I want to start of by saying that I love my caterer Aaron. He is so awesome and if you want a great caterer you should totally call him, love that guy. Here's one reason why.
Had planned to call the Wilrik, Joan, and Aaron today to sort through how many tables there were, how many flowers we would need etc. So I picked up the phone and called the Wilrik, I asked to speak to the office manager who I have talked to many many times before and paid a deposit to and I was told she no longer worked there. My heart sank. So I started to ask the new lady some questions and was told that I no longer had linens for my tables (the previous lady owned them and took them with her along with other decorations I was told I could use). So I started to panic. I called Dad and said, "You wanna go get some lunch?" So Dad and I rode over to Aaron's restaurant and had some lunch and I told Aaron about my phone call and how I didn't have linens and all this other madness. He goes, "Don't worry. I have linens for the food tables." So we chit chatted and he is going to do this awesome strawberry topiary thing for us that I saw on FoodNetwork.
Dad has been fitted for his tux and I bought him a nice new suit for Father's Day (he knew that is what I was going to do, wrote it in a card). Looked great on him, an olive color. He fussed and complained when I made him rent dress shoes to go with his tux. He wants to wear his boots. We'll see what happens there...
I am in the final stages of things. I was going through my wedding planning book and checking things off and there is not too much more to be done, thank goodness. My sweet flower girl turns 4 tomorrow! Speaking of her I need to schedule our hair and nails soon. Seems like I can't do to much of anything until July 1st when we meet with the preacher and decide what time the rehearsal will be at. Ugh, I wish I knew that now so I could go ahead and get things scheduled around it.
Well tomorrow marks 1 month left. I can't believe it is so close! Yes!!!

Matt and I went Sunday and picked out the tuxedos and he was fitted. I am planning on taking Daddy up to Cary tomorrow to have him fitted. I just love checking things off the list!
The cake has also been more than half way decided on. The look and decorations has been picked but we still need to think of flavors... yum cake!
I went and talked to the man at the printing place about the programs today, very helpful. He said I have plenty of time to get those printed and not to worry. I love it when people say, "you have plenty of time" and "not to worry".
I plan to see Aaron the caterer tomorrow to ask him if he could make this thing I saw on TV the other day. He said if I saw something on FoodNetwork I liked to come talk to him, so guess what... I found something cool I think he can totally make!
I think that about covers things that have been going on... RSVP's are starting to come back in, thank you to everyone that has sent their's in with a song request, we've gotten some great ones! Also a GIANT thank you to all my bridesmaids and gal pals who threw the BEST Bachelorette Party EVER!

36 Days...
Oh, I love weeks like this one! No work, all fun and getting a ton of things done! Yay! Kari and I had lots of fun going to Fayetteville yesterday and getting her dress fitted, fits perfectly! Just a bit of adjustment in the shoulders. I think they purposely make those shoulders too big so that you have to have a fitting done. All my girls had to have their straps fixed. Today Amy and I are hitting the mall for bachelorette party outfit shopping! I am so excited about the big party tomorrow!!! Saturday will be very busy though, dress fitting in the morning for Stephanie and Amy and then some shopping and then PARTY! Woo Hoo!
I am hoping to get Matt up to the Cary Mall on Sunday to be fitted for his tux and go ahead and pick out everything so that the other guys can go up there and be fitted as well. Once that is done I will feel 100% better...
Our calendar is FULL from now until the wedding, this weekend my bachelorette party, next weekend SC for Jason and Beth's wedding, the weekend after that is Kari and Nathan's Wedding and then school starts back for me and 2 weeks later is our wedding! Whoa!
Well, I will keep everyone as posted as possible without ruining to many surprises!

Our wedding is getting closer and closer! I am very excited. I don't have too much new news to report, things are kind of in a lull around here... thank goodness!
The report from Macon, GA is that the flowergirl dress has arrived and needs just a bit of adjustment to fit Miss Ava. I can't wait to see her in all her flowergirl glory! We hear that she is practicing her duties, mostly being quiet... ; )
This weekend will bring my batcheolorette party, woo hoo!!! Watch out! I can't wait to see what the girls have planned, I know we are going to have a great time!
Frankie and I went through twenty some photo albums this weekend looking for pictures of Matt in his younger years. Found some great ones! Now to make copies of those and copies of mine and get those ready for the reception. Thanks for all the help with that Frankie!
Well I am going to sign off for now! Hope everyone has had a great week!

The wedding is getting closer and closer! Wedding responses are starting to come back to us, we've had some great song requests! If you have more than one feel free to message us on here and we can add it to the list! :)
Ordered my garter tonight, woo woo! I am so excited, it is being made from a seller on Etsy If you have never checked out www.etsy.com you really should! They offer handmade items, anything you can really think of and the options are awesome! I love to check them out daily to see what's new.
Hmmm, what else... Oh, Matt and I should have our wedding bands next week! Yay! I can't wait to see them. My engagement ring is currently at the jewelers to have the bands matched up against them perfectly. We went with two small bands to wrap around my engagement rings and Matt went with a traditional band for his. Hopefully we will be able to get our marriage certificate this coming week, it is on the to do list.
Hope everyone is having a great week!

They're Gone!
Invitations are out! Mailed them this morning... Here I am so happy to be done with them.
Here's a sneak peek at the full box...
Also the flowers have been ordered and the bridedsmaid's dresses are safe and secure at Mom and Dad's house. So now the only thing really left is to get the guys fitted for their tuxs.

Been Awhile... 55 days left!
Sorry its been so long since I have posted last. It has been very busy around here! This past week has brought lots of events, 2 showers, invitations arriving and my bridal portraits coming in! Fun stuff!
My dear students had a surprise bridal shower for me at school. It was too cute! They had kept the secret for 2 whole weeks, I couldn't believe it. We had cookies, M&M's, lemonade, and chips all on polka dotted plates. It was very sweet.
Then afterschool I was given a shower from all the staff at school. We had a great time and I received some wonderful things! I also received a ton of yummy recipes! Yay! A big thanks to 1st grade for throwing such an awesome shower!
And the invitations are in and they are awesome! Just what we wanted! Sadly, the post office has really let me down though. I mean you change the price of stamps for some crazy reason yet the only 42 cent stamps you offer are Frank Sinatra, a flag, and the liberty bell. Yeah, those really say Wedding to me... ugh. They also informed me that since my envelope was 1/8 an inch bigger than the regular size envelopes that it would cost a dollar to mail each one! Can you believe it?! Ugh! And you wouldn't believe what the dollar stamp looks like... it is a greek god. A half naked man on a stamp, oh yeah that is what I want to mail out to all my friends and family! So Amy the wonderful person she is researched online to help me find something and we came up with 2 of last years 2 ounce wedding stamps per envelope. But Mom and I had to drive to some teeny tiny post office in Fayetteville just to find them. But I have them now, thank goodness.
Oh and a date has been set for a Bachelorette Party! Woop Woop!
Well that's the latest. Hope all is well with everyone else out there!
