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!

Thoughtful Thursday

For this week's Thoughtful Thursday, I want to get your thoughts on changing to another outfit at the end of your reception. What do you think? Did you stay in your wedding dress to leave your reception or did you change?

I am thinking about changing into a coctail dress at the end of my reception for when we leave to hotel. I think its a good idea because that way the person you put in charge for getting your dress cleaned can take it and you don't have to worry about it while you're on your honeymoon.

Heres a pic of the pattern for the dress I'm going to change into. (Pattern A)

Falling for the Falls

When Joey and I first started talking about where we wanted to go for our honeymoon our first destination pick was Rome. Joey loves history and really enjoys roman history. We wanted to see the Coliseum and the Pantheon and eat some authentic Italian food. Unfortunately a trip to Rome is not cheap! The plane tickets themselves were $2,000.

So one day I was driving to work and heard some one on the radio talk about Wichita Falls and it made me think of Niagara Falls. So I started researching everything we could do at Niagara Falls and how much it would cost and made the decision that this would be a fun & romantic place for us to go on our honeymoon.

We will be spending four nights at the Marriott Niagara Falls Fallsview Hotel & Spa in Niagara Falls, Canada. The room has an AMAZING view. While we're there we would like to

•Take a helicopter tour. niagarahelicopters.com•Take a journey behind the falls. niagaraparks.com
•Visit the bird kingdom. birdkingdom.ca
•Take a ride on the maid of the mist. maidofthemist.com
•Eat dinner at the Skylon Tower. skylon.com
•Visit the Nightmares Fear Factor. nightmaresfearfactory.com

So where did you go on your honeymoon or planning on going?
