    WR: My FI and I will be registering next weekend and so we decided to game plan this weekend. We decided on colors for rooms and made a list about things we will want and not want to register for. (we are hoping this will make the process a little easier).  And we started to talk rehearsal dinner plans with FMIL a little bit. :)

    NWR: My FI and I celebrated Valentines day since we are almost two hours apart right now. We made our own homemade heart shaped pizza, had wine and relaxed with a movie night at my place. He also got me a book that I have just started and I love it!

    Here is a picture of our pizza:
  • NWR - I worked all weekend, and did homework. Got to love being a college student.

    WR - sadly not much. FI and I are still debating on Invites but can't decide on one, and trying to gather a game plan for when my two 8 week courses end next month.

  • NWR: Saturday I volunteered to do taxes through United Way then went to my grandma's and played cards with her and some other family. Today FI and I went and dropped off all our recycling and ran a few other errands.

    WR: I steamed out the deep wrinkles in the veil I made then draped it over a few hangers and tucked it in the back of my closet. I also made the moss covered letters for the church door. Friday we went over the proofs of our invitations and decided on cardstock colors so I can order the cardstock next week.

  • WR - My BMs ordered their dresses! I am so happy to get this checked off the list because I thought that was going to take a while. Also, got an idea of what type of dress my mom wants to wear - hoping to get hers soon. Other than that, not too much...

    NWR - making tons of treats for Valentine's Day (I sell baked goods on the side)!

  • WR:  Nothing at all.  Waiting for invitation contract to come in the mail.  

    NWR:  Visited our alma mater for the weekend (we went to college together).  I helped out with my sorority's recruitment.  FI and I went to dinner at a restaurant we love there and had an early Valentine's Day.  We cut our weekend short and came home early to relax and get ready for the week.
  • NWR - went to Ikea. Wait, that was a lie, it was a little WR. Made some iTunes purchases.

    WR - had a sudden/unexpected DIY project that Mom and I decided to make Saturday night and were about 50% finished by 1AM. Will do some touch up painting, sealing and gluing in the next couple of days and it will be virtually done!  I went to Ikea and purchased a flower pot. Brought the bird cage for our card holder to my house to start playing with. Purchased some things for our terrarium centerpieces.
  • WR- Sent in our cake contract
    NWR did a valentines da y dinner on sat night with fiance :)

  • NWR: got the flu and was flat on my back for 2.5 days. FI visited once for about 10 minutes and kept his distance lol.  thank god we had nothing to do this weekend. i was a poor sick girl.

    WR: our STD proof arrived (which is why FI came over).  We are approving it this week and sending them out by the weekend! woot.
  • NWR:  Friday night had a movie and popcorn night with FI, my cousin, and my parents.  We watched "Mr. Popper's Penguins" which was ADORABLE!! 
    Saturday we skyped my brother, SIL, and niece for awhile (ate lunch "together" that way)!!  Then Saturday night went to a Sweetheart Supper (myself, FI, and my parents again) which was very fun!! :)
    Sunday we washed our sheets/blankets (which we had frozen from Friday night to Sunday AM to kill dust mites), and my Dad got my old ice skates out (there is a rink just down the block from my house)!! :)

    WR:  Friday not too much, showed my Mom my fabric swatch, and an idea for a cardbox (she didn't like it...)
    Saturday: Skyped my brother/officant and SIL/bridesmaid about WR topics.  Wished my brother had been more helpful with planning the ceremony, he basically said we have to figure out what we want (gave us no direction what so ever) and email him a "ceremony order" to go from.  FI and I were VERY frustrated by that, but my Mom was helpful and assisted in finding a wedding service outline that we will be using!!  Showed my Dad examples of Father/Daughter dances I liked, he is picking the song.  I showed him a "funny" dance (the father and daughter break out into different dances throughout the song) and he said he might consider it if that is what I really want (and if I will choreograph it for him)!!
    Sunday: Picked out Tuxes (trying to decide if Ushers will wear them or not)!!  Also had my first dress fitting (to make sure the alterations needing done could be done)!!  I am SOOOO excited!!  I forgot my hoop so the length can't be altered, but she is adding spaghetti straps and cups, and removing the sleeves of the dress (they are very itchy)!!  Looked at honeymoon things (we are debating between Hawaii and Florida)!!  Also my aunt came over with a neat DIY idea for centerpieces!!

  • NWR: This weekend was boring. I worked, and went for coffee with a friend.
    WR: Not my wedding, but my cousin got engaged to her jerky fiance. They've had troubles in the past with him "cheating" on her. The cheating is questionable. They've also been saying they're going to get married at the end of August. Essentially, the same weekend as me, even though I've sent out STD's. Yaaaaaay.
    ...oh, and we decided on doing a sand unity ceremony instead of a unity candle. :P

    So sorry about the double weekend person!! My FI and I almost had a dual wedding weekend too!  Luckily my family informed the other girl that we had already claimed that weekend and they hadn't booked anything so she rescheduled her wedding.  The issue is that the girl was close enough that our families would have been torn as to how to divide their day/night between the weddings!! Hopefully your family member will choose to do a different weekend too!!

    We are doing a Unity Sand Ceremony too!!  I'm excited to hear someone else is doing it!! :)

    Thanks for the sympathy. I'm not too pleased, since she is FULLY aware of the wedding date. Not to mention, she's being a really prize about this. They haven't even been together a year, and they just were broken up over Christmas, and she's planning the big family wedding. Not to mention in our circle, it's considered incredibly tacky for your second wedding to be as formal and "all the bells and whistles" as your first. Did I mention she's a divorcee? Nothing wrong with that, I'm just saying, her track record is not supporting this. She has barely been divorced for a year, and she's already back on the matrimony pony. My mother called me and said that they might have the wedding the following weekend, which means FI and I will not to be there (honeymoon, woo!). It just bugs me that I've been with my FI for almost four years, and she's barely been with this guy for six months. Not that it's a contest or anything, but she can wait, can't she?
  • NWR: I worked 8-2 on Saturday, then watched a whole lot of Netflix! (Bridezillas, to be specific lol) We were going to go out to dinner yesterday, but FI has a nasty cold, so we decided to skip it. I don't know when we'll actually get to go out though, since I won't be here this weekend. He is making me dinner tomorrow :)

    WR: I ordered 6 pairs of shoes online lol I'm hoping just ONE of them works for the wedding! Also, we booked our second reception venue on Friday! It's now going to be August 19th, the day after our original wedding date. We're picking up the contract tomorrow. And, tomorrow is the 5 month mark! AHHHHH!!!!

  • NWR: Celebrated my Dad's birthday with some of my siblings and tacos at my parents' place- my FI and I made hime some blueberry crumb bars. Discovered my FI has not watched a respectable amount of Westerns for my family (really, no Magnificient Seven??) and got sent home with a stack of DVDs Smile

    WR: We met with out priest and set a tentative time for the wedding!!! (3:30PM) We also got our pasta bar menu back from our caterer last week and it saved us $15 of the base buffet menu! AND I looked into another possible vegan baker for our wedding cake- think I'll give them a trial run with my birthday in a month and a halfWink
