No Surprises!

Just so there's no surprises here's a few things to expect on Saturday!

1.) 71 Degrees, mostly sunny and 10% chance of rain (ok, ok, it was worth a try!)

2.) We are expecting about 200+ people but only rented 100 chairs. (a. because the ceremony is short and b. because they didn't carry as many chairs as we would've needed!)

3. The ceremony is going to be SHORT, seriously....like 15 min...

4. Make sure to bring tissues, there will be a few tear jerkers. (SOME things need to stay a surprise!)

5. Rooms are booking fast, so if you haven't booked yours chances are they will be sold out.

6. Brad and I aren't going to see each other until I walk down the aisle (nor will he see Rylee) so we aren't going to attend the social hour because we will be doing our pictures. (I can't wait for the pictures!!! yeah!)

7. Social Hour will start at 4:30 and go until 5:30pm (there will be a keg beer-our treat and then cash bar) Dinner will be at 5:30-7pm and then the dance will start at 7pm. (Make sure you bring your dancing shoes because I willl expect to see you all out there! :) )

8. We may not have programs because the ceremony will be so short, but if we do, it will probably be mostly just the names of the wedding party, etc.

So sorry if you like surprises and were bummed I ruined some, but I like to know what's going on ahead of time so maybe some of you do too...


5 MORE DAYS!!!!! :)

Getting R Done

The pen is flying over the list checking things off! My ribbon is for the centerpieces is in, my bridesmaids all have their dresses (and they look AMAZING!) and just this AM (before 9am mind you) I called to set up a meeting with Fletcher Freeman who is marrying us to discuss the details of the ceremony, I ordered our Cake Topper, and ordered chairs for the outdoor ceremony! Whew! Not to mention I am working 45 hours a week, raising an almost 4 year old (and almost 29 year old) and doing photography on the side. (I finished editing engagement pics/family pics last night and took pics at my cousin's wedding July 24th and took pics at a wedding July 31st.) WHERE DOES THE TIME GO?! Seriously, I'm surprized I get 8 hours of sleep sometimes! :) I took today off work to get caught up on a few things. At 1pm today I'm going to Northern Image to get my "Practice Do" for the wedding (and I'm going to pamper myself with a color and tan while I'm there!) Then tonight, some of my WONDERFUL friends that can't make it to my shower are taking me out for some dinner and drinks. I'm really looking forward to today's activities!!

Stay tuned!

And P.S. Don't forget to book your room! Time is running out! 218-365-6565 or 1-800-365-5070!
