Times-a-flyin!

We finally hit below the 75 day mark. I shouldn't say finally, because it has been going pretty fast. And good news...We FINALLY received our income tax refunds! Now the wedding planning can continue. Which it has. We ordered the groomsmen gifts, and I ordered the calla lilies needed for my bouquet as well as the reception. Mailed a check to the dj, photog. & videog, and am holding onto one for the "florist". (Which reminds me that I should call her). I was looking at my calendar yesterday at school and noticed that I need to get my butt going with these invitations. We should have them mailed out between April 19-May 3, because that's 6-8 weeks before the wedding. HOLY MOLY, huh??

So long...

It has been such a long time since I posted last, or at least it feels like it. Not much has happened in terms of the wedding, but some so I'll spill on that...In an earlier post I mentioned that we ordered all the vases for the centerpieces/favors and well THEY CAME! It was on a day when I was sick and Terry had taken me to the doctors. When we got back there were these HUGE packages sitting OUTSIDE in the RAIN!!! So we had to carry them in, and they were HEAVY!! Since then though they have been sitting on the porch. This weekend/week I have make it a priority to go through them and look at each one to make sure non are broken. What else???

Oh- Nikki called about the flowers; she has them all at her house and wanted me to come look at them. I went and looked at them and we are pretty satisfied with them. We need to make some minor changes to the flowers she got, but overall I think it is going to work out just fine :)

This week I have to get my butt in gear and call the caterer to let him know the menu choices we have decided upon. I was supposed to do it sometime in Jan/Feb. so I'm not late on that, but getting close.

Other than that we are just at a stand still with the wedding until our income tax checks come in, then we should be on the ball and rolling again. (kinda hard to do things without the money there...teehee)

On a Roll!!!

So this weekend was really busy for us in regards to wedding planning and getting things done! We ordered the invitations, flower girl basket, ring bearer pillow, guest book & pen, and garter set from davidsbridal.com! Then on Saturday we went to Binghamton and picked out the tuxes! While in Binghamton we swung by Maines Warehouse and picked up tablecloths, cups, and all that good stuff. Saturday night when we got home we ordered the remaining centerpiece/favor vases, our toasting flutes, serving set, and cake topper! On Sunday I went to Oneonta, while Nick was down in Jersey picking up his newest eBay purchase, and picked up our plates from BJs. We picked up the silverware from BJs last weekend so we are all set on that. (everything is plastic- but they are REALLY NICE!!)

And on Sunday I got a phone call from Nicki, the girl who is doing our flowers, and she told me she picked up a bunch of stuff on Saturday, but not everything. She's waiting for the roses to go on sale, and we talked about the calla lilies. So that seems pretty well underway. (I'll write another blog about the flowers because they changed sorta)

Oh and today, Monday, I am sending out the check for the DJ so that is also taken care of! Well it's actually Tuesday when it will go out because of no mail today.

Even though a lot of what we got done this weekend, and bought are small details we are still relieved to have them completed or at least started. One less thing to worry about days before the wedding:)
