Engagement pictures

So today was SUCH a fun day! Jeremiah and I had our engagement photos taken. We met up with our photographer (Kerry Corcoran) at El Matador Beach in Malibu. It was so beautiful and we had the greatest time. Kerry made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and he really knew what he was doing. I'm confident that the pictures are going to come out better than we even expected! After the photo shoot Jer and I stayed at the beach and just walked around. Then we went to this little sushi place that was really yummy. It was just another great evening spent with the man of my dreams!

Pheeewww!

Well it has been a busy and HOTTTT past few days! Running around in 110 degree heat, buying my bridal jewelry (which I loooove!!) trying to find the perfect undergarments, buying my shoes, and things like that... It really wore me out!! I also need to find my veil. So I went down to the bridal shop where I bought my dress. I put on the sample dress they have in the store and started putting on veils. Luckily, I found one that I really liked. It looked beautiful with the dress! I said, "THIS is IT!! Ring it up!" As she wrote up the veil order and added up the total I almost passed out! This simple, white, piece of tulle with a few beads here and there was $260.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For a stinkin' VEIL!! I said "woah, woah, woah, woah, I don't think so..." And cancelled my order! I ended up going to the craft store and buying the tulle, the beads, and the headpiece to put it on, all for $18. Jeremiah's mommmy (who is a wizard with these crafty things) and I are going to make it ourselves! I looked up a few articles online about making veils and it's super simple... So I have confidence that it'll turn out great!

Today Jeremiah and I are searching for the toasting flutes and guest book, getting the cake cutter and server engraved, finding shirts to wear for our engagement pictures and finalizing the invitation wording. After all that we just have to order the cake, address and send out the invites, find the gifts for our attendants and parents and get Jeremiah's ring! So we're aaaalmost done!!
