Ta Da.....

For all of those who are just starting to read the blog, WELCOME! I am going to assume that my audience has increased as our save the dates were sent with the Christmas cards. So, Ta Da....here it is.

I do realize that I am slacking on the posts. Sorry about that but it has been very busy. Where to start...oh yes the cake. The cake has been ordered. It will be a 5 tier square with rounded sides half bridal white (for my peeps who don't like chocolate) and half marble with the french butter icing. We planned to have a black satin ribbon going around the cake. Village bake shoppe told us that we had to get the ribbon. So, I thought, how hard could this be....apparently, very hard. Nobody has 1" black satin ribbon!!! Mom and I finally found some at Tuesday Morning. If you thinking well where is the bling...don't worry it will be there. I can't give everything away.

Last post, I had mentioned Hawaii. Yes, that is now our honeymoon spot. VIP vacations is also able to do a registry for us. Since we pretty much have 2 households worth of stuff, we really don't need to much in the kitchen or living area. So, our honeymoon is really what we both need and would enjoy. Check out the registry page on the website for more information.

We only had two issues so far with the wedding (besides not being able to find black ribbon), the church called and offered us a different time for our wedding. After much thought, we decided to keep the ceremony at noon. Also, Village Bake shoppe sent me a letter saying that they are no longer doing flowers. I was like what the ....! Good news is that Nancy, the actual florist is taking over the business. So, everything should be the same as it originally was....all that for no changes at all.

Chris and I went to NYC and got our wedding rings...or wedding bling! It was very cool to be up in NYC for the holidays. We strolled through Rockefeller center and even bought our Christmas ornament up there this year. Naturally, we stopped in at Heartland brewery to get away from the crazy shoppers on 5 Ave. Check another item of the wedding to do list.

I do hope that everyone liked their Christmas card. Thanks to Kelly, 007, 007's better half, Aunt Mimi, Mom and Dad, you all got an awesome save the date. Actually, their hard work was mostly spend on the envelope of the save the date. I thought that they turned out really nice. It was a rocky start in putting them together but we were able to manage as everyone chipped in for great job.

Chris, Mom and I went to our invitation vendor to start work on our invites. Man is there alot of information that has to go on these cards. I didn't think that an invitation was so involved until we met with our vendor and started going through all of the different options, fonts, # of cards, colors, etc. The invitations are still a work in progress so more to come on that in the next post.

Up next, rehearsal dinner and tuxes.

Hope everyone has a very merry Christmas and happy new year!
