My WR AW - my mom got me a necklace to go with my dress. It's 3 strands of pearls, and I loved the way it looked with my gown! I also loved the fact that I got to try my gown on again. She's also letting me borrow her pearl earnings, so I'm all set with the jewellery for my dress. Yay!
My NWR AW - we bought me a new car over the weekend!!! My old car kept breaking down, we were hoping to wait until after the wedding to upgrade, but after it broke down again on Friday I was all done, so we went impromptu car shopping. We bought a 2007 VW Passat, and I love it!
Sometime this week I'm going to order my dress my FMIL and FI were sick of waiting around on my dad so they've decided they're doing it now, because we have to custom order my dress 5" shorter. It cannot be hemmed once it gets here, because then it would move the lace around and make it overlap and it would look horrible. I'm so excited my grandma is coming and she gets to see my dress, and my mother and my father might come depending on their schedules. They work a lot so I'll just have to wait and see! But I'm really excited that I get to order my dress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My girls got their dresses so I'm so glad that they liked them, and they were cheap enough for them to get.
We'll be getting our save the dates sometime this week. They might even be here by tomorrow I'm not quite sure.
We are making an appointment with our reception space so that she can tell us how much per head so we can know how many people will actaully be on our list.
We've ordered our flower samples so we can see the quality of their flowers, because the order needs to be placed sometime in October or November.
My BMS all liked the same dress. I was telling the girls months before that I wouldn't mind if everyone picked out their own style, but it turns out they loved the same style so now they'll all be the same. Really love the dress choice too because it matches my neckline of the wedding dress!
My AW is that my save the dates came in today!!!!!!!! I am soo excited!!!!! I keep receiving the sample invitations that I ordered as well! and I ordered my girls a necklaces as part of their gift!!!! Everything is starting to come together!!!!!! Im so excited!!!!

<div>OMG emily, that's crazy (and yet, I find that rather awesome that you can do that), ROTFLMAO!</div>
emily that is seriously such a crazy pose, congrats for finally being able to do it!
I really have no AW other than FI and I are meeting with a travel agent tonight to talk about options for our HM, we really have nooo idea where to go, so we are going to talk about Sandals and Secrets resorts.
Friday was our dating anniversary and I got the FI a new tie for the occasion. It was casual friday so he didn't wear it right away, but I got a big grin seeing him wearing it this morning. I found out yesterday that he had thought about purchasing that same tie on his last work clothes shopping trip, but decided not too. It made me realize how much I know about him and his taste
Only other thing to aww about is the fact I have two hours of piece and quiet and no rowdy four year olds to deal with. It was a crazy Monday in 4K land!
I already dished about my AW for today. Love my venue! And when I finalized the paperwork with them today, we walked around as he showed me a few more perks they forgot to mention. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!
My AW is that my sister shot a practice run of our engagement pictures this weekend, and they turned out AWESOME! She's really good at photography, but she's never done anything like this before. So when I asked her if she would be willing to do my engagement shoot, she said that she would do a "practice" shoot, and if I didn't like it I would have time to hire a professional photographer instead. Well I think she did a really good job! I'm really impressed! I'm definitely having her do my real shoot!. I put the pictures on facebook, hopefully the link works!
