Wedding Update

Ok, so we took back all the stuff I bought, except for the pen holder and centerpieces.  We found some other cheaper stuff that we liked and plan to go back and buy it as soon as possible.

For now we are sticking with my general idea of centerpieces.  Stephen has a few ideas of his own and we are toying with them……but for the most part its the same idea I originally had.

I ordered the cake topper yesterday.  Have no idea what the cake is going to look like but we both really loved this topper.

We went to the bridal show this weekend.  Stephen made an appointment with a cosmetic dentist to get his tooth fixed.

Ive decided I can just make my own invites etc.  Printed out samples yesterday for Stephen to see tonight.  Just got to find some pretty paper to print them on.  I showed them to Rachel……she really liked them.

Slowly but surely its lookin like we might be able to pull this off financially.

The first place I looked at to hold the happy event never emailed me back.  I had moved on from them and started looking at other places.  I told my sister about them for her wedding, she called……..they seem cheap enough.  We get the reception center……not sure what else, other than access to all 35 acres for just $650, we also get the place the night before to set up and such.  WHOO HOO!!

Rachels stepdad is a wedding photographer/videographer.  Rachel says he is willing to do it for us, all we pay for is supplies.

Stephen and his mom have come up with the idea that she could cater for us.  That would be her wedding gift to us.  Since she cant really afford much else.  Again, just pay for supplies.  My only problem is, I dont want one of our VIPs working…..I just want her to be able to enjoy herself.  We shall see. 

When we went to the bridal show we met a guy from a place who does non denom weddings, they have several ministers.  I was reading over their paperwork last night and such and I think I like them.  Just gotta find out how much it cost.

Oh……I found a site online with some really cool cakes, they were at the show……I liked them…….I think I want to go with them.

I guess thats about it for now.   Got to start making phone calls.  If all of these things pan out like I hope they will…..all we really have left is a florist, DJ, dresses and Stephens ring. 

What else am I missing…….what else do I need??

We started our registries this weekend as well.  Yay.  BTW…….what are your suggestions for things to put on a bridal registry????

I was really afraid we would have to wait until 2008 because of finances…….but we might be able to pull this off.
