visiting the winery...

It seems like I've been visiting a lot, but there's so much planning involved. It really has helped to see the site at different times of the year.

We went in early spring and the vines were bare:

I went again this weekend with my parents and Ira, my friend and planner extraordinaire.

It was beautiful and the vines have grown so much since the last visit. We figured out table arrangements and some other logistics. We had enough time to spare that we were able to taste some wines as well.

Registries

It seems like the days are just flying by lately. This past weekend, Zack and I spent a lot of time focusing on the wedding.

We updated our registries at:

and

So far, we just have these 2 registries. We were hoping to register at Home Depot too since we're going to be new home owners, but they're not accepting registries. Still need to figure out a third registry....stay tuned.

Family Time

We got to spend some quality time with Zack's family a few weekends ago.

Zack's grandpa was in town, and it was perfect timing, as we were able to celebrate father's day!



Congrats to Maggie on her graduation and amazing job at her dance recital.

a few changes....

I've officially changed colors: navy and orange have become our colors.... for now.
This change will definitely affect flower choices, but I'm excited about the change.


2 more items to check off the list:
1) we have our bridesmaid dresses. yeah!
2) we put down a deposit for our cake at Beaverton Bakery. Still working on flavors and designs but it was a big decision.

Invitations are currently being printed. I can't believe how everything is starting to come together.

huge milestone....

In my frenzy to try to check items off my to-do list, I realized I failed to let everyone know that our wedding party is complete!

Bridal Party:

Maid of Honor:
My sister, Stephanie.

Bridsemaid:
My best friend from growing up, Dana.

Groom's Party:

Best Man:
Zack's brother, Ben.

Groomsmen:
2 of Zack's best friends from growing up and soccer, Chris and Kevin.

One more thing I can cross off my checklist.

wow- the countdown!

I can't believe we're under 100 days away from our wedding day. Time is flying by and the tasks are piling up but I can't wait for us to start our lives together.

We're looking forward to sharing this day with our family and close friends.

2 more steps....

just a quick update:

1) church counseling is complete. yeah! now we're on to planning the ceremony in the coming months.

2) wedding party is complete!
