Quadruple Post

To make up for my lack of posting lately this one is a quadruple post. Four major events in our wedding planning process all compact into one blog post.

TUXES, TUXES, TUXES!!!
We picked out our tuxes this last weekend, and I couldn’t be more excited…no details but you will love them!!!!

SAVE-THE-DATE
Mark your calendars, Save-the dates are out and November 20th is the date! We created our save the dates with plenty of thought and love for each of our guests, and hope everyone can come help us celebrate as we embark on our journeys finale of becoming husband and wife.



SAY YES TO THE DRESS
This is definitely the most hush-hush detail of the wedding, but yesterday I said yes to my beautiful, gorgeous, wonderful, wedding dress!! I love it so much, and want to show the world, but our count down in 157 days and everyone will be able to see it. I had so much fun picking it out. I bought it at David’s Bridal and they were awesome, I would recommend anyone going there, it was truly every brides dream experience. When I finally decided on my dress, the one I want to wear to become a bride and a wife they rang a bell and everyone was so excited, I couldn’t hold back my tears, truly an experience that there aren’t enough words to describe. Now I can’t wait until my fittings begin and I can bring it home!

In other news we have been busy, busy, busy lately with work and everything else going on in our lives. All the rain has kept us from doing too much in our yard, but we have managed to get some trees planted. When we bought the place, we knew the first thing we wanted to do to the outside was plant some trees. Over the past two weeks we have planted 16 trees: 3 purple plums, 2 pin oak, and 11 evergreens. We know they will take a while to grow but can’t wait to watch them get big!
