We got ourselves a wedding....

I have so much to talk about since I haven't had time to really blog since our trip to South Carolina. First off We OFFICIALLY have a date!!!!! Wahoo!!!!!! I'm so excited!!!! It's Saturday, April 21, 2012. It's nice to really be able to tell people an actual date. 

Covered outdoor buffet 

One of the "tour guides"

Covered reception/wedding area 

The bandstand 

Indoor reception area 

So a little more about the venue. What can I say, it's absolutely beautiful! We will be having both the wedding and the reception there. There is a full caterer's kitchen, when I say full I mean FULL. My jaw dropped when I saw the kitchen area. It's huge with everything you would ever need. There is building that the girl's use to get ready (with our own private entrance). The boy's have their own Man Cave room to hang out in before the wedding. It even has a fully functional outhouse!!!! Don't worry it has indoor plumbing too! The options some many options for the actual wedding. Almost to many to decide between!!

I have more pictures but I having some issues loading them. I'll try to get those up later on. The place has endless options. It also has a vintage metal playground area, which makes me super excited! For photos that is, I would be kinda afraid to play on some of it lol. 

I also found our photographer! HOORAY! The 2 major things are secured with deposits. That makes me so less stressed!!! Anyway I met this guy at the Wedding Festival we went to. His booth was nothing fancy and it didn't need to be. His photos spoke for themselves. He's a really young guy that has the ability of a seasoned photographer. His name is Marshall and he seems like a goofy guy which is one of the things we wanted in a photographer.

I also got the dress. It was not the I originally posted about last blog but it is on my blog...somewhere. Mwahahaha!!! I'll tell you this much...It's pink and white. I know people everywhere (well at least the one's reading this are going...a pink dress?) My answer: have you seen my shoes? lol. It's a light pink but it stands out. It fits me and my personality to a T. I CANNOT WAIT to wear it! (Someone will have to remind me that when I start bitching about it after a few hours lol) I certainly CANNOT wait to see Ryan when he sees me for the first time. (I don't think I'm gonna make it through without crying lol) It makes me feel like pretty, pretty princess. 


I have been working on the brooch bouquets. My parents has been snagging them for me at the flea market. I picked up a few at the flea market when we were up there. But I have learned that I can pretty much make anything I want into a brooch. (This whole wedding thing has made me pretty crafty. And I LOVE it) Here is a trial run I started with what I have:
  

Well that's all for now. I ran out of patience for today...Blogger is being difficult. I'll post more soon!!!
