The Invitations

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

Invitations for a wedding need to be sent out about two months before the wedding. That said, I want to start making/designing/ordering them now. Justin wants them to be unique, something out of the ordinary. I say NO to ideas such as sending out our invites on discs. To all of you thinking, “Doesn’t she understand who she is marrying?” Yes I do, but I want our invitations to be more traditional. I am fine with a modern look to them, but making them very unusual is out of the question. So I am asking all of you readers what kind of invitation do you think would make both Justin and I thrilled?

P.S. If you think that you are creepy because you are reading our site, please don’t. We are both thrilled to have you looking at it and sharing in this planning experience with us! We love you!

A Busy Time of Life

Monday, August 27th, 2007

It is a great thing that our wedding is just a bit under a year away! Justin and I are so busy right now. He is getting MSA ready for school to start and working for his other clients.

I have just started my fourth year of college, but I will have an extra year before I finish.  I am majoring in Lutheran Classroom teacher-social studies.  I hope to be teaching in an LCMS high school in two years, God willing.

So since we are so busy, we are not making much progress on anything wedding related!

I do have my dress ordered, which will arrive in October.  I am so excited about that!  When I went to Germany this past May, I was on the airplane looking over a wedding magazine and I found my dream dress.  I just cannot wait to actually try it on!

My bridesmaids and I have also picked out their dresses.  It is early, but we all won’t be in the same state until maybe a day in January, and then in June.  We have not ordered them, but we picked out the colors.  Which makes our official wedding colors are cranberry and ivory.

We will try to keep you all updated on our planning and news.  Please comment on our posts and keep checking back!
