I thought starting a blog would help to keep everyone up-to-date on our wedding planning.
I know there are some long distance people (and just busy people) that may not get to be as involved with everything we are up to so hopefully this will serve to keep everyone in the loop! Now of course we won't be divulging EVERY detail since we want a certain surprise element to the wedding but we'll give out little tidbits here and there.
Plus we know the wedding won't be for a while so for now, there may not be much to write.
We have done a few wedding related things though :) Me, Jesse, my mom and dad, and Jesse's mom all went to a bridal fair in June. It was pretty overwhelming to say the least. There are soooooo many things to plan and sooooo many different vendors in San Antonio (which is where, for now anyways, we are planning on having our wedding). One very good thing did come out of the fair.... we got FREE engagement photos!!
A photographer at the fair was giving out free sessions to brides who wanted them. Of course I jumped at the chance for free pictures. So we booked a date and June 26 we had our pictures done. The guy was so nice he let us choose the place (Hemisfair park) and he let us do two outfits! It was 800 degrees outside (ok maybe not but it felt like it) but it was sooo fun!
We did some semi-formal ones and then changed into Dallas Cowboy gear. We took photos downtown for 2 1/2 hours. Even Jesse enjoyed himself :) Monday we went to get the photos from the photographer. he gave us a CD with all of our pictures and they turned our GREAT!
To top it off, I was able to order an engagement photo book for FREE too from shutterfly.com!
The only other "real" wedding thing we've done is buy a card box... actually a card birdcage. It's one of the few things I knew that I wanted and we had been casually looking. I knew in my head what I wanted but we hadn't been able to find one. Then one day in Hobby Lobby there it was. I know we weren't running out of time to find one or anything but it was exactly what I had pictured and 50% 0ff.... so it was fate! It was our first official wedding purchase and probably the last for a long time although we are hoping to buy bits and pieces for the wedding over the next few years so we don't have a huge amount of money to spend all at once.
We also already have our color scheme and "theme"/inspiration in mind :) now if I can only stick with it and not change my mind as time goes on!
