Wedding Wednesday

So tonight Joey and I are going to register for wedding gifts at one of our two locations. We will be visiting Bed Bath and Beyond in search for some kitchen gadgets as well as bedroom and bathroom accessories.

Now Joey and I have lived together for a while now and have a lot of the stuff that young married couples need when they first get married. My first thought was to not register for gifts at all and just ask people for money for the honeymoon. My grandmother-in-law did not like that idea at all! She said that the older generation is going to want to buy us things instead of giving us money.

So with that we decided to register for some gifts. We are going to try to register for things that we will actually use and have room for. As you know we just moved into our first house and even though it is bigger than our apartment it is still not huge. It is only 1200 sq. feet and does not have a lot of storage space.

I am excited about going shopping for the house with Joey tonight and hope that this will be a good experience!

Back to thinking about the wedding now that we are all moved into our house! Last week I received my flower girl baskets and flower petals from the Wedding Outlet and they are beautiful! I met with my bridesmaids a couple of weeks ago to finalize a date for our measurement fitting. We will be getting measured for our dresses on Oct. 17!!!!!!!! We also delegated duties for the bridal shower and my MOH is already getting a great start with picking out the invitations.

This week Joey and I will be going to register for gifts!!!!!!! Im really excited about this and hope that Joey will not totally hate it. LOL Then in the next coming week or so we will be finalizing which invitation we want and the wording! I will also be trying to get the rest of the addresses I need this week.

Stay tuned for more wedding updates!

Blue Monday

Home Sweet Home

So we have finally closed on our house and are completely moved in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry haven't posted anything in a while, we have been totally busy. Not only did we move in this past week but we also had a death in Joey's family :(

We are excited to be moved in. We are pretty much all unpacked with only our books left and we need to get a bookcase before we can unpack those. So we got cable and internet put in yesterday and this time we went with AT&T Uverse instead of Comcast to see how we liked it. So far so good.

We also got our Fridge in today finally! Trying to get a fridge was such a hassle. First we ordered one online 2 weeks ago through Best Buy and it was supposed to be delivered on Friday. Well they called Thursday saying they couldn't deliver until Oct. 9! So needless to say I was furious and canceled our order. So we went to Sears Home Appliance Center by our house and the customer service was amazing! They delivered it just 2 days later! Thank you Sears!

Well here is a peak at what our kitchen looks like!

Thoughtful Thursday

So today's Thoughtful Thursday is not actually about our wedding but about our new home. Our new house should be totally completed today! The DAP people have their inspection tomorrow and our final inspection is on Monday. If all goes well we close on our new home next Friday!!!! Here is a pic of what it looks like.



I can not express to you how excited I am! We have been staying with Joey's grandmother since the end of June and I can not wait to have my own place again! I will post more pics next weekend after we get moved in!

Countdown: 228 days

This week I will be ordering my flower girl baskets and silk hydrangea flower petals. Also this week I have my meeting with my bridesmaids on Saturday to discuss our first dress fitting and bridal shower. That's really all I have on my to-do list this week.

Flourish Friday

So today is all about my flower girls! When Joey and I first got engaged, flower girl baskets were the first thing I purchased. Unfortunately at that time we were planning an outside wedding so around Easter time I had bought white whicker baskets.

But now our plans have changed. Our wedding is a lot more formal and is inside so my whicker baskets really no longer work. So I have been looking for the right basket that isn't too expensive because remind you I have 4 flower girls! So even if I found some for $20 it would cost me over $80 for flower girl baskets.

I happened to run across this basket on The Wedding Outlet. I absoultely love the pearl handles and the best thing is its only $8.95each! I showed Joey to see what he thought and he also loved it and thought it was very classy.



To go along with the flower girl baskets I also came across these white hydrangea flower girl petals on Advantage Bridal.com. They are perfect since my flowers are hydrangeas and tulips. And they are on sale for $9.95.

I will be purchasing these items next week! So exciting! Can't wait to show my flower girls!

Right now is a little slow on the wedding front. The only thing I am doing at the moment is getting ready for a Bridal Party Meeting that is taking place next Saturday. We will be deciding on a date to get measured for our dresses in October and discussing the bridal shower.

I do want to mention that I got a new bridesmaid recently! One of my bridesmaid had something unexpected come up and could no longer be a part of our big day so I got the chance to ask my college friend Katie who had been dying to be in our wedding. She will get to meet everyone else for the first time next week.

Joey and I will be registering for our gifts at the end of this month after we get moved into our house. I have started looking at invitations and ordered some samples. We will need to make a decision by the end of October as they need to be ordered in November. I am also still looking at flower girl baskets.

So just a lot of looking at the moment.
