Wedding Plans Update

Well it has been a while since I blogged last. We have had so many things going on. . .We are so excited about our upcoming wedding. There has been a lot of planning going on in our house.
We have finally picked out Breanna's shirt and the rest of the wedding colors will be planned around that. I had colors in my mind that I liked together so I am so glad my mom found a great shirt in Branson that fits into the plan perfectly. Breanna looks beautiful in the shirt and it fits so nicely. We have had a lot of issues with things fitting. Breanna's capri's didn't work out. Christian can barely breath in the shorts we got for the wedding which are 2 sizes bigger than what he has been wearing. And to top it off Scott's ring that I bought 2 years ago was a little too snug and had to be sized. Thank goodness it took them less than a week to fix the ring size. I hope my trip to Branson this weekend will get the rest of the clothing taken care of. Poor Scott has nothing to wear.

Scott had told me he didn't care much about the details of the wedding. All he said was that he wanted it short and to the point with "I DO" and that's it. So I worked for several weeks every night and picked out music that I liked. I ran it by him and he didn't say he didn't like it so then I ran it by my mom who thought it sounded great. I was ready for Scott to burn a CD just to find out he didn't like it at all. So. . .now I'm back to square one listening to songs over and over. The sad part is I still love melodies I had picked. I don't want all country. I don't know why because I love country music. I just wanted something softer easy listening.

Kim (Scott's Sister) took our engagement photos this past Thursday. I am so excited about them and can't wait to see them. I have been patiently waiting which is so hard for me. Pictures is the one area I usually go crazy. Scott wasn't completely excited about the shoot but I know Kim does excellent work and they will be perfect.

There is still so much to do and it's now less than 2 months till the big day. I still have to order flowers and the cake, pick out clothes for everyone, find music Scott can live with, print and mail invitations. I know why people pay someone to handle all of the details for them. It is more work than you think it will be even when you are trying to keep everything simple. I don't exactly know what our budget is but I am trying to save money where I can and we still haven't bought any decorations at full price. My latest finds was a wedding sale at Hobby Lobby where everything was 50% off and I got candles at Hallmark for 70% off. I was going to take a photo to show everyone my great finds but Scott thinks I'm weird for doing stuff like that.
