Registry

Ok, I haven't been on here in quite some time, so I kicked Amy off the computer and took over!!! HAHA!!

So, we've been real busy (ok Amy has) with the wedding. She's been real diligent about studying up on all the different kinds of florists, cakes, honeymoon locations, etc. I've been real diligent about ... hmm ... oh yeah, paying the down payments for the florists, photographer, etc. I'm a good catch huh?

Well, this good catch got even better this weekend. I started off by taking her to a chic flic. We went and watched 27 dresses at the theatre. Now don't go spreading this around but it was actually kind of a cute move. Ok, enough of that!

So, today we went fake shopping! That's right, we walked (and walked and walked) around Macy's and Target and shot things with a laser. You get this UPC reader and walk around and choose the items that you will need to start off your marriage. I tried to quickly go to the lingerie department, but was immediately stopped. SHEESH!

But we did pick out some really cool dinnerware (Trojan Red and Illini Blue) and other kitchen stuff. We started off this adventure at 1pm and didn't get home until 7pm. LONG time. My feet are killing me.

So, I guess this is where I tell you all that we are registered at Target and Macy's. I guess you can go online and see all this wonderful stuff. Hope you have as much fun looking at it as I did laser-tagging it.

Now back to your regularly scheduled Amy broadcast...

Happy new year!

I know, I know, it's been forever since I posted on this thing- we weren't really getting many comments, so I haven't been writing much, but I'm willing to give it another shot. If you want me to keep writing in here, start posting some comments! :-)

Well tons of updates to be made on the wedding...

• The ceremony is going to be at the Vineyard Church in Urbana. Since it's so huge (seats about 1000-1500 people), we're going to have the wedding in a smaller, more intimate room. It's going to be really beautiful!
• The reception is at the Regent Ballroom in Savoy, just as I posted before. No real updates here, except I hear that it's all booked up through the majority of next year! I'm so happy we got in before everybody else! One of my new co-workers takes ballroom dancing there and says how beautiful it always looks for weddings! They told us that starting in March, they pretty much have a wedding every Saturday and we can stop by and see everything whenever we feel like it. I fully intend to take them up on that to get some ideas on how to set up the reception!
• I'm going dress shopping next week. I think I have my dress picked out, as I looked at it online and then found it in person and loved it on the hanger. Mom is going to come down and hopefully that will be the end of the dress search! I've also picked out bridesmaid dresses (almost officially) and flower girl dresses are down to two choices. The color is called "merlot" and the lady called it closet to magenta.
  
• There will be LOTS of pink flowers, in varying shades. Our florist is very creative and able to work with us in coming up with unique ideas. I just booked the florist today!

I guess that's probably about it for now. Post comments so I know you're checking! :-)
