Wedding Ceremony & Reception Venue is Booked!

Today we have booked the location for both our ceremony and our reception. YAY!! That is a big relief for me. Now I can get on with the rest of the planning! :)

Our ceremony will be outside at Majestic Oaks Golf Club and then dinner, drinks and dancing will follow.

I'm still figuring out a ceremony time, but I am thinking 2:30. This will give us time to take pictures before the ceremony. Now I just need to figure out what guests will do immediately following the ceremony since our reception hall is located at Majestic Oaks as well. Wish me luck!

I am getting more and more excited!!!!!

Let the scatterbrain moments begin...!

I received a few sample colors for the outfit for my flower girl and I'm thrilled with 2 out of the 3 so YAY! I'll be going dress shopping with some of my girls on October 11th, so I'm going to bring those swatches to compare with the potential bridesmaids dresses so I can see how it'll look. I'm getting so excited, the planning is finally under way!

A Butterfly Hairpiece for Gloria!

I love this! And since our wedding will be in the middle of summer, Gloria will have her hair up and then we can stick this in there somehow! :)

Engaged! ...for about 6 months now! :)

Roger and I have been engaged for a little over 6 months (or about 18 months if you want to get technical :) and it's all FINALLY starting to set in for me. I have just started this blog to keep all of my ideas, thoughts, photos, venues, vendors in one place.

I haven't tried on dresses yet, but I plan to very, very soon. Here are the ones that I like so far: (All would be in white, regardless of what color is shown)



The first one is David's Bridal #T8946R. The other 2 are DaVinci #8228, 8246 & 8220 (In order)

I'm not sure that I'll like the way strapless dresses fit, but I do know that my boobs won't be so heavy that they'll push my dress down. I do really like the halter neck styles.
