Nice!! It is definitely good to know people who work at lots of different places. Sadly, I only seem to know other accountants, and they can't help me at all with a wedding :rolleyes: LOL

We went to a bridal show today and it was awesome. We got a few freebies and loads of info + ideas :happyboun

What a beautiful dress! I love the simple elegance of it. Nice to hear I'm not the only one trying to keep it small and intimate.

Love your dress!!!!

I actually skipped our bridal show last weekend! I went to one in the fall and there were tons of great ideas, but a million people calling me (still) trying to sell things that I don't want. I am not good at saying no lol so it's uncomfortable for me! I'm glad you had a great day though! I do like the free goody bags :D

That is so awesome that everyone got their dresses!!!

We just got home from our engagement shoot! Our photographer was awesome and made us feel really comfortable which was good! He said it will be about 4 weeks before we get our retouched photos since he just did three weddings that he is also working on. Good enough for me! It was sooooooooo cold though and I thought my fingers were going to fall off at any moment! In between locations I had my hands bundled up inside my shirt sleeves lol. Luckily there is still a lot of snow around the river, although the river isn't even frozen over yet. It's wintery enough for me!

Finished our favors!!! Woohoo

I can't wait to see some of your photos!

Oh there will be time. My wedding is March 24th and my first dress alter is Feb 16, that is what the bridal store set up too, based on the wedding date! You'll have plenty of time! :)
I had a 6 month engagement also. Engaged in Sept, married in March! We are having an 'off season' wedding, which around here is Nov - March. That means that vendors are freed up a lot allowing them to cater to you more and work with a short engagement. Its worked out wonderfully so far! we'll see how it goes on the wedding day! YIKES!!!! :)
I can't believe it, 54 days to the wedding! Time is FLYING by!

We made 95 8oz jars of homemade grape jelly from the Concord grapes in our yard for favors. We boiled them, strained them, made the jelly and canned them all!!! It was 3 full days of work, then we made labels for every jar and tied ribbons/bows around the lids. We are going to put stickers on the top of every jar with people's names and table (placecards) so people take the jelly home! We finally finished them this past friday night (except the placecard part), what a relief!!!! Our centerpieces have a bunch of little pieces, but we took wine bottles (empty of course) and spray painted them with chalkboard spray paint. We are naming the tables different wines, which we will write on the bottles. Then we have a bunch of fake grapes and votive holders with those LED votives, my mom made the holders, they are wine corks glued together and onto a cork coaster with a white ribbon tied around them. We got the wine bottles all sprayed, so now I need to put ribbon on those ... and then I'm done all wedding presentation prep work! YAY!!!!! :D

Postage ?
 

About to send save the dates... Anyone know if A2 envelopes need extra postage??

I don't know, but my invitations had a ribbon around them and the postage was $.64 because it can't go through the sorting machine. If you aren't sure, take a sample one to the post office, they will tell you for sure and help you. Hoe exciting for you!!!!

We bought an invitation kit from Michaels... I will save the story about the coupon and the swearing for another time :rolleyes:

We are going to get a consultation with a decorator tomorrow night. Now that we have decided to have our ceremony in our house, Oz will of course be a big part of our day. Any recommendations on where we can get him a tux???
