Hi Everyone! This is my first attempt at a blog and I'm not real sure where to start! Paul and I are currently planning our wedding, which will take place on May 23, 2009, so this will most likely be a wedding planning blog til then. As of today we have 102 days left! We've pretty much gotten everything planned out, just have to finalize a few things. We will be getting married at Paul's Brother and Sister-in-law's house. It will be an outdoor ceremony under a white tent with White, Pink and green paper lanterns hanging from the top of the tent. The backdrop for where we will be standing to say our vows will be a trifold iron screen that has 39 votive candle holders in it and a "waterfall" of flowers hanging from the top of the tent. The Bridesmaids' dresses are knee length chocolate brown with apple green sash and trim. The guys will be wearing Khaki suits. We will be using White, Pink and Orange Gerbera Daisies, White Hydrangeas and Green Button Mums for all the flowers. We have hired an awesome harpist, Melaney Jones out of Auburn, to play all of our ceremony music! I am so excited about that! My mom and I went and met with her last week and she played all the ceremony music I had picked and it was absolutely beautiful! For the reception we will be having Mini BBQ sandwiches, different kinds of dips with chips and crackers, a few kinds of fruit with cream cheese fruit dip and vegetables with ranch dip, cheese straws, white chocolate covered pecans, plain mixed nuts and maybe some chocolate chex mix. The groom's cake will be red velvet and a cheese cake. The Bride's cake will be one teir of vanilla pound cake with chocolate buttercream icing and two teirs of chocolate pound cake with chocolate buttercream icing. My bridesmaids are my two sisters, Tiffany and Taylor. Paul's groomsmen are his two brothers, Mike and Lark. Our Flower Girl will be my friend Tonya's beautiful daughter, Lennah and our Ring Bearer will be my adorable cousin, Clete. Lennah is 3 and Clete will be turning 3 on Sunday! They are going to be so adorable walking down the aisle together! Well, I guess that's it for now! I'm sure there will be more I will think of later! Everyone have a wonderful Monday!
