Bridal Photos!

I'm back! The last 24 days have been a whirlwind. Luckily some of my bridal photos have been posted on Olivia's blog. Enjoy!

24 hours...

24 hours from now...I'll be in my dress...at the church...and having my picture taken.

It's here. The wedding weekend is finally here!

I've been living the past week.

Hobby Lobby = Happy Bride.

With all the wedding odds and ends, I will say that Hobby Lobby came in huge for our wedding. Everything is on sale. Amazing.

15 Days!

We went to the court house today to get our marriage licence. Pretty easy - they didn't even ask us a single question. I guess I thought it was going to be a bigger deal than it was but none the less, it's off the to-do list and I can pick it up on Monday. Yeah - 15 days to go!!

This little light...

I will say that even though I couldn't get a candle wall built for our wedding (lack of time and I'm not very good with a hammer), there will be candles.

Lots of candles. To the point that the candle store lady (Doris) knows me when I walk in to buy...you guessed it...more candles.

I have my fingers crossed that the weather will corporate so my very kind friends can help me pull of a special surprise in the garden at the club.

If I have time in the next 19 days...I want to do this.

Sweet Moment

Mom & Dad - 1979

My parents, thirty years ago this July, at the their wedding. I love the looks on their faces.

Work Shower!

Love the cake!

The fab ladies of City Hall

My very sweet co-workers threw me a bridal shower today! Only 23 days to go!

At a wedding, I like to eat...

I need to nail down our reception menu this week and would love any suggestions you have. So at a wedding, you like to eat...

A calming moment...

I have this playing over and over right now while I try to remind myself that I can indeed accomplish our every growing to-do list.

Rentals

I discovered earlier this week that the table clothes that I wanted for the wedding won't be in on time so now I'm back to square one. A bright side in all of this is that I found someone locally that has hundreds and hundreds of table clothes in storage. Tomorrow, I plan to check them out and fingers crossed...hopefully I'll find something good.

Georgia, Boxes, Oh My!

Busy, BUSY, weekend! First, Lenny and I traveled down to Statesboro, Georgia for Anna's wedding. We had a fabulous time and I'll post more pictures soon. I loved how relaxed and laid back her wedding was - she wanted people to have a great time and they did.

I also moved yesterday (Thanks Dad and Mom!) and currently am living out of boxes. Since 2004, I've moved five times so I should be used to it but this time it was different. I finally moved into a house that I'm going to share with my future husband in 32 short days.

Caption: Anna and her dad. Doesn't she look stunning?

Invites!

Huge sigh of relief – invitations are out!

To add an extra touch I thought wax seals would be fun.

Unfortunately, I didn’t realize how long that process would take.

None the less, the invites are out. Whoo!

Reception! Reception! Reception!

This morning I woke up before my 4 a.m. alarm thinking about my wedding reception. To be honest, I have a vague idea in my head at the moment of what the reception will look like. Why? Well, I care more about the actual ceremony than I do the reception.

So during my morning run all I could ponder was the details of a gold and crystal trees that I want to use at the entrance or the decorations at the bar. It's now 5:30 p.m. and I'm still thinking about this stuff!

Thank goodness I have some dear party planning friends meeting me for drinks later or I would go crazy today rethinking all the details.

I did find this awesome idea out of California – a candle wall. I’m going to talk to our rental company tomorrow to see if I can recreate this idea.

Program Idea

I saw this great tutorial on-line today and it gave me inspiration to maybe try this type of program for the wedding. Thoughts?

When Bedazzled Goes To Far..

I saw this on another blog and literally laughed out loud. Who would WEAR this?!? Paging CMT’s Redneck Weddings…

40 days and counting! I can’t believe May 30th is just around the corner and that our big event is upon us. Fingers crossed that I can get everything done!

Photo Link...If you dare...

I promise I'm alive...

Just covered up in work, being sick, moving and wedding plans. This month, Lenny and I celebrate our 10 year anniversary as being "friends" since met way back at the Greenville Braves Stadium in April 2000.

This is what I looked like back then. Who knew you could catch a man in a navy blue Greenville Braves t-shirt?

Bridal Portraits Today!

It feels like Christmas and it's not even the big day yet! The weather wasn't too bad at 4:30 a.m. when I left for boot camp this morning...and the stars were out...so my theory is it should be a bright and sunny day.

In just a few hours, I'll be hanging out with the fabulous Olivia Griffin along with family and friends. I couldn't believe when I picked up my dress yesterday that it filled my entire backseat! Who knew that a simple dress would be so heavy to carry? Fingers crossed that these photos look decent!

Come on Sun!

It's suppose to be cold and dreary the day of my bridal portraits. Sigh.

Here's a photo of the church that I would like to use in Glenn Springs. Fingers crossed that it won't rain on Wednesday!
