Thanksgiving Break

So, over Thanksgiving Break I got my engagement pictures back. All 2157 of them! I haven't even looked through all of the proofs yet, but I have looked at all of the ones the photographer picked. I also tried on dresses at 2 places in Lynchburg, VA! I found some I liked and put them on hold. I really really like one, so I might be updating soon! I am also meeting with my wedding planner this Saturday and possibly doing cake testing! I have finally picked the style of cake I want. Now I just need to work on my Save the Dates!

Wedding Planner!

So I officially talked to my wedding planner yesterday to tell her all about things I want and things I am willing to compromise on. Her name is Nannette Kallstead and her website is www.thepropersetting.com (I LOVE the name!). I am working on the exact ceremony location - I know it will be on the oceanfront, but I have to find a house to rent! I am trying to go dress shopping soon, but just in Lynchburg so my Mom will get an idea of what it is like (she is the one who wants to go in Lynchburg). I applied for Say Yes to the Dress (yes, you have to fill out an application!), but if they don't get back to me in time for me to go to NYC during the holidays, I probably won't do it. Mom has never been to NYC and I have never been at Christmas time, so I wanted to take her. I am definitely going to talk to J.Crew about the bridesmaids dresses over Thanksgiving (a distribution center is located in Lynchburg and I can talk to my Aunt Sharon who used to work for them). I am still waiting on my engagement pictures to be mailed to me - she took 2157 pictures!!! I saw a preview of them and I love them! She said they were being mailed out over Thanksgiving, and a set is going to Raleigh and one set to Bedford, so hopefully I will have them soon! Check facebook for when I get them in!

Wedding Date!

Ok! So I officially have a wedding date! June 19, 2010!

Here's the story: As some of you may know, I was trying for an August date. Well, my little brother has a high school scrimmage football game on the day that I was looking at (August 14th). For whatever reason, his coach is really strict about everything and my Dad was pretty mad that Matthew would have to miss this (I mean it is his senior year, but it is my wedding). My Dad suggested June, which is really soon! I told him I would compromise only if I could have a wedding planner (that is waaayy too much for me to do so soon, AND do this little thing called graduate and find a job). He said he would pay for one! We booked the reception area already and now have to work out all the details, but I am officially in their books! The reception will be held at the Whalehead Club at the OBX! I'm so excited!
