AW: Checks! (looonnggg)

So this past weekend DF and I got lots of WR things accomplished! Just thought i'd share!

Dress fitting: Friday afternoon I went over to my parent's house and my mom's friend who used to work for a bridal salon as a seamstress stopped by to see what I would need altered on my dress. She's a wonderful lady and made me feel soo great about my dress choice.
Thankfully not too much needs done.. just hemmed a few inches and some cups sewn in and we should be good! It was very fun to put my dress on again, and it reaffirmed my love affair with it! We didn't take any pics (boo!) but next time we will and I'll share!

Invitations: Yesterday DF and I went to Michaels to pick out invitations. We decided to go that route as we found it to cost the least which was our ultimate driver when it came to invitations.
To be honest, its one of those things I just can't justify spending a lot on. So we found some that we liked and were able to use 2 coupons which saved us like $60+! Again, no pics and I couldn't find the ones we got online sooo I'll have to share another time!

Transportation: This was one of the WR items that I put on DF's plate. Last week he made a bunch of phone calls and we picked the company we wanted.  Then when we called yesterday to finalize and provide the deposit, EVERYONE he had talked to (including the company we picked!) was booked on our date! So we were back at square one. But after some google searching, we found a company with an opening and booked Shamrock Limo.

Tasting: And last but absolutely not least we had our tasting!! We went to the LeMont yesterday afternoon with my parents and had a wonderful dinner :) We were given a choice of salad (both were wonderful but ended up with the LeMont House Salad). And we picked four entrees to try - Salmon, Filet, Swordfish and Crab stuffed Shrimp. We ended up going with the Filet and Shrimp, which were both so yummy! I also really liked the swordfish but DF liked the Shrimp much better so we went with that. All in all it was so much fun!

    congrats on all the checks!  I didn't realize limos booked 4.5 months in advance... good to know!  

    Filet and Shrimp sound awesome for a menu!

    Great checks. I also put DF on limo/transportation but I have a feeling I will be doing it instead. I guess I should get on that since yours all booked up.
