5 months to go...

Well, it's been a little while since I have posted an update. A lot has changed! Where do I even begin??

We thought we had an officiant picked out. We filled out our form and e-mailed it to her and even set up a time to meet. The day before we were to meet, I e-mailed her to confirm and she NEVER got back to me. She even chose the location and time. It has been severan weeks and still nothing. I can't believe that is how some people conduct their business!!

So, we went on the hunt for another officiant. We found a gentleman that does dozens of weddings a year and has been doing it for years. We loved his sample ceremony. It was put together so nicely! So, we asked if he could join us for the rehearsal as well as wedding (of course!) and he said he would definitely do it! FINALLY!!!

We purchased our wedding bands!! I am so excited for them to come in. Mine is the matching band for my engagement ring. It took more time for Nathan to find his. He has never worn a ring so, he may have some trouble getting used to it :) I do love the one he chose. It's very "him".

We went to David's Bridal this past weekend and picked out the Flower Girl's dress which I absolutely adore! She looked so cute in it. It was perfect! It's long, white and poofy with sparkles! Adorable! Shannon has also been added to our wedding party since someone else left (for reasons I won't discuss! :)). It was for the best and we could not be happier to have Shannon! The perfect choice and wish it had been like this from the beginning!

This weekend I am rounding up the guys to go get fitted for their tuxes. I hope all goes smoothly and we can get in and out of their without any problems. (not from the guys but from people who work there!) I am bringing my Matron of Honor along to help me since this is the first time for me. :)

Also, I wish everyone wrote me back within a few hours of me writing them. I HATE waiting days for a response. It bothers me...
