Yesterday Sarah came by and we dropped off the second installment of the deposit for the country club. It was set up for another wedding so we went and peeked. It looked GREAT. Seeing it set up like that made it a whole lot easier to visualize it being OUR reception. The tables were set, the placecard table was set, the guestbook was set, it was really nice to see how they set it all up.
My debate now is that I want my bridesmaids to wear black, but we need some color. I am not really sure how I feel about black with fall colors (gold/orange/red), but I don't know that I really want to do brown/bronze for the bridesmaids. I am now wrestling with all of that.
We went to Target and did some registering today. The gun they give you is very strange, and it kept ringing things up that we weren't registering for. Example: we were trying to register for towels and it registered us for Gerber Onesies, 3-6 mo. Uh, no. That's not coming for a while. I think we went a little gangbusters putting stuff (like towels) on there, but it's easy enough to change that stuff online.
Otherwise, same ol' same ol'. I am trying to hold off so as not to get too much planned. So far that strategy is working.

Monday, March 23, 2009 -- Michelle
Today, I discovered WE and all of the wedding shows on it. Really, I discovered it last night but Tivo hated me and wouldn't record them until I made Tivo and Comcast play nice. So now the shows begin. :)
Feel a little less stressed today about wedding stuff. Moved the ceremony time to 3, which makes me nervous if we want to take pictures downtown. Leaning more heavily toward the country club we looked at Saturday. Kind of just want to make a move. Was looking at pricing for hotels and venues up north, none really compare for what you get. Was told (well, Adam was) that we could bring a chocolate fountain in (score), so that helps. I am trying not to get caught up in the details, but there's so much to figure out.
Want to just move forward with the country club, book it, and figure out the food situation. Then, at least, I can finish the budget for the dress, cake, DJ, photographer, flowers, etc. Have my budget in mind, trying really hard to stick to it. If things go the way they SEEM to be going (cross your fingers here), we may be good. I see how it is SO easy to spend $20,000+ on a wedding now.
Talked to my parents (well my mom, who spoke for my dad) today about seeing the hall again before we book it. We may be going Saturday, though I am ready to go tomorrow and book the date. May call and see what we can do about reserving the date so it doesn't get taken out from us by Saturday. Stranger things have happened. If that happens, screw it, I will just go to Vegas.
The one thing I have decided I want is matchbooks. Seriously. I will order them once I am SURE black is our color for the wedding. I don't know, at least it'll be something ordered and I will feel accomplished.
