So much to do, so little time

Well, I haven't written anything for awhile, but that doesn't mean things haven't been happening!
Let's see, where to start...

The ladies at Quaker Avenue Church of Christ put on a wonderful shower for us! There was an AWESOME turnout and we had a lot of fun! It was amazing seeing how generous everyone was and the presents hardly fit in my apartment.. not that I'm complaining ;) My mom and sister Brittany got to come, so that was neat too.

We had a little setback with the invitations, but I think Kyle got it all taken care of. Those should be done and printed by next week at the latest.

Registered for tuxes, working on the music, and getting lots of little stuff taken care of!
That's all for now :)

Kyle's First Blog

Hello internet world.

If you've been following our blog, you might have noticed that it seems to be mostly Brenna writing everything on here and that I have seemingly remained strangely absent from the whole wedding planning process. That time is no more.

I actually have been doing a little to help, not as much as Brenna of course, but I have had a few jobs. I was put in charge of the music, and I'm proud to say that we've just about got that finalized. I had her help of course. Also, one thing I worked on a lot lately were our invitations. We decided it would be cheaper if I designed them instead of having someone else do it. So, Brenna found some that she liked and I basically tried to duplicate them. They turned out not too shabby if I do say so myself. It took me a while though.

Another thing I'm in charge of is the honeymoon, which by the way is completely planned and paid for, with help from my parents that is. Quite a bit actually. Everything about the honeymoon is going to be a surprise for Brenna. Cute, I know. She often thinks she's really clever about thinking of ways to get me to tell her what we're doing, but so far, she hasn't outsmarted me. So for now, all I can say about our honeymoon is that we're leaving on June _____ and traveling to ______. From there we'll _______ the _______ ___ _______. But, the ______ with all the _______ will definitely be ________. I can't believe the ________ will turn ______  while ______ with running_______ __! Then we'll ______ back to ______ just in time to _________ for the _____ ___. Pretty fun, huh?

K that's all. Brenna probably won't let me post anything else on here, so I hope you like this one.

Bye.

Photography...

We booked a really awesome photographer for the wedding! I really like her stuff I have seen, and her dad works with my parents so I know she is honest. But there is one little thing that I'm not too excited about...
She requires Kyle and me to have a photoshoot the day before the wedding; dress, tux, hair, makeup, the whole bit.
It's not so much that we don't want to see eachother all dressed up before the wedding (we don't really, but we could deal with it). It's mostly just the fact that we have to get all dressed up and completely ready TWO different times. And just one day apart at that.
Uhhhghg.. don't know what to do. We would really like the pictures and I know we wouldn't regret having done it... but it's just something that's going to be a big pain. And it's something she requires.

Thoughts anyone??

Also, here's a picture of my beautiful ring :-)

Spring Break Madness

Since I'm home in Farmington for the week (and it's the last time I'll be back before Graduation) I have lots to do! My purse was stolen a few weeks ago in Houston... so sadly I've been having to juggle getting those things taken care of, and have spent a little less time on wedding things than I wanted.

Some things I've gotten done so far:
-Found and bought all the bridesmaid shoes
-Made an appointment with Diane Thursday morning for cake stuff
-Found a few odds and ends for our homemade wedding invites
-Bought 6 or 7 large glass containers for the candy bar! (we still need a few more if anyone would like to make a donation/loan)

Things I need to do before I leave:
-Finalize the flower/pew end/ centerpiece colors
-Meet with Diane
-Register for china/bedding/other boring/nice things at Dillards with my Mom's help
-Finalize numbers and addresses for my side of the guest list

So excited for the wedding... so ready for all this to be taken care of.   :-)

Bridesmaids and Groomsmen

Colors and Shoes

We don't have a particular color for the wedding, but are just going for a summery feel. These are a few bouquets I like..

And here are the shoes I bought yesterday! They are much prettier in person.

We are still toying with the idea of a candy bar, but don't have many ideas for it yet. 

Kyle decided to make our invitations himself. They will be cheaper and he can do them just as good as anyone else anyway. We haven't decided yet whether to make the response cards traditionally or as postcards. Any ideas or input would be appreciated :)

Here's the exact dress the bridesmaids are going to wear.

The only difference is that she's not one of the bridesmaids (Kyle's joke)

First Blog!

The wedding is coming up so fast, so I thought we needed a place to organize some ideas and to keep all our family and friends in the loop!
So far the things we've done:

1. Booked the ceremony and reception venues
2. Found a DJ
3. Bought my dress!! :)
4. Bought bridesmaid dresses
5. Booked a photographer
6. Aubry's mom is making our cake!
7. Kind of decided on Kyle's tux
8. Started working on the invitations

I'm sure I'm forgetting lots of things, but that'll catch you up on a little.
And any tips or suggestions are greatly appreciated :)
That's all for now
