Checking another few things off the list!

Today was a big day in wedding check lists....

1) Brent booked his bachelor party - he is going to New Orleans! I am so happy for him, he is such a music man.

2) My bachelorette party is planned and ticketed, the fun and partying will begin in just a few weeks....bring it on!!

3) We finally picked out my wedding band (Brent has had his for a few weeks now). After returning the last bands we picked out, which were part of my engagement ring "set", had too much bling for me (yes, that isn't what every girl wants) Zach and Danielle took us to their jeweler. As a referral, they gave us 50% off the ticketed price!! Lets just say I couldn't be happier with how that all went down.

This is what it will look like-



4) We spent some time at Men's Warehouse. Brent tried on a few jackets and he is right in between two sizes. With that in mind and the fact that we are in full blown insanity workouts (version of P90X) we were advised to come back the end of March. That way if Brent's body changes, we won't end up having to buy another new suit because this one was too big. It was good to feel them out and see where he was sitting in the sizes.

5) The 50% deposit is down on all the food, we will pay the remainder once we have a final head count.

6) We are on the final stages of the tenting, layout, supply, linen quote. We just received the final samples to pick the linen colors. I have a few more questions for them and then we are good to go.


It's such a relief when it all comes together. It's been pretty rough planning from this far away, but all I can say is thank goodness for EMAIL! We are doing everything we can to continue to spread out all the costs, makes it all less daunting.

Today is 3 months until wedding day!!!

More to come....

There has been a lot going on here in Long Beach. First off, we have been doing some slow improvements throughout the house and lawn.

1) Our three fruit trees are beginning to fruit - got our first lime!
2) We finished the bathroom makeover (have some before and after photos)
3) Spent Christmas in Berkeley with the family, had a Charlie Brown tree at our house
4) Brent and Dad put in a new front door
5) We are sorting out a lot of wedding details, ready to get to April!

Enjoy the fruits of our labor (no pun intended)......
