    I don't have a personal AW this morning, but a pretty close work-friend of mine got engaged last night!  I'm dying for her to come and tell me all the details (it was her birthday, and they went to a nice restaurant, and that's all I know so far)... and she isn't at work yet!!!

    As of today, we only have 100 days until the wedding!! Yay!! Tomorrow we will finally be in the double digits instead of the triple!

    Also, we are going to pick up the first bridesmaids dress this weekend.  I can't wait to see it!

    I have my boudoir pics in just a little over a week!

    And I have officially finished 3 weeks of the P90X!  :-)

    I'm hoping to sign the contract with the venue today :)

    And my FMIL got me her final guest list this morning, and she actually removed people rather than added! :)

    Yay

    Our anniversary went off without a hitch.  Speaking of which, DH went and got me flowers that were similar to my bouquet and put them in my favorite vase.  For my gift I got a book (paper) that I've been wanting and the Love knot ring from James Avery.  We also just finished our tier of cake last night.

    My dad called to wish us a Happy Anniversary about 10 til 7 because he was afraid we'd be out but he didn't want to not call so he tried to make it as close to the actual anniversary as he could (our ceremony started at 7 pm).  My dads parents sent us a card (they may have called but I can't recall) and my grandmother sent a text.

    Shortgirl,
    Congratulations on the first anniversary.  I love anything James Avery.  Bill knows this but sadly doesn't shop there. 

    Congratulations to all the girls out there getting close and finalizing their wedding plans!  I was in the same place about two years ago and I just wanted to be married already.

    My AW is that we're going on a short cruise over Spring Break.  Neither one of us has ever been on one so we want to see how we like it.  Oh, and I'm taking bronchitis with me when I go to Bossier City this weekend to visit family!

    Congrats on all of the great AW's!!! YAYYYY!

    This has been a pretty great week for me in getting random ish done, which I'm psyched about. The last time I did anything wedding related was mid December.
    -final decision was made on Bridesmaids dresses!! They are Monique Lhuillier, and are at Nordstrom. The tag says 'fancy schmancy' but the price is in the b-maids budget. Score!
    I ordered the cake topper from Etsy, bev. napkins and disposable cameras for the reception, secured Angie Williams for hair and makeup (thanks for the recs!), and I am in the process of designing our place cards (business cards!) on Vistaprint as we speak for cheap-o. YAY for progress!!

    Julie where's your cruise destination?

    My AW: I am putting down my deposit at the Magnolia tomorrow.

    Is anyone else seeing a mix up in this thread? the first post that popped up was Sarah quoting Ashlee, instead of Courtski's post initiating the thread...

    We're going to the Bahamas.  There's a stop near the Atlantis.  I don't know that we'll get to go there though and also a private island that Disney owns.  It wasn't very cheap because we kept putting it off but they had some really good deals in my opinion.  I do wish we had taken care of this a month ago.

    Congrats to everyone!!  

    I'm 2 questions away from finally booking the ceremony musicians.  I will be so happy to have it done.  I've also been working on a bunch of DIY projects (in my bio) and we sent our invites out on Monday (due to the A & B list thing).  People have been commenting on them and I'm so happy the hard work was worth it.

    Invites

    Sparkler set up

    And Chris is working on painting the wedding tree for our rehearsal dinner.  I did the names last night on the canvas.

    Julie, I am sooo jealous!  That cruise sounds wonderful!  Ben wants to do one but he wants the cheap Western Carribean one and I want the Bahamas. 

    Lauren, those invitations are a work of art, truly.

    Congrats on all the AWs!  We got our appliances in this week.  That's about it.

    [QUOTE]Congrats on all the AWs today I am soo excited for all of our upcoming weddings!! Mine is only a little one but I have been drawing a blank for what to do with our sweetheart table for decor and I think I have finalized it.  We want to order these mugs: <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?navAction=jump&id=78404" rel='nofollow'>http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?navAction=jump&id=78404</a> I havent decided if I want to do the letters L O V E or MR MRS and then fill them with white peonies and have candles all around them.  Sadly it is adding more to the budget just I really like the idea. What do you ladies think?

    Haha I totally just bought one of those yesterday to put our pens and pencils in by the computer. They are so cute! Love the idea :)

    Bobbieleigh,
    I say do it.  It doesn't look too expensive (at least to me).

    Stephie,
    Since we haven't been before, we just wanted to see how we handle being on a ship for that long.  I don't have motion sickness issues but I get cabin fever very badly so I want to see how I handle being in one place for so long.  It's also one of the reasons I have never been to resorts in Mexico and the like. 

    All I can say is that it was much cheaper if we had signed up back in December when we first decided to actually do it.  We still wanted to do it so yesterday I took the plunge even though my heart stopped a little when I saw that there was only one kind of room left.  In fact, I went back later and the ship was sold out.  If I had been ten minutes later, we would be trying to come up with something else.
