Ok, so I've slacked big time...and haven't written for over a month. Therefore, I am going to give some fun details to try to make up for it to my readers (assuming readers actually exist).
Lets start the exact same place I did, 3 months and 2 days ago...my engagement ring. It's exactly what I wanted. I gave some hints to the mister, but he went and picked it out after getting the family diamond from my mom. I adore it.
Our ceremony will be on the porch of a golf course with a beautiful view, just in case anyone gets bored with the 10 minute ceremony...fear not. There's something to look at.
...BUT before I get there my dad and I, with a set of heels and a million pounds of dress must conquer these stairs...
I was interested in making my wedding a combination of mildly creative and as eco-conscious as a wedding can be. I decided to limit the cut flowers to the bouquets, and even then, I will be getting locally grown flowers. That created a need for some creativity for the centerpieces and I think I did okay. This is in the works still but I believe I have chosen living these living topiaries. I think they will be dressed up a little - but I think they're simple but elegant and someone can take them home and keep them alive.
Underneath there will (as long as my sewing machine cooperates) be runners in this print.
We haven't been to the food testing yet (that reminds me, thing number 2,582 to schedule), but I'm just thrilled about filet mignon...I will most likely need a wedding bib (one of the best ideas Beth has ever had!) but I WILL eat at my wedding, and I will be eating beef. The other food is called "Airline Chicken." Now that I've found out what it really is, I'm disappointed that it such an unappealing name. It is the wing and the breast attached...looks very regal- in a midevil sort of way.
This is the closest to the cake...however inside it is second to none. There's a layer of spice cake with cream cheese filling, white cake with lemon filling, white cake with rasberry cream filling, and a chocolate mocha sheet cake to boot.
I have picked songs, but those too are best left a surprise...
I hope this made up for my hiatus. I have a few more things to blab on and on about.
