This weekend Tom and I decided to actually get our butts in gear and start working on our major vendors for the wedding. We met with our day of coordinator on Thursday. On Saturday we meet with a possible florist and a videographer/photographer. The florist put together the most incredible centerpiece sample. It was so grand yet simple which ( Read more... )

After a nice weekend in Vermont, Tom and I met with Msgr. Romano on Thursday so officially book St. Bernadette for our wedding. Watching him erase the pencil-hold and ink it in the book was so satisfying. We discussed pre-cana and other requirements which also really started to make it so real. We are having a full mass and Sister Beata will be ( Read more... )

First of all, Happy New Year! As soon as the ball dropped, Tom an I looked at each other and said "We are getting married THIS year." I can't believe it ( Read more... )

This past Thursday we signed the contract with our DJ. We are using Five Star Entertainment and I highly reccomend them. The reason we went with this company and didn't even LOOK at others is because we've seen them so many times before that it was just a given we were going to use them ( Read more... )

He started to speak and at first I honestly thought he ( Read more... )

And then we have the social event of the century - Justin and Karen's wedding is quickly approaching. Lee called a few minutes ago so I know she's going a little nuts too. I think these 2 ( Read more... )

oh, so yeah... I forgot to write about the wedding expo that Madeline & I went to on Wednesday night. It was a nice time and I learned alot. We got to The Towne House early, which was good because I got to see the vendors set up. They had a cheese & crackers station set up, so Madeline ate a little ( Read more... )

Ok, so yesterday I went over to my mom's to update her website, however plans changed when I got there. Instead of working on the computer, my oasis from reality, I was working with her sending out packages & other stuff. I gotta say the relationship with my family a weird setup. Everyone seems to be interested only in what they are doing. ( Read more... )

And as Lee projected the Vera Wang dress won! All the fittings were today and to my knowledge everything went well. But then again, I don't pay attention to everything. LOL. Thank Goodness everyone (occasionally) listens to me. As far as Vera Wang Bridal is concerned the wedding is 1 month early. LOL. This is to ensure all the dresses are ( Read more... )
