Ten weeks and counting...

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!

Invites are already here!

Check out our beautiful invites- they're already here! Watch for them in the mail sometime in June... :-)

When Mike and I went out for "date night" last night, we were talking about how soon the wedding is. Basically, here's how our next few weeks go... This Friday is my first Relay event of the season. Between this week and the second weekend in June (7 short weeks), all my Relays take place, so that's pretty much going to be a whirlwind of activity. Then, a week after Relays are done, Mike and I go to Chicago for a Kenny Chesney concert (thanks Dad!) and my bridal shower (thanks Mom!) That following week, Mike leaves to go to the Olympic Trials for the greater part of a week. Then the first week in August will be my kickoff breakfast for Strides, my breast cancer walk in October. And at that point, we're down to three weeks until the wedding! Woo hoo!

Have a great weekend, and talk to you soon!

Still here?

It's been at least a month since the last time I posted! Things have been rolling right along and time is flying by. All of a sudden we find ourselves exactly 22 weeks away from the wedding, according to my countdown on the calendar. People have started making their travel plans to come down here (or up here, or over here, depending on where they're coming from!) Mike and I are going to order invitations and tuxedos today, and we're going to keep searching for a wedding ring for Mike. We'll start meeting with Ben, our pastor, in the next few weeks hopefully and begin working on the ceremony. Our reception location sent us a gift certificate for free ballroom dancing lessons (but we'll see if we can fit them in our schedules!) Pretty soon the girls and I will start looking for shoes, accessories, etc. And although I'm pretty much convinced the next two months are going to FLY by with all four of my Relay For Life events over by June 14, we'll only be down to about two and a half months at that point!

Anybody out there have any questions about the wedding? Just drop a comment to say hi if you read this so I know who's checking in! Have a great weekend!
