Stencils!!

I finally received the stencils to being etching the favors/centerpieces. And with this I have come to the realization that THIS IS GOING TO TAKE FOREVER!!! They came too long so I had to cut them and then place each piece (3 for one side) on separately to etch. The end result is really nice though, just very time consuming. Does this mean I'm going to give up and not do the idea? Nope; it just means that you will have to appreciate them even more when they are at the wedding :) All in the name of love I suppose.

Waste of Time...Sorta

Today we went down to AfterHours in Middletown so Nick could check out the tuxes that they had. We get there and the lady says to us, "what did they tell you on the phone? Well we are being bought out and will have much more in January, so come back then." Of course that is a very shortened version of the conversation. She was very polite, and everything. So we are going back around January to get the tuxes all figured out. So that was a waste of a trip (it is like 2 hours from the house!!) But it wasn't a total waste, we went to AC Moore's and Michael's, and bought some things for the wedding. Things like favor ideas, and a wax sealer (very old world-ish). We had fun, so that's all that matters. It was just annoying because we drove that far, someone could have called us (because we had an appointment) to let us know, but oh well. :)

Photog. & Caterer

This weekend was pretty busy. Saturday we went down to Peckville, PA to meet with the photographer & videographer (one company). They are SOOOO nice, which is good! We were about 20 min late, but no big deal.

After we had our meeting and we went to Honesdale to look at four wheelers, snowmobiles, and motorcycles. We started at Rusty Palmer's and just looked around, but didn't really find anything. Then we decided to go to Baer's. We went in to check out the nightrod, and ended up coming out wanting to buy a touring bike. We even test drove the General Manager's bike (a ultra classic electraglide)!! It was like riding on a cloud through heaven...seriously! So what does this have to do with the wedding you might ask??? Well we are considering buying one (probably used) and riding around the country (1-2wks) for our honeymoon. We'll see what happens with it...

Sunday we went down to meet with the Caterer with Nick's parents. We tasted stuffed chicken breasts, mashed potatoes, and pasta salad. Everything was good except for the pasta salad..it was way too oily. So it was a good thing that we tasted it even though it seems like a pretty generic thing. But other than that everything was great! The guy, Mike, is really nice and seems like he will be super easy to work with! We have to call him back in Jan/Feb to schedule a meeting in April to go over the menu a little more (we already have it decided, but around that time we will have more of an idea of numbers and things).

So that was our weekend of wedding things. I don't think there is much else coming up, except on the 20th. Nick and I are going to Middletown to see what kind of tuxes they have. We'll definitely keep you updated on how that goes.

Bridesmaids

Well today Jen and I went to try on bridesmaid dresses. We found the dress, of course it wasn't any of the ones that we went up there to try on. (Seems to a be a theme..) But the dresses are really nice. They are simple, but just enough character. The best part is that the girls can wear them again for a party or whatever. It looks really good on!! It's so cute!!! Of course I can't post on here without showing a picture ;)
