Re: Weekly Checks!

  • Last week I decided I didn't like my wedding ring, so I'm going to be exchanging it next weekend. I also did a lot of research into invitations. I have a couple designs picked out but I still have a few more websites to check out. 

    This week I'll get my new wedding ring, and we have our cake tasting on Saturday which I'm really excited for.

  • We sent out our invitation list to our invitation designer. I purchased fg baskets and my veil. I finally settled on my jewelry. I will be wearing a gorgeous pair of earrings and my mom's neckalce as my something old. Today I bought frames that we plan on spray painting silver and using for the table numbers. Dad gave me the go-ahead to hire a trumpet player to play for my entrance and exit so this week I need to contact him. I need to work on get some more rooms blocked out for guests. I need to also look into an aisle runner for the wedding.
