Another check on my To-Do list!

Hey everyone! Haha wedding plans have been so crazy now that its so close, so quite a bit of time has passed yet again since my last post. Ok so since i last wrote, i have been able to tick a bunch more stuff off my to-do list. I compiled a list of everyone we were inviting, and then picked up all the invites. I have gotten them all addressed and sent, which is so great to have done! I also went with Nick on Oct. 19 ( the day my bff got home from her mission in Chile!) and we got our marriage license. I also finally got my endowment session scheduled and found a date for my ward bridal shower. : ) 
Around the 2rd week in Oct. i had my bridal picture session, which went great! There are so many amazing pics to choose from to show at the reception! Haha not sure how i can narrow it down! (Though i am actually working on doing just that this week and need to have the list to the photographer by this weekend.) Oh i also finished getting all the pics of me and Nick for the montage as well as selecting the music that i want to go with it, as well as getting it delivered to Pete (my photographer). I have ordered all my flowers as well (which are going to look so amazing, and got the menu for the reception all ordered as well.
Also, i got all the bridesmaid dresses altered, including Sadie's, though she didn't get home til the 19. The lady did an amazing job and was so fast, which is great because then i didn't worry about getting them in time. Haha the only thing i'm really worried about now, is if i took to long in finally ordering the photo sign in book and if it can be done and shipped in just 2 weeks...Hopefully it can or there is someway to rush order it. Either way, i definitely need to get that done asap! I also still need to decide on all the music i want for the half hour of dancing. Not to worried about that though cause it only takes like 5 min to make a wedding play-list and load it on an ipod. So thats what ive accomplished in oct. I will try if i can to update again before the wedding to let you all know how everything came together! : D

More wedding stuff accomplished!

 Ok so since i last posted, a few more big things have been done. First, we finally got the little flower girl dresses picked and ordered and everything. I have two flower girls; my friend Jessica's little girl Phoebe, who is almost 2 and then my soon-to-be little niece Kylie, who is 7. We all met (me, my mom, Kylie, her mom Stacey, Jessica, and Phoebe) at David's Bridal at noon on a Saturday to have the girls try on the dresses i had seen when at Davids another time. They are ivory to match my dress, silk on the top half with a silk slip as the bottom layer, with about 3 or 4 layers of gauzy material on top of that. It makes them very poofy and remind be of ballet tutus, but not quite THAT poofy. I think they are super aborable! They are also going to have black sashes around their waists that end in a big bow on the back, as well as be wearing black shoes. Kylie will also get to wear a tiara and Phoebe will have cute black flowery clips in her hair, because she is to young for a tiara. I am so excited to see the girls in everything on my wedding day! They will be so stinking cute! : D I am really sorry, but i totally spaced on taking pics as they tried them on. That will have to wait til i pick them up.
 I have also finally begun to get my count of how many people i think we are going to be inviting and getting address from everyone. Haha i know its a teeny bit late in the game since they are suppose to be sent out next week since you send invites out about a month before the wedding. I have no idea where all my time suddenly went! lol. My mom and i also finally got the invitation ordered today as well. haha... Lucky in the digital age, they can get them all printed and ready in like 4-6 days, so we should be fine. Definitley cutting it close, i know, but we will make it! I am so excited to get the invitations, because i love the design we picked and the pictures we chose, and can't wait to see how it all comes together!
 I have also had a few showers as well, both of which were so great! I got some amazing gifts that will definitely come in handy in Nick and I's new life together. I also have finally found a date that works for my ward's bridal shower and am finally going this thurs with Nick to pick out what wedding ring he would like. I am super excited for that! : ) And, i finally made an appointment with Heritage Gardens to come finalize my menu, as well as getting my Bridesmaid dresses in last week. I am super lucky because 2 won't even need any alteration, which is really great! Haha so ya, that is all the wedding stuff that has been going on since i last wrote! I will blog again once i get more things ticked off my To-Do list! :)
