Less than 100...

One of the many wedding newsletters I am now subscribed to dropped the "99 days until your wedding" email in my box late last week. Which puts us approaching 90 days right about now!

Here's all that's going on...
We have a DJ. We had one less than 24 hrs after we parted ways with the previous one. So all is well there.
My wedding dress is in!!! I'm going to try it on Tuesday- keep your fingers crossed that it looks and fits perfectly!
Doing some major wedding invitation addressing this weekend. Thanks to anyone who plans on helping out Friday and/ or Saturday! They won't go in the mail until June 16, but look for them shortly after that!

I think thats about it- it seems like things are picking up with the wedding a bit so its good that my summer events are almost done at work (two more weeks!)

Back to square one...

"We are back to square one. I have fired the DJ." -email received in my inbox this afternoon

Well, in Mike's words, we're back to square one. We had thought we found a great DJ. But we were sorely mistaken. A discussion over start/end times revealed the fact that we were being ripped off and, well, we don't have a DJ. Fortunately we already have come up with two other plans and are just figuring out which to go with. No worries, there WILL be music at the reception!
FYI- The DJ's name was Elite Mobile DJ. Just in case you were wondering.

May Update

Recent wedding happenings...
  • FINALLY Hobby Lobby put all wedding things 50% off! (Yes, I have been checking since the week we got engaged!) Got two flower girl baskets, a ring bearer pillow and an aisle runner. Still need to take the aisle runner out and check it out to make sure it'll work- we don't need a very long one so I'm sure it'll be good.
  • Picked up a signature frame at Michaels yesterday (also 50% off this week) which is what we'll be doing in lieu of a guest book!
  • Mom and I are addressing the invitations in about two weeks so they'll be ready to go later in June- very excited to get working on those and get them out to all of you!
  • The bridesmaid dresses are all in and to their respective owners. I've seen Daria try hers on but I haven't seen Katie or Nat try theirs on yet.
  • Supposedly my dress is going to ship from wherever its being made sometime this week, so it should be in soon!
Check back with you soon!
