September 2012 Weddings

Weekly Checks!

Okay ladies! It's that time again! I figured I'd put this up early because I need to go over to my parents' house for Easter dinner in a little bit (my family does orthodox easter instead of western easter). What did you get done this past week? Anything good? What are you planning on doing this upcoming week? I've entered into the dangerous less than 5 months territory. EEP. 

THIS PAST WEEK
Things were a little nuts this week because I had to meet with my phd advisory committee, so that's basically all I thought about lol. I did order my wedding band yesterday though with my sister! It's got 5 round prong-set diamonds (.25 carats) which I think looks really nice with my round diamond tiffany style solitare (1 carat). So relieved to have both of our bands done! I ordered FI the "passion" tungsten band from JVL.com. If anyone is thinking of ordering from them, go ahead and do it! It really was only 25 dollars (including shipping) and the band looks really, really nice. Here's the code I used: 230925. I also liked metal masters on amazon and overstock had a ton too. 

THIS UPCOMING WEEK
-order the freaking invitations!!!
-look for wedding shoes
-buy my shower dress (found a super cute one at express)

That's about all I have planned. I think the invitations will be pretty time consuming what with getting all the wording together. I also have freaking jury duty tomorrow which sucks a lot.

  • Well you all are rocking and rolling.

    Last week:  Ordered invitation samples. However,  I can't proceed with my invites until next month.  The FH is dealing with some health issues that may cause us to move the wedding date.  Still we continue with the planning and pray for the best.  T&P are appreciated. 

    This week: 
    Cake tasting is set for tomorrow evening. 
    Hope to set up first premarital counseling session.
    Hope to bookwedding day  transportation this week.



    Love is the ultimate superpower.   
    It can make you weak and strong simultaneously.
