So I know it's been a while since I updated this blog, but I've had a lot of other stuff get in the way of wedding planning. I was just going through some stuff and had to put the wedding on the back burner....
But things are turning around and I'm ready to jump back in the game again : )
Some updates:
I got most of the save the dates sent, just a few stragglers that I'm STILL trying to get addresses for. I never knew how difficult that would be and I can see why people send e-vites for events now... (not that I would ever do that for a wedding, but still...)
I reserved a block of rooms at one hotel and I'm trying to decide if/which other one I want to reserve to give some variety. There aren't a whole lot of options because the venue is south Austin and there aren't that many hotels that are really close. Either way the info is/will be on our website http://nikkiandsam.brides.com
Our website is totally up to date and now has an album of some more of my favorite engagement pictures (the whole album is on facebook)! We had so much fun that day and I think it really showed! Thank you so much Rachel for doing such a great job for us- we really appreciate it!!!!!!
I asked a friend today to do the video for the wedding, so that's covered. I'm really excited to see what he's going to do. Thanks Iggi!!
I think we're also going to go with a friend to officiate the ceremony, since neither of us are really religious and we don't really want someone random up there with us. I think it's going to mean so much more to us this way. : )
Most importantly--- I found THE DRESS!!! It's beautiful and dramatic and I'm so happy to have finally found the right one!! I still didn't cry or anything, but just had this really peaceful feeling and I knew it was the right one for me. It's a Maggie Sotterro gown from her 2011 collection and I ordered it in alabaster (where do they come up with these color names???). Now we just need to look for bridesmaid dresses to coordinate! and hopefully we'll be able to do that in the month or so.
Things are starting to fall into place and we're checking things off the list! Hopefully I'll have another update about a cake, flowers, or bridesmaid dresses soon!!
