Well the last couple of days have been HUGE!!! 253 days to go!! Yesterday we went to ShaneCo in Tigard, OR and we ordered our rings!
Cut for many photos!
This is my wedding ring and you can see my engagement ring as well. My wedding ring is white gold with 3 sapphires and 2 diamonds. It's very very pretty! My engagement ring is tanzanite set in white gold.
He got a titanium band, seen below!
We finally settled on a venue and we put the deposit down this morning and signed our contract! We are getting married at the Troutdale House on the Sandy River in Troutdale, OR.
http://www.thetroutdalehouse.com/ It is very well priced, the people who run it are awesome and many things are included with our rental! Including access to a large kitchen and no requirements of using any specific catering or service. They also have DJ equipment, a large TV with DVD player and sound system available for us do-it-yourself folks!
We also signed contracts and put our deposit down on our photographer this morning as well! The very talented Martin from
http://www.martiniphotography.com/ who is incredibly well priced and has great photographs! We will be doing an engagement sitting with him as well.
My dress I bought about 6 months ago, seen below!
This is the garter that I am looking at getting from Etsy:
We ordered our guestbook from www.guestbookstore.com
Here's the outside:
And we got the casual page style for the inside, the pages are back and front with little things for folks to fill out and draw pictures and write down memories. I figure it will be something cool for them to do between the ceremony and the photographs.
