Quick Update



Well, I have been really bad at blogging lately... sorry about that.
We ended up getting the Rucker House for the Rehearsal Dinner.  It was gorgeous and will accommodate us comfortably.  

The list suddenly jumped to around 500 people... not really sure how this happened, but there is some "trimming" that we must do because 1. this is not in the 'budget', 2. we only have 1/2 the ballroom and there is simply not enough room, 3. even if 50% of those come, there is still not enough room!  anyways, we are going over the list now... it is just so hard!  

After this, the addresses will be added.  Then, the save the dates go out!  I am going to be coming home sometime in May (hopefully) and will work on them with lindsay then!

Ryan's mom and sister came up while my mom was in town and we went to the White Room and they both got dresses.  That place has gorgeous dresses and was happy that everyone found one there.  I also think that I have found some shoes.  Everyone says that no one sees your feet really??? is this true?  I found a pair that has about 2 " heels and are really really comfy!  I think that I am going to go for one of those!  They wouldn't kill my feet by the end of the night- they are made of silk so forming to your feet and just feel like walking on clouds!  The pics are up above and I think that I want closed toed shoes... anyone with any suggestions?  is this stylish??? 

I also am working on a wedding website for the guests.  It is so cute, I am proud of myself.  It is a lot of work, but will definitely be work it!  I don't want to spoil it, so you will all get to see it when it is DONE!  Pretty soon, you all need to get your rooms....   

I am getting my hair stylist to do the hair for the wedding, Bridesmaids: if you want your hair done, please let me know!  Also, kind of what you want done, i.e. up or down... I really want you to do what you want to do, there is no "demand" to get it done in one way or another.  Do what looks good on you!

The bridesmaid dresses are another story.   I thought that I had one picked out, but I am just not in love with it once 3 of the bridesmaids went to try it on.  I feel like my dress is classic and romantic and I feel like the bridesmaid dress is sporty and modern, just not a good mix.  So, the look is back on!  But, thanks Lauren, Annie, and Natalia for trying it on and sending me pics!


OK, other than that, things are going great.  I am getting excited since it keeps getting closer and closer!   I cannot wait for my showers... speaking of which, I know what I want to register but am not sure where I will do it...  Looking into some places...    
Alright, love you all and I promise to blog a bit more
