Happy 2010!

Now let's finish blogging about our wedding day :) Slowly but surely!

After the rehearsal dinner, we went out with our wedding party to one of our favorite places, the Bee's Knees. I took it easy because of the flu, and we girls headed back for a little slumber party fun at the Marriott. I'm not sure what the boys did, but I think they probably had a lot of fun at their golf cottage.

Then the morning of our BIG DAY arrived! I was up early with Holly and went back to my parents' house to put finishing touches on stuff.




Then we headed to Halo to get our hair & make-up done/bridesmaid luncheon. I have some funny pictures of my bridesmaids that I'm sure they do not want published to the world :) But I have a picture of me getting airbrushed and pictures of family & friends who came out to hang out with us.

July is here!

Yeah, so we haven't been the greatest about keeping this up to date. Sorry!

But, it is now July, which means we have less than 2 months to go til the BIG DAY! Ahhh we can't wait! I'm not sure about Ryan, but I have some exciting events coming up this month. My first dress fitting is this Friday, 7/10! I hope I can make it to Augusta in time. My company has an awesome thing called "summer Fridays" which means we can leave at 3pm if our work is tied up enough. So, hopefully, I'll be able to leave at 3 and make it just in time for my 5:30 appt. It's a little inconvenient because the seamstress only works Thur & Fri, and being in Atlanta certainly makes the alterations process harder. But, I'm really excited about putting my dress on again, and seeing what the seamstress has in mind for my dress.

Another exciting event coming up is my first bridal shower on 7/18. One of our dear family friends and the wife of our officiant, Joyce Reimer (or as I like to call her, Aunt Joyce), is hosting a brunch at her house. It will mostly be the women from my hometown church (where I've attended since I was 10 yrs old), but Aunt Joyce said all ladies are welcome to attend :) If you want more details, let me know!

After the shower, I'm going to Halo Salon for my hair & make-up consultation. We are renting out the upstairs area for the bridesmaids luncheon and having all the girls in my wedding party hair done, plus my hair & make-up. That will be a fun time :) I have some ideas for my hair, but I'm still not sure exactly what I want. Any suggestions?
