I thought I would put wedding planning aside for a while after the action packed Christmas break. But I have found that that is not really possible to do! Hopefully in the next 2 weeks, we will be able to have things cool off. Until then, this is what is in the works!
We are looking at a contract for an awesome guitar player to play during the ceremony. He has a really great repertoire, and will learn 2 specialty songs for the ceremony as well. Check out his site and you can hear some of his work. I am so excited about this part - I have seriously wanted to have acoustic guitar at my wedding since I was in high school! I love love love it!
Our wonderful friend Jen is working on our Save the date goodies - we got one part in the mail and she is graciously helping with the other part! She sent us the first draft and we are making a few adjustments, and get another draft this weekend! It's so great to have such awesome friends. Love you girl!!! We are also looking at stamp options - so weird the stuff you think about. I mean, honestly, nobody really cares about the stamp. Or do they? My dad probably will take notice - he's into stamps. And I remember the stamps Em and Nick had on their invitations. So maybe it is worth looking into....just a little bit though. I'm not trying to get stamp fever or anything.
We have sent in contracts to all of the hotels that we are using for the weekend - so people can start booking those rooms! We reserved space at 3 hotels and are hoping that people find one that suits them. We also hope lots of people book at the Valencia because if we get a certain number of nights booked, then our honeymoon suite is free! Yayayaya!
I have also decided to treat myself to a Personal trainer at my gym. Mike and recently re-joined and they offer you one free session. I really liked this guys style (Mike didn't though. Thought his pants were too tight. And SMALL!) I had my second session with him tonight, and I am really looking forward to it! I just want to feel good and confident on our wedding day. I am not trying to lose a bunch of weight or anything. I still want to look like me. Just buffer.
It seems like every day we are getting something new in the mail. This week we got part of our Save the Date stuff, and an invitation sample and a new camera that we bought as an early wedding present to each other. It's kind of exciting to get stuff besides bills in the mail!
We have decided on invitations - I won't tell you if they are from the first round or the second. But they are AWESOME. Very simple. Very "us" - cheese and all! I sent in the contract for those tonight, and am looking forward to seeing our names on them! I can see it now....Together with their families, Mike and Stephanie ask you for the honor of your presence as they celebrate their MARRIAGE!! (can I put in fine print - "It's about freaking time?" or would that be tacky?)
