Hi everyone! My name is Amber. My Fi and I are getting married this next March. I just booked my venue and caterer, Naylor Hall and Three Sisters Catering. Naylor Hall was a suggestion by one of you lovely women and I am soooo glad. They were perfectly under budget and so was Three Sisters Catering. Together, I am paying less than $2,800 for both.
We are having a day wedding with around 150 guests. We have 5 people on each side (bridesmaids and groomsman). The colors are dark blue, emerald green, vibrant sun yellow and white of course. This is all based on my Fi's tartan, the Dress Gordon Tartan.
When he asked me to marry him, he asked me with a Claddaugh. We just found the ring set we want for me and the ring we want for him. Ill post pictures. The tradition we chose was to do the handfasting as a separate ceremony, with a small select group of close friends. Then a year and a day later, we are getting married.
Because of my Fi being unemployed because of this horrible economy, it has been rough. With the help of his parents and mine, we were able to get together a small budget for everything.
I am doing the flowers by doing Origami flowers. I did it for my friend Nadias baby shower and it was fun and looked amazing. (If you are ever curious about that Oriental Garden themed baby shower, let me know. Ill totally give details!) For my bouquet, I will be using french horn sheet music from some of my favorite movie scores to do the flowers. My Fi and I are HUGE geeks.
For the top of the cake, we have a Wall-e and Eve set, and in addition to that, we are going to have Spiderman crawling up the side. Our Engagement shots were done in the Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson theme because Thomas has been SUCH a fan of Spider man for all his life and he finally found his Mary Jane (im a red head and spunky).
First: Us

My Claddaugh:
My wedding set we just picked out. IT will have White sapphires on the side and Princess cut Green Tourmaline on top. Yes it is from Anjay Designs on Etsy. I will let you guys know how that goes.
Thomas's band which reminds us of webbing, this it is a Spiderman Ring:
There is of course, MUCH more to do and plan. But this is the main basics. YAY! I will share as new details become solid! Must go find bridesmaids gowns!
tata!
