wedding fun and more...

wedding fun....
This past weekend we attended my girlfriend's wedding. It was the first wedding we had attended as an engaged couple and it's amazing how much more attention I paid to EVERYTHING. Zack was a good sport listening to my comments all night.

and more....
Thanks to Miss (Ira) Thio, we're several steps closer to finalizing our invitations. Zack and I met with her on Sunday to review several mock ups. I was very excited about them all and am glad that I have such a great friend to create them.

More Tasks Completed.....

Adding on to our list below ("So Far") of completed items:

7) Florist: Flowers for You. Kay was great and really worked with my budget. www.flowerspdx.com
8) updated colors: black, red, and orange.
9) DJ: Rick Harlow and his wife are great. I'm looking forward to working more with them. www.rhfactordj.com


6 months and counting.....

One more step...

We've booked our florist, Flowers for You. She did a great job walking me through my options.
We'll be going with an array of red and orange flowers. Great color pops for our base color- brown.

One more step completed on the LONG wedding planning path!

So far...

Now that planning is fully underway, I wanted to give an update on what we have so far:

1) Our Date: Saturday, 9/12/09. 1:30 pm.
2) My dress: I bought it with my mom about a month ago at Tower Bridal in John's Landing. This covers my something new.
3) My veil, headpiece, and necklace: borrowing them from my sister. That will cover something old and borrowed!
4) Photographer: Reversed Lens Photography http://www.reversedlensphotography.com/
5) Church: Our Lady of the Lake Church in Lake Oswego, OR

6) Reception Site: Oswego Hills Winery in West Linn, OR (see previous blog for website)

In the works:
- catering
- DJ
- florist
- invitations with the help of Ira Thio's expertise

I have to say that everything seems to be falling into place quite nicely.

Back to it....

Let the planning re-commence.

After much deliberation, we have finally set the date for our wedding: September 12, 2009. We're planning on an outdoor reception so hopefully Mother Nature will cooperate.

We're really starting to get the details all set. I'm still waiting for the cake tasting though- Zack's in charge of that part.

More to come!
