I am back in Milledgeville and have started my last semester at GCSU! Now that I am back in classes and working again I have slowed down a little on the wedding planning. I really can't afford to slow down a whole lot because the wedding is getting here VERY QUICKLY!!! I finished sending all the save-the-dates (finally) today! I had a lot to send out because I just recently got all the addresses over Christmas break and I just now got a chance to finish addressing them. This weekend John Hoyt and I got so much accomplished! We picked out a song for the pre-ceremony (to be sung by Heather Lawson and Randy Holmes) and asked both of them. We also picked out a song to walk back up the aisle which is a HUGE accomplishment because we've been searching for months.
We went and picked out the tuxes for all the guys. I also did a lot of shopping with Jackie. I got 4 dresses for showers that I can't wait to wear! Our first shower is the first weekend in February so they're coming up quickly too. I'm still searching for the perfect going-away dress. I found one that was perfect but it was SUPER expensive and I just couldn't bring myself to pay for it. Maybe if I save up enough money I will swing it, but as of right now, it's not happening. Christa met me at Wal-Mart to help me pick out fabric for the flower girl dresses. She's going to make them and they are going to be adorable! John Hoyt and I also met with the owners of the Braselton-Stover House to set some wedding details and to get some advice about some decisions we have to make. While we were there, Mary told us that there was going to be a bridal show at the house on Sunday and that we should come by for a cake tasting with one of the vendors. We went and while we were there we went by our florist's table to say hi and signed up for a drawing to win $100 off our flowers. I got a call later that night that we won the drawing!!!! We were so excited about that!! While we were shopping for fabric, Christa also told me about an amazing cake baker that she knows and showed me some pictures of her cakes. I loved them and I am currently in the process of talking to the lady to get an estimate.
Jackie and I took Savannah (the flower girl) to Claire's to choose a tiara for the wedding. She loves "princess crowns" and I thought that would be a perfect little present if she walks down the aisle. We spoiled her rotten and had a great time doing it! We bought her the crown and candy and let her ride the carousel at the mall. Then we took her to Zaxby's for lunch (where she chose). It was so much fun because she was so excited to be there! I am still searching for the perfect gift for Ethan (the ring bearer) but we will have to take him when I come up with it and spoil him rotten too ;) It's been very fun and it feels so good getting all this stuff done!
