You like me, you really like me!

So, I've recently discovered that I've got some Blog followers! You know who you are, making requests for new pictures and regular updates...

It's really nice to know that there are people interested in all this nonsense I come here to write. Makes me feel like I'm not alone in this giant world of ours!

So we've made some advances in the world of the wedding.... the Bridesmaid's dresses are in, I'm not sure if I've posted about this yet, but I am now - and that's what counts!

AND our invitations have been ordered, received and we're starting to put them together! I even thought about the details, I went to Michaels with Rob and bought a couple of 'sage' gelly pens, this way, the addresses on the front will match the printing on the inside! I know, I'm neurotic, no-one really notices these things, but it helps me sleep at night!

Also, you are all in for a treat - literally! We've decided on a tasty alternative to the midnight sweet table that we're sure you'll all love!

Coming soon - we have our menu tasting next week, so we'll be able to update the website with the proper menu!

Another one bites the dust....

Well colour me surprised.... our limo company has gone belly up, taking our deposit with them!

So now, Rob and I have to find a new limo company, 6 months to the wedding, on one of the more popular days of the summer...

THANKFULLY we found out from another bride that is using their company, as they didn't call to notify us or anything! Can you imagine the fire I'd be breathing if I was standing around waiting for my limo on the day of my wedding!??!?!

So, now I'm faced with a new task, which I'm sure won't be TOO hard, when I found out, i panicked and emailed every limo company in the GTA, Durham and Simcoe - one of them is bound to be available, and in our price range!

Ever feel like the whole world was going to a party, and your invitation got lost in the mail?

Last night, Rob and I sat down and we flipped and flipped and flipped through the wedding invitation books my mom orders from.

Wouldn't you know it, my taste is SO different from Rob's. I wanted something simple, elegant and classy. Rob wanted all those things too, but just, different.

We finally ended up deciding on an invitation we both loved. We got the wording down and everything! We even have an RSVP date, for those of you who are generally tardy - June 20th.

It's really incredible how real this makes everything! I mean, any number of contracts can be drawn up, but when an invitation is ordered, you mean business!

I really can't wait to get them in so that we can start addressing them :D

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone!

This year is poised to bring nothing but goodness, I can feel it! We're less than 200 days to the wedding, which is probably already the most exciting thing this year LOL

We have the first wedding of the year, Mel and Larry, on January 19th. This day is especially special because it marks the 6 month countdown for Rob and I - huge deal!

I find that since we got engaged, we went on wedding meltdown for the first year. Finished almost everything we could, planned EVERYTHING we could think of LOL then we took almost a year off of the heavy planning. We did little things here and there, but I was able to clear my mind occasionally and think of things other than wedding. Now, we've entered 2008, the year of our wedding... time's ticking!

All the things we put off because it was too early are now going to come crashing down on us! We've got the guestlist we need to finalize, menu tasting so we can finalize it, invitations we've got to choose, dress fittings, rings, tuxes, favours to prepare, rehearsals to plan.... the list has once again become never ending.

I'm thinking about enlisting my sisters to help with some of it... like the rehearsal, maybe they can do that.

Anyways... Happy New Year to you all!
