Re: Thursday Checks
We opened a separate account to do all of the saving. It was so much easier. It's only in FI's name and that's a pain in the ass... But, oh well. It fills up quickly. lol.
First Look
We got a few RSVPs last night but one of them made me especially ecstatic. My mom is the youngest of 10 children and it always seems that with a family that large someone is always the "black sheep". Well the one in our family is my uncle, her brother. It's mostly undeserved although he did stay away himself for a while because he was mad at my step-grandpa when grandma died. This was 14 years ago so people need to get over it. His own twin refused to allow his son to invite him to their wedding last year. Makes me sick. Even when he has been invited to weddings, he normally doesn't show but he called last night and RSVPed YES for him and his wife. He's even taking his vacation the week after to make sure he can drive up from TN and not have to worry about work trying to pull something over the weekend.
He's seriously one of my favorite uncles and I'm so excited!

That's awesome Jess!
We went over the marriage ceremony and we're for the most part decided on every detail! We just have to pick our hymn.
We had our final meeting with our partor last night...we're officially approved to get married!!
We were supposed to meet with our wedding coordinator last night too, but I got mixed up with our times and thought it was at 6:30, not 6, so we've rescheduled for next Tuesday.
I placed the order for our table numbers and mailed the deposit for our ceremony musicians!
I also ordered what I think/hope will be my rehearsal dinner dress!
It's A.B.S. by Allen Schwartz and their sizing is way different than J.Crew and Lilly, so I'm hoping it works out. If not, I have an idea for a backup, so I should be fine.
We're STILL waiting to hear back from our hotel contact about finalizing our room blocks. This really has been the most difficult part of the planning process.
I also finish addressing our invitations last night!! So happy to have that part done!! Now we just have to assemble them tonight and tomorrow and they'll be good to be taken to the post office (and hopefully hand cancelled) on Saturday morning!

Kelsey, that dress is cute. I hope it works out. The hotel thing sounds like a royal pain in the butt. I'm glad I didn't bother with that (rule breaker party of me, even though I've NEVER seen this done IRL).

I feel you on this. My dad is one of 13 and all of them will be there. My aunt is coming from New Orleans and is super excited to be apart of our day and to visit with everyone.
