What's New?

Well it feels as though the list never gets any shorter. There is always things to do, and new developments to pay attention to. The latest is that Rose, Nathan, Brent and I bought a house! It's slightly overwhelming, yet really exciting. We have been doing a lot of thinking and planning over the past week or so, and so the wedding stuff has kinda been on hold. But, I think I'm jumping right back in!
My mom and I met with the caterer this week. His name is Chef Paul and is really great. He is actually a magician in the kitchen and makes an average of 132 meals a day, with no staff!! It's insane! Anyways, the meal is going to be fabulous with chicken, pasta, pork loin, salads, breads, and amazing desserts. It is going to feel like a royal wedding with the service that we are getting, but crazy enough, he's the cheapest around! It will be great!
I met with Ruth Martens (my "florist") and talked more about the bouquets and flowers. We're not totally settled on what we're going to have, but the colours are still a dusty rose, lavender, and some darker shades as well. They will be beautiful. I never thought I would have a pink and purple wedding though! Hopefully it's not too overwhelming.
The decoration ideas are still brewing in my head. I've found it really hard to imagine, but thankfully I have a whole crew of creative brains to get ideas from. Maria is coming in two weeks and so when she comes, we'll hopefully make some progress on that front.
As for the dress, I am going to my grandma's this week to start the adventure! I am soo excited and anxious to get it started. I think that will really make this whole wedding adventure a reality. At this point, most everything has been hypothetical, and a smattering of ideas. I think when I start to work on something tangible, it will really hit me that this is real. It will be incredible!
So, that is the lastest greatest I think. I am soo excited for when Maria comes. That will commence the showers and everything will then move at high speed! Hold on tight!!
