Reception Essentials
It's weird to finally be down to just picking up things here and there. It seems like I am planning this huge event and I have this whole idea in my head of how it will look, and just pray that it all comes together well. I wish I could set up a mock wedding in the church just to be sure everything will look okay.
I have less than 3 months to go, and I am getting antsy! I am having my other set of wisdom teeth taken out on July 24th, but before that on July 23rd, I get my dress back! And by that time there will be barely a month left to go! eeek!
Keith & I have been house-hunting for the past few weeks, so far we have found nothing. We really liked a house that had a in-ground pool & hot tub, but then the owner didn't call us back so we started looking at other homes. Yesterday, the owner called us back though, so we are going to look at it again. I don't think we will like it as much after seeing the other houses, but maybe we will, who knows?!
I've been shopping on theknot this morning, I spent about 90 bucks on favors and other stuff.
I also got a handkerchief for my Daddy (he's a hankie kind of guy), double stick tape, and wedding cameras.
I believe that all that is left to do is:
- Mail Invitations
- Pay Photographer
- Decide on Grooms Cake
- Print Programs
- Decide on Food
- Order Alcohol
- Finish Playlist for Reception
- Buy Candles
- Finish Button Bouquets
- Order Tuxes
- Make Sure Mom finishes flowers
- Paint lanterns & I Do Letters
- Get Married!

My Dress!
I found a review on Davids Bridal about my dress, and the girl is actually wearing the full crinoline with it! The crinoline is what makes my dress. So this picture is more like what the dress looks like on me:
Yea, I know the pictures saved small. poop.

Eureka!
I've finally decided on aisle decor! See the tiny lanterns lining the aisle? It's perfect!
Inspiration from: http://www.kristinspencer.com/blog/C586723384/E20070309140446/Media/HC079%20copy.jpg
I found 5 inch lanterns on www.americanbridal.com for $2.21 each. I ordered 24 of them. Making my total 53.04! For the candles inside, I am going to buy LED tealight candles, so that I don't have to worry about a live flame. YEAH!! Right now I am bidding on ebay and should get 24 LED candles for about $30 bucks.

Wedding Ceremony Songs
I never thought that choosing our songs for the ceremony would be so difficult.
We decided a long time ago that the wedding processional would be to "Stand By Me" by Ben E. King. So that was taken care of, for 6 months I have hunted, listened, and eliminitated songs. Finally, the ceremony list is complete.
Prelude: Love Is A Beautiful Thing- Phil Vassar
Processional: Stand By Me- Ben E. King
Bride's Entrance: You're Beautiful- Instrumental
Song Before Vows: This I Swear- Nick Lachey ( don't care if they divorced, love this song!)
Song During our Sand Ceremony: Lost In This Moment- Big & Rich ( little bit cliche but FH loves it and requested it)
Recessional: Signed, Sealed, Delivered- Stevie Wonder
First Dance: Soulmate- Josh Turner
Now we just need 200 other songs to play during the reception-yay! 3 months, 1 week, and some odd days to go!

Cheap Shoes!
I would like to discuss the ridiculousness of wedding shoe prices. Why would you want to spend over $40.00 for a pair of shoes that most likely you will never wear again? I just don't get it. There are plenty of low cost alternatives, like these for example:
$9.99-Cutesygirl.com
GoJane.com- $19.99 and below!So many choices, so much money to be saved!
