Wedding Wednesday
It is Wednesday today, right? I'm all messed up on what day of the week it is.
I feel like I've done a lot, but I don't know. Rob and I settled on flower girls. We've discussed ordering our wedding rings (we both picked them out a while ago). I'm gathering my bridesmaids for a second round of BM dress shopping and have a time and date decided on, I just have to call and make the appointment. My mom and I started discussing flowers. She has a close friend who is a florist and we're debating doing silk arrangements and real bouquets/boutonnieres. I think that's it. Nothing concrete. Just a lot of planning talk and ideas.
This discussion has been closed.

[QUOTE]The only thing I have done is start our wedding website. (I updated the info in my Role Call if anyone is interested.) It's taking a heck of a lot more time than I anticipated. I'm still working on it, but at least it's started!

<div>The wedding website was one thing my FI was very interested in doing (once I showed it to him after I signed up for one). I ended up just giving him my login and he did the whole thing, haha. It came out much better than if I had done it (he's more creative)</div>
I am reconsidering getting married on my parents "farm". It's just not as wooded as I want. I want more of a forest lol. Cue the trees! We have several other family members who own land with "mini forests" on it who would allow us to have the ceremony & location there. I think we are possibly going to go look after vacation.
And then their is the Nance House & Gardens. A super old historic building (complete with a rustic feel) and fenced in "yard", which is complete with stone paved walk areas, oodles of trees, and just a general shaded outdoorsy feel.
I'm leaning with the Nance House
I also got the stuff I need to do a mock up of our invitations, so that I can see if I can make 100-ish of them. I'll post pics later this week if they turn out okay.
And....we picked out our wedding bands this weekend!! The jeweler we've been using had a big bridal trunk show this weekend, so they had a bunch of designers there with their new stuff. We both found rings that we liked, and with the trunk show pricing, we ended up saving a good bit of cash. The designer who makes the band my fiance picked was offering free engraving as a part of his specials, and (I thought this was really cool), I was able to write what I wanted engraved on his ring in my handwriting, and then they'll use a scanned copy of my writing to do the engraving. I can't wait to see how it turns out!!
Decided I'd go alone once in Munich before I head to the US to shop with my mother and FMIL, just to take the pressure off.
Going next Friday afternoon. Super excited!
I'm back at work and my Mom called to say that FI's wedding band arrived today though! I can't wait to get home and see him try it on
[QUOTE]Wow, you girls have been productive! I have been so so busy with NWR stuff. The only thing I've gotten done recently was talk to my best friend, who is also my MOH, who also introduced me to FI, about having her two adorable daughters be flower girls. <strong>We're not saying anything to them yet though,</strong> <strong>otherwise we will have 14 months of "is the wedding tomorrow?"</strong>

We are the same! I don't even think our FG's parents are going to tell her until the week of the wedding.
I'm thinking I will move to a florist and research and narrow down to around 3 places and see what works.
FI and I havent done really anything productive lately. We are playing email tag with our photographer and trying to get a date set up for our e pics sometime in september. Next we are going to start setting up meetings with DJs.

Don't feel bad this last week I felt like Wed was Monday.
