Rehearsal Dinner

Ryan and I are going tomorrow to look at Rucker Place.  It is an old house here in Birmingham and it has great views of the city.  It is a good Birmingham-ish place and very southern... We all know that I wanted a southern plantation wedding, so this will be a good mix-in for our wedding!  Anyways, here is the link .  We will likely know by tomorrow after we look and ask our questions!!!  This would be a great thing to cross off the list!  Will keep you posted

Things to do

Sorry that I haven't been on here in a LONG time.  I have been super busy, yes, kelly worked M,T,W,R,F, AND I am working this weekend.  I honestly feel like ALL I DO is work right now.  

In the back of my mind I have lots of things to do, since I love making lists here it goes:

1.  Save the Date - currently working on the final number for how many to send
2.  Finalize the list and obtain addresses  (UGH)    
3.  Bridesmaid Dresses
4.  Rehearsal Dinner - by far the hardest thing for us right now- COMPLETED!
5.  Order Logo
6.  Register for ALL the stuff that we want!!!!  This will be the best thing, we all know that I am good at finding things that I want!!!
7.  Decide on linens and those Chivari Chairs...   

That is a good list for now...  I am sure that I could add a LOT more to it, but I don't want to get too ambitious since I know that for a few more weeks I will be working lots more... :(

DRESS!!!

OK, after much deliberation and thinking, I have decided on a dress!  I went today and got it.  However, when I got there, they had a new one in... I of course had to try it just to "make sure".  SO, I liked it, but after sitting/walking around in it for 30 minutes and then putting my favorite back on, I KNEW which one I wanted.  I got my favorite one...  I don't want to put pics up on here, so if you want to see it, let me know.  I can send you the REAL style number, yes, I had it wrong.  I knew that the Lian Carlo one online was NOT the dress, but now, I have the right number and you can look it up!  Also, we need a name for it... I hate numbers, so i am going to name it!  Suggestions???  Only after looking at it of course.
Just an update, I am so excited, I absolutely LOVE the dress and cannot wait to wear it.  Of course, they will have to take it in about 10 inches because by then I will be sooo skinny!  haha!  
OH, and I got a job offer while I was there... They want me to model some of their dresses.  I was SHOCKEd....  So, she told me to think about it because obviously I would have to walk in like 5 inch heels for the length to be correct!  I am up for it... Kelly a Model... WOW, never thought I would see that day, although my mom did remind me that I took modeling in 6th grade (I already have a resume!) 
Anyways, just an update!  This is by far the most exciting thing about getting married (Other than the ring and ryan of course)!

SNOW

WOW, yesterday was a white out!  It was beautiful and so much fun to see a true blizzard (in my opinion, it was the biggest "snow storm" I had been in)!  Welcome to March!  It was cool to go shopping when it was snowing so much outside-never done that before!   
OK, so yesterday I went to look at Melissa Sweet gowns.  Kelly came with me and offered a fresh opinion.  It was great and I added a new one to the list!  It is beautiful, but once again you cannot compare it to the other one because it is soooo different.  Anyways, I am still contemplating all of my options, I never thought that I would like so many!  I remember shopping for prom dresses to the point that I had tried on everyone in orlando and still hated them all!  At least that is not the case now.... 
I think that I will just call and tell them to order one, when it comes in, it will be a good surprise!  I would send out the Lian Carlo dress but honestly, i don't think that the one online is the one in the store...  Or if it is, it just doesn't even look like the same dress.  
Alright, I am off to Pilates, then a massage, then Pilates Symposium, then to pick up Tucher!  Have a great Monday and try not to Freeze!
