Wedding & Other Bullets, without the bullets
So there are still plenty of things to do - but we did get some Bridesmaid Dresses picked out at David's Bridal on Friday night.
This DRESS but in black: LINK
It's just a totally different material than the other dresses - and this in black compared to the other materials in black was a no contest on elegance.
I think the girls can wear whatever shoes they are comfortable in (black, of course) and I will be picking out the hair pieces and jewelry sometime soon.
All but one groomsman are measured & since it's a wedding part of 8, so four guys, John's tux is free. Nice! We have to pay $5 for insurance though. Oh well!
Paul ordered suspenders for his tux rental, but the lady said it's like $10 to rent. Well, I'm going to double check on that price next time we're in and then go buy them. My dad will need them, as will John. Not sure if Mark will want them. Guess we'll find out.
We made our music choices the other week - so that is nice to have behind us. We found two pre-printed (front cover) programs that we liked but are discussing "creating" our own - either way we would be printing the insides ourselves. Eeek!
Haven't finished putting together the invitations yet, but have about a month so it is overall, okay. I feel like I've been hit by a truck today (stupid sinus viral type thing) and have been Nyquilling it for about, well almost 24 hours now. Will continue until I need to switch to Dayquil for work tomorrow. Should make reporting time fun. Eeek!
Next weekend we are heading back to SD to finish up the bouquets and create the center pieces. I need to remember to bring boxes with for transporting them home.
AND time to go back to bed.

Very nice bridesmaid dress! I'm going to follow Margaux's example and tell my bridesmaids that they need to visit David's Bridal, and pick out any dress they like, provided it is 1 - tea length, and 2 - Capri-colored. Strapless, full sleeve, I don't really care. The dresses will be light blue, and we'll have orange flowers.
For programs, have you looked at Vistaprint? We're ordering our save the dates through them, and will order custom thank-you cards. I'm still at a loss for invitations - haven't seen ANY I like. And I imagine my wedding program will follow the invite style.
We can't pick wedding music, etc. until we're done with our church classes. Only one more! And then in December, we'll meet with the priest again to talk about the ceremony order, time, etc. We'll have to pick our readings and music. Looking at the suggested readings, I'm feeling all "blahhhh" about it. Corinthians does nothing for me, and I don't think Song of Songs quite mirrors "us" either. More study/reflection needed.
@ExLibris -
My Pastor said that most couples find the verses they like within their counseling... I'm hoping we have that luck. We start next Saturday. Not sure how many visits - usually around 3. I know we have to do a survey.
I will go check out Vistaprint now... we made our invitations with a stamp set from Stampin' Up. I'm pretty sure I can't handle doing that much stamping again, hehe, but I think that we might get the shimmery paper going for the program too.
Did I ever send you my new address? I need yours too!
*finally* wedding planning is fun again.
I googled wedding scripture...and I got a lot of different ideas in fact I had one the priest had not seen and actually liked
I also used a paper for the programs that had a flower on I liked and took them to kinkos and had them printed....Lakes Printing in Brainerd has very competive prices and you can email stuff to them and they will use your own paper.
