND THIS IS THE RESULT

TODAY I WENT WITH MY COUSIN CHRISTINA FOR MY MAKE-UP TRIAL AND I THOUGHT IT WENT GREAT!!!!!! MISSY DID SUCH A GREAT JOB. I KNEW SHE WOULD BECAUSE SHE DOES IT FOR CHANNEL 7 NEWS AND SHOWS.

STRESS IS KICKING IN!!

I ASKED THE WOOD SHOP TEACHER WHERE I WORK TO MAKE A CUPCAKE STAND IN THE SHAPE OF A SUGAR MAPLE LEAF. SO THIS IS THE PROTOTYPE HE MADE FOR ME AND I ASKED HIM TO ADD ONE MORE TIER. WE ARE GOING TO COLOR IT THE COLOR OF FALL LEAVES



******************************UPDATE*************************************
THEY FINISHED THE CAKE STAND FOR ME AND I THINK IT LOOKS GREAT

TODAY WE WENT TO THE BAKERY AND ORDERED OUR CUPCAKE WEDDING CAKE. I JUST HAVE TO FIND A NICE STAND TO HOLD 180 OR SO CUPCAKES. WE ALSO ORDERED A 7 INCH CAKE TO CUT WITH HAZELNUT FILLING. I WILL POST PICS OF THEM WHEN AFTER ALL IS SAID AND DONE.


********************************UPDATE**************************************

PICTURE OF THE ACTUAL CAKE WITH OUR PERSONALIZED CAKE TOPPER.!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS GREAT EVERYONE LOVED THEM!!! THE CUPCAKES HAD A SUGAR OR GUM PASTE LEAF ON THE TOP AND IT MADE THEM LOOK GREAT

IF YOU CAN NOT READ THE WORDS FROM THE PICTURE

Just a few thoughts to ponder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully
TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.
THREE Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.
FOUR. When you say I love you, mean it.
FIVE. When you say, 'I'm sorry,' look the person in the eye
SIX. - Be engaged at least six months before you get married.
SEVEN. believe in love at first sight.
EIGHT Never laugh at anyone's dream. People who don't have dreams don't have much.
NINE. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely.
TEN. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.
ELEVEN. Don't judge people by their relatives.
TWELVE. Talk slowly but think quickly.
THIRTEEN. When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask Why do you want to know
FOURTEEN. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
FIFTEEN. Say 'bless you' when you hear someone sneeze.
SIXTEEN. When you lose, don't lose the lesson !
SEVENTEEN. Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others; and responsibility for all your actions.
EIGHTEEN. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
NINETEEN. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
TWENTY. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.
TWENTY-ONE. Spend some time alone.

I SURPRISED HIM WITH A CAKE TOPPER THAT I KNEW HE WOULD LIKE AND A GARTER HE IS GOING TO REALLY LIKE. I WENT TO FUNWEDINGTHINGS.COM AND PICKED THIS. THEY HAVE LOTS OF THINGS ON THERE. IF I GET A GROOMS CAKE THIS IS DEFINITELY GOING ON IT.

SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 14, 2008 MY MOM, MR. B AND THE GIRLS THREW MY BRIDAL SHOWER FOR ME. I GOT TONS OF STUFF AND HAVE NO PICTURES YET.

**********ALSO THE GIRLS GAVE THE FAVORS FOR THE BRIDAL SHOWER THAT I ORIGINALLY WANTED PURSE HOOKS FOR THE WOMEN AT THE BRIDAL SHOWER**************************** THE WEBSITE WILL PERSONALIZE THE LABELS FOR YOU. THE WEBSITE TO GO TO ORDER THEM FOR AS LOW AS $3.15 IS

ONE OF HIS FAVORITE ITEMS ON THE LIST CAME IN TODAY. AUNT JOY, AUNT HELEN AND NICK SENT US THE BEERTENDER. HE WAS THRILLED AND WANTED TO PUT IT OUT RIGHT AWAY

TODAY I RECEIVED MY FIRST RESPONSE TO THE WEDDING. IT WAS FROM MY COUSIN PENNI AND IT WAS A YES. OF COURSE I KNEW THAT BUT I WAS EXCITED TO SEE IT.

THIS IS THE RING HE WANTED. HE DID NOT WANT ANYTHING EXTRAVAGANT. I LOVE IT. NOW FOR HIM TO GET THE ONE I WANT

I BOUGHT THE MOMS KEY VALETS. THEY WILL HEP THEM NOT TO LOSE THEIR KEYS IN THEIR POCKETBOOKS. FOUND THE WEBSITE ON ANOTHER BLOG. SAMMOON.COM CHECK IT OUT THE WEBSITE HAS REALLY NEAT ITEMS

THEY ARRIVED TODAY. UPS DROPPED THEM OFF. I LOVE THEM. HOPE FULLY THEY WILL TOO

SENT OUT THE INVITES YESTERDAY. SOME PEOPLE GOT THEM TODAY ALREADY. I AM GETTING EXCITED NOW. WENT TO PHOTOSTAMPS.COM AND HAD THESE MADE UP.

GOT THE GIRLS REAL CUTE THINGS AND GOT THE GUYS COACH WALLETS. JUST THINKING OF WHAT ELSE TO THEM. MAYBE CUFF LINKS NOT REALLY SURE YET.

HAD TO CHANGE MY WEDDING PARTY. THIS WAS THE WORST DECISION I HAD TO MAKE IN MY LIFE THUS FAR. FEEL MISERABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO THE DRESS DOWN AT THE BOTTOM FOR THE MAID OF HONOR IS OUT. I ASKED MY COUSIN PENNI TO BE IN THE WEDDING AND SHE SAID YES. SO NOW I FEEL BETTER!!!! FELT BAD ASKING HER WHEN I ASKED ALL THE OTHER GIRLS BECAUSE SHE WAS PREGNANT AND I KNEW SHE WAS GOING TO HAVE ALOT OF EXPENSES WITH HIM.

WENT TO MEN'S WEARHOUSE TO GET THE GUYS FITTED BUT I COULD NOT SEE THE TUXEDO SO WE WENT TO DANTE'S AND THEY HAVE A TRY ON POLICY SO YOU CAN CHOOSE WHICH LOOKS BETTER. WE GO FOR THE TRY ON ON FRIDAY. CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WILL POST PICTURES ON SATURDAY


OK SO HE AND I WENT ALONE TO THE TRY ON FOR THE TUXES AND THE GUY DID NOT HAVE ONE OF THE COLORS. WE ARE GOING WITH THE FLAT STYLE TUX SHIRT WITH THE PAISLEY TIE AND VEST. HAVE TO GO BACK FRIDAY FOR ANOTHER TRY ON WITH ALL THE GUYS

********************************UPDATE********************************
LOUIS LIKED THE WAY THE GOLD LOOKED ON HIM AND HE PUT THE GUYS IN THE RIVIERA CAFE.

I booked the Residence Inn for the night before the wedding to ensure all the girls are with me and will be there the day of the wedding. I also booked the hotel for the night of the wedding for me and him.
