this whole blogging every day didn't go as planned... stupid busy life! lol let me recap the last 4 months...
church... booked
date... set
social hall... booked
reception hall... booked
wedding dress...BOUGHT!
thing's left to do...
-finish up social prizes
-make invitations (what am I thinking??? lol)
(thanks to Laura for doing the reply cards... she's as insane as I am!!!)
-decide on decorations (pretty sure i have decided but I have two options to pick from so it's pretty much there!)
-Bridesmaid dresses (just waiting on baby Mallally to show up so that we can go try on the one I want... don't worry I still have an open mind about others but I LOVE the one I want!)
-little thing's here and there...
the main thing not done is for the fiance to ask the men/boys he wants to be in the wedding... hopefully this weekend! if not i may have to do it!
so the dish on the dress... Laura and I went to Fargo for the day due to a commercial she saw from David's bridal about every dress on sale... sounded like a good reason to cross the border to me! lol We get to David's bridal just before 4 and are told there is only one appointment left for the day at 5:30... SOLD! so for an hour and a half we looked thru the wedding dresses for ones for me to try on (the list was at 10) and then it was her turn to try on bridesmaid's dresses... she tried on at least 10.... some great some so not great... it was the last one that we both fell in love with ( and at that moment my colours went from nice fall green to latte and champagne... it just sounds so elegant!). Next it was my turn to try on dresses. The first dress I tried on was so bad that Laura wouldn't even let me out of the room to look in a mirror... that is when it was decided no strapless... it was the second dress I tried that I fell in love with and decided on. To be fair to the 3rd dress hanging outside my room I tried it also... it was quite beautiful with lots of detail and a long train but it wasn't that second dress... it was the colour I wanted and luckily my dress also came in the ivory as I am not a white colour wearing person! I bought it that day and can't wait until April until it comes in and I can try it on again... gotta say this princess thing is awesome! and the price was crazy good!
ok so i will be back soon with more updates! no i swear! lol

One year today
So, needless to say that the snow today was not a funny joke by mother nature! Hopefully if its not so nice this weekend this year it will be beautiful next year on this day!
So it's officially one year today for my wedding! I am so excited and very happy that some of the major thing's are done. People are pretty amazed that I have the social hall booked, the church done, reception hall is reserved and photographer booked... I am telling you, all major stuff done by January 31st is my goal and it's looking good. Next is making the wedding invitations and reply cards!
Of course the highlight of the whole planning process is still not done.... The DRESS! That will be so much fun! Ok welll as long as I get what I want, and I not someone better watch out! Lol but I am sure I will find something I love! But I won't stop until I find what I want! Retailers beware... I am on a mission!

Things are going good...
So, in the past week I have got the following done:
Social hall- Dakota Community Club May 1st
Church- Faith Luthern on Dakota
Reception Hall- Caboto Centre on Wilkes
Photographer
Is it suppose to be this easy? I will be ordering paper in the next month I hope and maiking the invitations, reply cards, place cards and the church program. I should probably do all thank you cards at the same time so its all done for me later.
With our photographer we get an engagement picture session so I am super excited. I love our photographers work. She does great work... The pictures are beautiful, creative and unique.
I can't wait for the rest of the year, as its all so exciting and fun. I love planning stuff and making what I want come to life!

the first entry
So I decided today to start blogging the year leading up to my wedding... I am sure many thing's will happen in the next year that will be funny, sweet, frustrating and just plain fun! I figure why not keep a journal of it so I can look back and see the whole process years down the line!
Kelly and I got engaged on Sept 7th, 2009 at our house in Morris. Maybe I should have known something was up when he decided to make me breakfast in bed (which included him instucting me to get back into bed when I had to go to the washroom... lol). After we finished eating, he made me pancakes and he also made bacon but I am not a big fan of that, he said he left the oven on and went out the kitchen and came back with a ring box in his pj pocket. I could tell he was a little nervous as he got on one knee and kinda fumbled when he opened the box... of course I said yes... and I LOVE my ring!
Kelly's only imput on when to have the wedding was the fall... so I came up with Oct 9th, 2010. The long weekend is a great time for people to come in from out of town and the trees should be beautiful then for pictures. I have decided I will have the perfect wedding... one way or another! lol and anyone who knows me will know that my controlness will come out on this! good thing my maid of honour is exactly like me! lol
I will try to blog everyday, even if it's just to put down ideas, except while in Vegas next month!
talk to you soon
