Bridesmaids

All of the bridesmaid dresses are ordered! They look like this except they are a dark gray and will have a halter.  And, I have picked out their shoes!!!

For my shoes, you may remember I had ordered two pairs and really liked neither of them.  So, for round two, I loved both pairs of shoes I ordered!  And, these photos do neither of these shoes any justice. The first shoes are the ones I will be wearing down the aisle.  They are definitely not so business-like and way more sparkly and a bright silver in person.  And, I really liked the dark gray ones, but comparing the two in person, no comparison.  Plus, I love pointed-toe shoes and feel more comfortable in them.

I also, brought my dress home so that it is staring me in the face to remind me to get a bustle put in and and few more little fixes.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

hmm, well I think I really need to sit down and get all my wedding stuff done.  Really, I only need to...

go to the florist...and decide on a florist... 
And, order my bridesmaid dresses! 
And, get my shoes that I'm going to walk down the aisle in.
And, order invitations.  Kris and I have decided to nix the "save the dates" and just send our invites early.  Whatever. 
Start holding rooms in Guthrie, how many do we need and where, since it will now be during Memorial Day weekend.
Umm...Officially decide on a cake and talk to Monica about it.  Same goes for Kris.
Work on a Cheesy Slide Show of Kris and Me.
Decide which amazing cheeses we will have from Forward Foods.
Figure out what song I want played in acoustic guitar down the aisle to.
Go get my dress altered.
Think about booze.
Make Kris think about tuxes.
Try to stay the exact weight I am now! 

I think that is most of it...


Yikes!  New Year here we come!  Wedding here we come!

Halloween

Better late than never...  We spent Halloween at our friends house who live two houses down from this big haunted one, which is known as the Hatchet House, it even had hatchets on the windows.  Supposedly, the father hatched his girl to death or something in the park.  But, because of this story this street is huge for Halloween.  Our friends were told to buy hundreds of dollars of candy, and they did and they still ran out and had to turn their light off early!  So, here are our costumes!

New venue, new date, new everything...well almost anyway.

Okay, a lot has happened since I last posted.  We now have a new venue.  We have chosen The Sand Plum at the Victor Building in Guthrie, OK.  Also, we have a new date, May 29, 2010.  Kris and I were going to go see The Dominion House and we figured that while we were already in Guthrie, we would look at the Sand Plum as well.  We went to the Sand Plum first, fell in love, and the Dominion House couldn't compare. 

I'm way more excited about this place than I ever was about stupid Coles Garden.  We are still crossing our fingers that we get our deposit back.

On a lighter note, my dress is here!!!!!!!  I only need to add a bustle, get it hemmed, and one other thing, otherwise it fits like a glove. 


And, I went and added a whole lot of stuff to the website....

Venues and Snuggies

Going to see the Sand Plum and Dominion House today, Dominion House has May 22 open as of two days ago.  Crossing fingers...  On a lighter note, to make me feel better about all the wedding crap Kris went and bought me a Breast Cancer Awareness Snuggie.  Photos to follow.  And, we are doing the Breast Cancer Walk on Saturday!

Oh My God, I don't even know where to start.

I got a letter in the mail the other day that Coles Garden sent saying, sorry they are going into forclosure and will not be able to host our wedding.  Isn't that just amazing!  Our wedding is in 6 months!  We now have 6 months to find a new place which I have realized is impossible since I have called all the alternative places to no avail.

Options...

A. Dominion House
B. Chesapeake Boat House
C. Sand Plum
D. Tres Suenos
E. Some Lady's Backyard
F. Oklahoma Heritage Museum

Option A. is the best with E. being the last resort.  Option B. is a little small, but awesome.  C. wouldn't be an outside wedding,  D. would be cool, but it is Oklahoma wine, and F. is a little pricey.  I'm a little stressed and I almost never get stressed out, because I planned this stupid thing a year ago!!  AAAACK.  Okay, breathe.  The Dominion House at least has May 22 open for the moment.  And, I have been to a wedding there, Melanie's, she sent me a message saying they were great, although the backup plan for rain wasn't pretty it was stress free.  And, I imagine they are the same price a stupid Coles Garden.  Well, at least, I hadn't gotten the flowers or the hotel or our honeymoon yet.  Thank God.
