Re: Monday Checks!

  • These were all weekend checks!
    We had our marriage retreat weekend, for pre-cana, we had a blast and meet some amazing couples! FI and I were also asked to help with / talk at next years weekend! Super excited already for this :)
    Also FI found his tux and GM's - only 3 hours at the store... but they all look great! Booked a shopping date with my MOM, FMIL and my grandmother to go get all there dresses March 24 :) Can't wait, they are all going to look stunning! Also finalized the booking for our videography this weekend. The only things I have left is my DIY invites that I will finish this weekend, as well as making the wine for our favours. Hope everyone had fab weekends!

  • This weekend one of my bridesmaids, MOH and I went shopping for their shoes and jewlery. I thought it was going to be a hard process but it ended up being very easy. We all agreed pretty quickly and I love the stuff we got for them. I'm also so happy to have these two checks done now! There's some pictures of what he ended up getting.


  • Will do! My sister also has her first fitting for her BM dress! We're a little worried because she ordered a smaller size (she was right at it) so it'd be motivation to lose weight and she hasn't lol. My mom has to work but she's paying for their alterations and she was like yep Lauren told me she hasn't lost weight for it
  • My mom and I took Grandma out to find her a dress. Meanwhile I found awesome deals one a couple dresses for showers and RD.

  • Even though I'm sick, I did manage to get out and get envelopes for the invites.  This week I'll be on the couch addressing them all and stuffing them once I get stamps (also hopefully this week).

  • My bridal headband is supposed to arrive today! I hope I can get out of work early enough to make it home before the office closes to pick it up. Our complex office is supposed to be open until 5 but they usually cut out at like 4:45; it really pisses me off.

    Our wedding date is June 2, 2012

    104 invited 77 accepted! 27 can't make it Finally tracked down the procrastinators!

  • We bought our wedding bands last weekend!  I had to order it in the right size, which will take about 4 weeks, but it is so beautiful I wish I could wear it now- is it bad luck to wear your band before the wedding?
    My best friend's mom volunteered to address my invites for free so I'm meeting her this weekend for the hand off.  Also put in the order for our cake today.

    Here it is with my engagement ring...

    Started painting the dowels for the ribbon wands.


    Finalized the invitation design! :-)


    Going shopping for mob and bm jewelry after work today!


    I hope we will order our photostrip sleeves for the photobooth tonight!

    We also went on Saturday to our jeweler to get our wedding bands made. We decided to get fiance a white gold band. He wants something very plain. Originally we were going to go with palladium, but due to his allergies we were told to go with white gold. Lucky enough he isn't allergic to nickel otherwise he would have to wear a yellow gold band which wouldn't be awful, but wouldn't match my set.

  • My printer has been on overdrive the last few days finishing invitations and inserts.

    FMIL ordered her dress & two BMs picked up their dresses.

    Bought some new clothes and a larger upright suitcase at great sales.

    We spent most of the weekend with family for a funeral so I'm hoping to make up for it with my productivity this week!

  • NWR:  We are putting an offer in on the house we looked at on Saturday.  It took a lot of convincing but finally FI agreed.  We had to move fast (and he doesn't like that) because there was another offer.
