224 Day Progress post.
So my last post was on 398 which you can find here... 398 Progress post.
Not too much has changed, but stuff has been done. Some things have been changed and added. Its really starting to come together.
I tried to add as many pictures as possible, more visual person here.
Date: 10/2/10
Harrisburg, PA
I am going to skip over what hasn't changed:
The dress- still great.
Reception venue- Still ABC.
Garter- Still a Steeler's garter, just hasn't been purchased. (will probably be bought from Etsy seller- GartersbyKristi.
Colors- Still Baby blue, black, and white.
Onto Changed and purchased things!
Ceremony- Our Ceremony will now be held at ABC as well. We did this for time, and money reasons. They have a nice deck area, which is great. And incase the weather is crappy, which it can be in October, there is an inside area. Since we are already married, we will be having a friend "officiate" our "marriage". The term marriage will not be used, it will be our "celebration of love".
Headpiece- has been commisioned by LuLuSplendor. She is great to work with and I think I am going to love the design. She is going to try to have the stones in blue clear, and maybe black. Its awesome! This piece, but on a headband.
Shoes- My shoes for the entire wedding are now Custom Converse. I purchased them last night :-D. They are baby blue, with our wedding date inscribed on the sides. This is so me, and personally, I can't wear heels... at all. Like break my ankles sorta can't wear. Also, it doesn't help I am 1 inch taller than FH.
Rings- Yesterday we picked out our rings. They were much more than I had hoped, but we got what we wanted, and they look great.
FH got the bottom left ring in this picture. Tension mounted diamond.
My band is a little flashy but not too much. This wasn't my first choice... or really my choice at all. My Best Friend and FH went and they pulled rank because I wanted, well... nothing.
Save the Dates- I ordered ones about 3 weeks ago, and I hated them when I got them so I reordered another design from Vistaprint again. (Thank goodness for free!)
This is the design, but it doesn't show the wording. Our names will be in blue, like our wedding colors. The rest of the font is in white.
It would say:
Joseph G____ and Shana F____
are celebrating their love.

wedding website...
Formal Invitation to Follow.
Invitations- Not ordered yet, but will be done from cardsandpockets.com. We will try to have it match the design from the STD, but since they are being DIYed... who knows.
Music- completely up in the air. I thought we had settled on someone, but they said they couldn't do any face to faces.... Nah.... thanks though.
Photography- Photography is a big thing for me. I love photgraphy. One of my high school friends has a up and starting (but great) photography studio. Fresh Photography She is so in our price range, and I know her and trust her.
Favors- We are doing two things technically. People love practical and edible. I thought why not both. We are having a candy buffet, and we are doing pens.
The pens (something close, not exact) :
Candy buffet: I have 3-4 apothecary jars and then HUGE oversized martini, wine, and goblets, and some small rectangular containers holding 5-6 different types of candy. I have also obtained small chinese containers that are blank.
Final big change! Bridal Party.
My MOH got pregnant (WHOOO HOOO)... but she is due, just a few days after our wedding date. We are tenatively holding her in the party. I want her very much to be there, but I also want her to be 100% comfortable. Someone in the community suggested a stand in item in case she isn't able to attend, that I can give to her and her new kid as a commeration/I'm totally cool with you taking your mom away from my wedding. She has made jokes that she won't miss my wedding for anything.
