Married!!

Wedding was fabulous!!! Super fabulous!

Pictures are here.

Yay!!!

Now off to dinner with my hubby!

WEDDING DAY

Wedding is in about 15 and a half hours. So exciting. The rehearsal was fun. Went pretty well....brought me back to having my prom pictures taken at Public Gardens....although it wasn't really nostalgia. It was more due to the fact that a million high school kids were there getting their prom pictures taken. Crazy. We had to wait until they were all done taking pictures under the arbor. It was crazy. But they were all very pretty. So sweet! Until it was annoying.

Ugh. So we got started a little later. But it was good and there was a good flow. And after Gracie went down the isle as flower girl she made a new friend. It was fun to wait her and Marcelle running across the grounds. :)

It was a good night. And tomorrow should be a good day. :) Full of spa dates and cupcakes. :)

OMG

Ok, so the wedding is in 6 days and I took some pictures into work for scanning today. You know, for wedding stuff. :) Anyway I was just looking at this and thinking how super cute we are.

We may be a little drunk but frig...don't you miss being 22 and having great skin? No wrinkles or dark circles!

Oh yeah, this was our first Halloween together. I'm an angel and he's a lumberjack. And we're totally cute. And I stole his beard.

DIY crunch time

Eeep. Wedding is in 7 days. I'm all about avoiding DIY projects at the moment. So while I'm avoiding printing out pictures of Chris and myself I found this gem. And I had to post it.

XOXO babe.

9 Days

Eep! 9 days until the wedding. Lots of stuff to look forward to. A party, a vacation, a honeymoon. So excited about the honeymoon. We're touring around Nova Scotia and doing a bunch of stuff we've never done before. And going to the Halifax market at it's Keith Brewery location for the last time before it moves. All very exciting. :) Yay!!!

But the wedding favours that I bought months ago and was so excited about have yet to ship out. I'm actually stressed about it. Which is so funny because I bought them in March. And I picked them out well before I ever got engaged. And now with 7 business days left before the wedding I'm annoyed and stressed. What does a person do if they're wedding favours don't turn up in time for the wedding? Will I have 80 little trinkets just hanging out at my house? Does one deliver them after the wedding? Do I have to pick up something else? Hmmmm..... any suggestions?

Count down

The wedding is 2 weeks from yesterday. Eep. I wrote myself a list of things that still need to be done. It's an entire page. I feel like I'm cramming for an exam, except I can't spend the night before doing all the work. Well, I could. But ugh...I bet that would take all the fun out of it.

On Saturday I met with my cupcake lady. She's fabulous. When I got to her home I was treating to a viewing of two orders waiting for pick up. Blue football cupcakes for a little boy and some fabulous pink ones for a one year old girls. Nate needs cupcakes for his first birthday. And maybe we can order them for every other upcoming occasion? Mmmm....yum.

Also we met with our photographer on Monday night at Snooty Fox. All meetings should take place where they are drinks and nachos. Although Chris had to keep directing the conversation back to the wedding pictures. Julie and I wanted to gossip instead. Oh well. Looks like we'll be meeting at my parents at 12:30. Hope I'm all pretty by then. And then we'll head uptown for some fun lets-make-a -spectacle kind of shots. :)

Looks like in 12 days we'll be all set for a wedding. Woohoo!

Location!!

On Sunday evening at 8 whatever pm Chris and I went to check out the park. I think it was the first time we've been there together since picking it for our wedding. We needed to decide where the ceremony will be taking place.

There are tons of good options: Under a big tree, in front of a big garden (where I had my prom pics taken), or the obvious choice to get married in front of the arbor. We picked the arbor. Not because people are supposed to get married under an arbor, but because there is a grassy knoll across from it. We figure we can lay out picnic blankets on the knoll and the younger generation can sit there. And hopefully a couple of strong men can haul the concrete benches over from around the park.

I wonder if it will work out as planned. This wedding keeps getting fancier and fancier so I'm not sure how the picnic blanket idea is going to go over.... but it will be a fun attempt.
