I knocked this out pretty quickly. I love the gradient tool in Illustrator. I don't quite understand...

The Night Before...
and the first two nights as man and wife....
Just because we're getting married at our home doesn't mean we're staying here the night before or right after...well he'll be home the night before but me and my MOH will be staying in a nice hotel then Cliff and I will spend the first 2 nights as newly marrieds in the same room before we leave on our honeymoon on the 7th.
It has a king size bed and a jacuzzi! And a pull out couch for my MOH! We've booked 3 nights at the Visitors Inn for $182.33 per night Total-$ 546.99 Bonus! FMIL is paying for this for us cause she was going to pay for the venue and now that she doesn't have to do that she's helping us out in other ways. |

Wedding Reception
This will be our look for our reception. All white, red and black.
We'll be adding kitkat bars to the candy buffet table. Yes, he talked me into his grooms cake! He's a WWE nut! He wants a tag team champs belt with my name on one side and his on the other. Silly but could be cute, I guess. |

Pissed off at our venue!
It's off....
we'll just be getting married and having our party here! We went to pay the remainder of what we owed for the venue and they started adding all these fees and by the time they were done, the bill had almost tripled!
FORGET THAT!!! We've decided our house is big enough to do all this here. Hell, we're only having 20 guest plus us two plus the officiant so 23 all together. We can clean out the living room of furniture, get some folding chairs and do our wedding there in front of the fireplace then have the reception in the basement. We have 2 huge rooms down there. 1 can be set up for dinner and 1 for dancing. We'll just get 3 or 4 tables for the meal and we can use our CD player for music. Best part? It's free and we can decorate exactly like we want. |

Wedding Decoration
Memory Table
This is how we'll be doing my parents memory table. I bought a corsage for my Mom and a boutonniere for my Dad and those will be on that table. Instead of 2 pics there will be 3, one of them each separately and their wedding pic in the center.
