UPDATE!!!

The first wedding purchase has been made!!! Last night I bought 300 feet of ivory tulle and my garter! I bought it from ebay, so I got it at wholesale prices which was nice... Jer and I are all about the discounts! We've scheduled our appointment with the florist for next month. She did the flowers for my Matron of Honors wedding last August and our great friends Brett & Beca's in September, so I know she does great work. I'm uber excited about that! I think that besides my dress, amazing flowers are one think we won't scrimp on. They set the whole mood and are one of the most importants parts of the wedding day. I've always dreamed of lush, beautiful centerpieces and bouquets... So be prepared! There will be lots of flowers!!

We're currently looking for the wedding cake and hoping a few of our friends feel confident enough to make it!! Jer and I simply hate the idea of spending $300 on one cake!! No matter how pretty it is!!

Other than that we are just enjoying being engaged and having a good time planning. I can't wait for the day we could FINALLY just go to sleep and wake up together, where we share a home. But we are loving the process and eachother and are enjoying the time we have left. We aren't focusing too much on the countdown, cause we know it's going to fly by! But we're very very excited. Life is good. I haven't really gotten stressed out yet, but I'm told I definitely will. So in the meantime I'm just trying to have some fun with it!

Stay tuned...

Dresses, Dresses, DRESSES!!!

Okay, so I'm 99% positive about what wedding dress I'm choosing, which is pretty exciting!!! And I have a pic of the bridesmaids dress for everyone to see. It looks kind of brown in the pic, but it's really a deep wine color. My Maid of Honor and Matron of Honor will have light cappuccino colored sashes and the rest of my bridesmaids will have a darker chocolate brown sash. I think this dress is awesome. It's going to look great on my ladies!! What do you think??

Wedding Dress/Bridesmaids Dresses

So today was the big shopping day! My Mom, Grandma, Patrice (Bridesmaid), Jer's Mom and sister's (Alyce and Alexis, both bridesmaids) went and took on the daunting task of finding my dress!! I tried on a bunch of dresses and found a few I really liked. Although I don't know if I've found "the one" yet... But the good news is that I found the bridesmaids dresses!! My 3 girls that were with me really liked it and I thought it was awesome so that's that! Nice to have one thing out of the way!! Overall it was a very successful day. We all went to Chili's and had lunch, my Mom and Grandma got to know Jer's Mom and Sis' (it was the first time they'd met). And it was just hunky-dory! haha.

Venue

So the search is on! There are a few venues that we are deciding between. One of our favorites (J.P. Eliopolous Hellenic Center) is booked every Saturday from now until the end of November, so we'd have to have our wedding on a Friday evening... I'm not sure how to feel about it though. I really like this place. It's beautiful and exactly the type of elegance I envisioned for my wedding day... But I don't want it to inconvenience our guests... Ahhh, decisions, decisions... Here are some pics. Let me know what you think!!!






XOXO,
Cheryl & Jeremiah

WELCOME!!

Hello all! So I decided that the webpage I created on theknot.com wasn't going to suffice. Thats why Jer and I decided to start another one here! This way you'll be able to check in on the progress of our wedding plans, see recent pics and know "insider information" haha. Check back often as I'll update on a weekly basis... Hope you're all doing great! We love you!
