Wedding Dress!!

Just to let everyone know, the wedding dress arrived this week! Right size, right dress, I'm pretty impressed :) I will be going with Kari to get it altered sometime in the next month or so.

Also, we have our second cake appointment on Wednesday and will be able to pick a baker by the end of the week!

Mostly we are focused on the new rental house. We get the keys on Monday, so we have been packing James' stuff up like crazy. We are so excited to have a place to settle in for a few years when we are married.

dresses and invitations

As most of you know, I flew home for the holiday weekend to go wedding dress shopping. The trip was an absolute success!! The bridesmaids dresses are clover and can be seen below.

I also bought my wedding dress, but the only thing I'm going to tell everyone is that it is white ; ) I look forward to showing it off at the wedding.

Our invitations also came in today. This is a sample of the invitation.
We recently registered at both Target and Sears and had a lot of fun playing with the scanning gun : )

November 2, 2009

Today we booked the ceremony and reception locations for our wedding. Our wedding is Monday November 2, 2009 at 6 PM. The ceremony will be held at Historic St. Mary's Chapel in Downtown Charlotte.

The reception will follow at the Birkdale Golf Club in Huntersville.

We are very excited to have finalized a date and location. We look forward to celebrating our big day with all of you!

Close to decision

We have narrowed are venue selections down and should be making a selection on the location soon. We also have asked our pastor to officiate the ceremony and he said he was honored to accept. Once the location is finalized, we will let everyone know what the date is.

Here is a great picture of the ring and wedding band!! I'm one lucky girl :)

Looking for a venue

We are considering some dates in March and April 2010 for our wedding. We will be looking at some venues this weekend in hopes of setting the date soon. The locations we are going to see very from country clubs to an old fireman's school. Hopefully my mom will be flying in to help make the selections.

The decisions made so far include the colors (green and pink) and the number of attendants (5 each). Other than that, we are waiting on the location to plan things such as photographer, cake, DJ, etc.

Wedding planning is officially underway!!

We are Engaged!

James and I wanted to announce our engagement to everyone! He proposed in the living room of his apartment today. I was sleeping and he couldn't wait to propose. He woke me up with a hug and as soon as I opened my eyes, he opened the ring box and asked me to be his wife. He will tell you I forgot to say yes until after he put the ring on my finger and I hugged him.

We are both very excited and can't wait to begin planning the wedding! We will try to keep the blog updated so everyone knows what is going on with the wedding planning.
