20% off at Macy's anyone?

So Corrie got these coupons in the mail that give anyone 20% off on gifts on our Macy's registry. If anyone is interested, leave a comment and we'll mail one out to you right away. They are only good from Friday June 26 - Tuesday June 30th, so it'll have to be quick!

scouting report

Just got back from an abbreviated weekend in Augusta. Got a lot of details in the planning done, not as much as I had hoped though. Anyway, we spent a lot of time downtown ironing things out, and decided to throw together a little post about the church. You've got the address, and you may have found the link to their website off of our website. But here are some pictures so you have a better idea of where we'll be at 6 pm on Aug 29th!

Here's what First Christian Church looks like on Greene St:


There's a small parking lot directly behind the church. I very strongly doubt that all of you wonderful guests will fit in the lot, but you can try. There's also street parking, and a parking deck not tooooo far away.

If you park in the lot behind the church, you'll come up to the front door of the church along this sidewalk and the pretty windows :) Come through the front door, not the back! Or you'll ruin the surprise :)

engagement party

This post is way overdue...my parents threw an Engagement Party for us back in March. It was a great time with family & friends and deeeelicious Filipino food. Mmm. My family decorated with pink & green lanterns and a huge arrangement of pink & white flowers for one of the tables. I will always remember the night because it absolutely downpoured all the way up to and through the party! I hope a deluge at the engagement party is good luck. Anyway, enjoy some pictures that Aunt Debbie took...

Holly (maid of honor) and Aunt Debbie

Holly & Shane

Mom, Dad & me

Ashley (bridesmaid) and her husband Chris

Jon (groomsman) & Ashley, also the back of Danny's head (another groomsman)

Meg (bridesmaid) & her husband Kyle, with a good friend of both Ryan & I, Tricia

the buffet - we had chicken adobo, lumpia (eggrolls), chicken pansit (kinda like stirfried angel hair noodles, veggies etc), barbeque pork on a stick, and rice. The catering was done by Ingrid & Myra of I & M Catering. They did an amazing job and were so easy to work with.

The cake! I love the rubber duckies topper - since I'm going to be a Duckworth in just 3 months! In the background is a frame with some of our favorite engagement pictures, and also pans full of the cutest pink & green sugar cookies, iced with all different patterns and cut into C's and R's. Holly is a very great baker!

I also really loved the lumpia. This is me going back after dessert.

I REALLY enjoyed the mango crepes. I think I had about 6 of them.
