Wedding Planning...

...has been interesting to say the least! I am definitely jealous that my sisters had my dad to help out or more like plan the whole thing! And I am definitely missing his presence in this whole experience!

But Matt and I are doing good! We picked the place for our reception! Check it out!:)

It is a great place, price was right and the people seem to be on the ball!

Oh, we also picked a date! July 3, 2009. It is amazing how much cheaper a Friday night is! I'm just hoping that people have the 3rd off next year!

Let's see, what else have we done??? Well, I may wear my mom's dress. We'll see if it can get cleaned, but it is really pretty and my sister said it looked good on me and it also fit really well! I'm not really worried about the dress, I know I'll find it or my mom's will work out.

Now we just have to do invitations and find a photographer (which I found one, but she may be a bit too expensive...something we have to figure out!) I also found a band that my friend had at her wedding, and I'm hoping Matt will agree to them!

I have lots and lots of time to still get things organized! It is just super hard to do it from out of state! And since the ceremony is going to be in Ann Arbor at Concordia's Chapel and the reception is in Plymouth, my sisters can't really help all that much b/c it isn't really close for them. Oh well. It will come together.

I still need to pick a color...which may be blue...cayman blue! But it is TBD! Also, my sister gave me the advice to wait on my bridal party till it is December or January. Which is good advice! I know one of my really good friends who I totally thought would be my maid of honor a year ago is not really even a good friend anymore! So, with girls, it is sad, but friendships can change over a few months! But I am definitely having my sisters and my nieces and nephews! I'm so excited to have them all!:)

That is the DL on wedding planning! Just wanted to give you an update!:)

Oh and check out our site...I was so excited to put this together when we got engaged in May! And I waited forever for Matt to write something about himself, but he never did, so his info is blank! Oh well! The page is a start!:)
