So I find my days filled with wedding stuff now. It is even hard to focus on my job! I honestly can't believe how stressful this is! I wanted a small wedding so I wouldn't get stressed but this reception is killing me! I've had a headache for the past 4 days! It is fun, don't get me wrong, just stressful and tiring! I won a TV from the last wedding show that Olga and I went to! I'm going to pick it up on Saturday! That is, after I get my car fixed...just want I needed is for my water pump to go out! Anway, this is what I have accomplished!
Ceremony:
Ray and I wrote our entire ceremony and vows. We pulled a lot of ideas from other things and put it all together just the way we wanted. We are having the ceremony on Cannon Beach on May 31st. It will just be parents and siblings. We talked about having everyone down there but you need a permit to have more than 50 people, so this will still make it an intimate ceremony. I am using a destination wedding specialist who provides help with everything, the officiant, photos and flowers if I decided I want that. http://www.beachweddings101.com/ We have made our hotel reservations and we are staying at the same hotel we usually stay at! I have my hair piece, thank you Tom and Olga! I think this is how I will do my hair with the comb they bought me - which is NOT a feather like this! But this is the best photo I could find of a french twist.
I have my dress...or so I hope! It was delivered yesterday while my parents were gone and my dad didn't get it last night when he got home so I pray it is still on the doorstep! Isn't it a perfect dress for the beach??? I love it! http://davidsbridal.com/bridal_gowns_detail.jsp?stid=3177&prodgroup=210Honeymoon:
My dad booked our honeymoon at Disneyworld! I just read something today that says it is better to splurge some and stay at a nicer resort and not one of the value priced ones. Which is where my dad booked us. So that kinda stinks. Maybe the reception won't cost as much and we can upgrade or something. We are on our honeymoon from the 3rd-1oth! I am so excited first to fly, second to be away from work and third for being at DisneyWorld for 7 days!!!
Reception:
We are having our congrats party (reception) on June 14th. We have decided to have a build-your-own sandwich buffet with some sides like pasta salad, green salad, potato salad and chips. I went to Sam's the other day and priced out everything they had available and should be around $600 for sandwich makings/condiments/water/silverware/cups and plates. I need to find champagne. I'm not sure yet it if we will serve champagne or just have it for Ray and I and have sparkling cider for everyone else. Tables and chairs are so expensive it is crazy! $1.00/chair and $10/table! My aunt Tammie offered to let me use the vases and tableclothes that they purchased for Jaime's wedding! I need 10 volunteers to make cupcakes, those will be our dessert and our centerpieces! Each table will have a cupcake stand with different flavored cupcakes from the 10 volunteers! Then we may just do a small cake to cut from Sam's because their smallest cake is $108 so pretty good price!
So this is what I have accomplished so far. I actually feel a lot better about it once it is all down in writing! My project is to find a bra and jewelry for the wedding day. I think I will wear the dress again for the reception which means I need to find shoes as well! We also need to find wedding bands, there is one jeweler desiging a few for me to choose from that will match mine. We have Ray's but it is too small. We also need to find what Ray is wearing for the ceremony.
**I am always up for ideas and suggestions and hints!!**
