Flowers: Haven't even met with a florist but I would love dark purple calla lillies for my bouquet and ivory callas for the bridesmaids. I'm thinking these may be out of our buget however. 9.

Hey, Well He proposed 11/13/2010 which is his birthday. Were planning a wedding for June 9,2012; we choosed that date because the numbers are all factors of 3 (3 &13 are our lucky numbers because he asked me out and proposed to me on a 13th day and the promising ring I recieved has 3 diamonds on it and my wedding ring also has 13 diamonds) June is also my grandmother birthday month. We have decided on yellows, oranges, and reddish/pinks. We decided on the Watertown Event Center for our Reception site, still working on a ceremony cite! Jocelyn Photography in Watertown. Energy Productions for our DJ/lighting. and FLowers...still deciding. Thinking about doing something in honor of our families since we both come from quite large families.
