July 28, 2000 I've picked out our official engagement picture. Well, actually two. :) They can be found in the photo album. I ordered the invitations Monday. We found a single card invitation that we liked. I can't wait to see the final product. I'll scan one when I get them and post it on this site. I've decided on the cake design for the wedding cake. The groom's cake is still iffy on what we're going to do. I'm also still deciding which cake topper I want to use. I found one that I love but it's a tad bit overpriced and I've only seen it online (yet to find in a store). Here's an idea of what the cakes will look like and the hopeful cake topper. Only 3.5 months to go!! I still don't have musicians yet but everything else has been taken care of or is in the process of being taken care of. July 20, 2000 Well the engagement pictures are in. I have several nice poses to choose from. All of them are great of John, wish I could say the same for me. One thing I did notice is my makeup wasn't enough. I wore what I was planning on wearing for the wedding and well, I need to find another color. I guess it is true that you need to wear more than you usually do for the pictures. This weekend, I'm going to register at Dillard's for a few more place settings of the china pattern that I already have (bought most of it with my income tax return two years ago). I'm also going back to Target where we registered a few months ago to remove a few items and add a couple of things I forgot about. I finally got a hold of the baker that came highly recommended to me and now I just have to find a cake design I like. There are so many pretty ones out there. Getting married in the middle Tennessee area? I have the number of a fabulous baker who does it half the price of other places. I haven't ordered the invitations yet, I've put it off until next week. Oh yeah!! We hit the 4 months to go mark Tuesday!! Woo Hoo. . . I can't wait. I've changed my mind on the honeymoon. We had decided on Cancun since John wanted to do an all-inclusive plan and it was cheaper than Disney World (which was my first choice) but I did some searching online and found a much cheaper way for us to go visit Mickey. The travel agent was going to charge us an extra $600 for Disney World. . .be careful when planning your honeymoon. If you can, check online before heading to one. July 12, 2000 Well, I'm finally making progress with my planning. I've already started decorating the wedding bubbles and creating the table decor for the reception. The caterer has her deposit, yeah!! I still don't have musicians though. The bridesmaid dresses have arrived and so far everyone seems pleased with them. I have to take one to the florist and re-coordinate the flower arrangements but that won't be a problem. I took vacation from work last week and stay home to work around the house and do some wedding planning. John and I got our engagement pictures taken and I pick the proofs up July 19. I scheduled my pre-bridal portraits for September 29. Now I just have to get hair and makeup appointments made. We're ordering the invitations next week hopefully so I'll have half of August and all September to address them. My aunt and I are already planning the Bridesmaid luncheon (dinner) for the week before the wedding. I've started a more rigorous workout program so help shed the existing pounds off. I have about 15 to lose in 4 months. At the rate I'm going, I should be able to do it. (Keeping fingers crossed) That's all I have to report as of now. I'm just counting down the weeks till the wedding!! �
