Bridal Shower #2

26 Days to go....
I had a lot of fun this weekend at my second bridal shower. Everyone is so kind and generous. I enjoyed being able to spend the time with everyone especially my 6 year old niece Destiny. She was a joy to have tugging on my arm the whole time.
We had wonderful food prepared by my church small group along with neat games hosted by my future mother-in-law and great gifts provided by all attending. Josiah and I are nearly set for our life together thanks for all the gifts!

I'm scheduled to have my bridal photos taken on Sunday. I'm very much looking forward to that. That will be 20 days until my wedding. YAY!!!

The results of Bridal Shower #1

I had a blast at my shower the other night. I got to see so many people I care about and just enjoy spending time with them.
I received some encouragement on good ways to strengthen my marriage. For example, Martha gave me a frying pan to keep Josiah in line. :)
It was also nice to have my mom in town and have that experience. She was so kind and purchased some end tables for me along with my douve and cover.
Things are moving right along with wedding planning. I'm going to have my bridal photos on the 28th.
I'm 33 days away!!!!

Bridal Shower #1

Due to the volume of people I know I've split my bridal showers up. Tonight is one with close friends and co-workers. I'm getting really excited, especially because my mom is flying in for it. I'll write all about it a different day.

Invitations

Josiah and I spent last Friday getting invitations ready. It was quite the process to get 300 envelopes labeled with both an address and return address, stamp them and stuff them. It took me quite a while to cut out our registry insert cards on our paper cutter (which we decided to 'invest' in for the project). It was fun because we watched Enchanted and Hairspray while doing it. And BOTH movies were Josiah's pick! :). It was nice to get them all done. I went to the post office on Saturday and got the bulk of them in the mail. I finished off the last few Tuesday morning and got them on their marry way.
So far I've only had 1 returned and that was because I forgot to put a stamp on it. They are DONE!!!!!!!!!

Saturday of fun 42 days to go

Yesterday I was able to go get fitted for my dress. Everything is ready for my dress. I have my shoes, bustier (sp?), hose, and vail. I was able to chat with my parents about all kinds of wedding details and things are coming together.
WOOHOO

Good News!

The envelopes, registry inserts and tissue are all ready! I just have to pick them up....

Super Bowl stuffing party here I come!

Did I mention my dress is finally in?? I am planning on going on Saturday for a fitting. There should only be 2 minor adjustments (I bet the seamstress spends about 10min in alterations). YAY!!!!!

The wedding odds and ends I finally got to see

I was able to go up to Layton with Josiah and see all the stuff that's been ordered. We got to see candy, our engagement photo on canvas, our gobblets, our guest book, and my jewelry. My siser is doing an absolutely fanstastic job and she showed us the sketches of the arrangements and we were very pleased.
Josiah had a couple of great ideas and Jenni is going to look into them and see if she can acquire them.
We plan on getting the invitations all ready this weekend! It'll be a super bowl stuffing party :).
