The Invitations are in the MAIL!!!

Wow! We seriously cannot believe the wedding invitations have been mailed! It has been a long time coming and I am so grateful that I got to help my mom and dad stuff and stamp the invites! They are absolutely stunning and just what I wanted! I hope everyone loves them as much as I do! The calligraphy was a fun selection and it was executed really well- with hardly any issues!  It's like the night before Christmas when you have butterflies in your stomach! I am just so thrilled that everyone will be getting a special treat in their mail boxes!



Looking rough- I know, it was about 11pm!



Wedding Shoes

My mother is pure genius! We have been on the hunt for wedding shoes of a particular height since day 1 when I got engaged.  I don't like to wear high heels for extended periods of time, and I also am adamantly against being the same height as Kevin.  I really like my head tucking under his chin. 

So Mom knew the task, and she was in Nordstrom all of 5 minutes when she spotted the perfect wedding shoes!  She bought them in silver first as the ivory weren't available yet.  I took the silver one's to my first dress fitting so that I could judge the height and then the ivory one's appeared on my doorstep in no time!

I am so excited and cannot wait to wear these on the wedding day!

Augusta Bridal Shower!

The lovely hostesses!

What sweet women Mrs. Dale and Mrs. Vicky are to have thrown such a lovely wedding shower for me!  These ladies above are dear friends of Mrs. Golden's and absolutely outdid themselves on a gorgeous bridal shower for me at Abilene Baptist Church!  They really hit the nail on the head with delicious treats including petit fours and cucumber sandwiches.  They did gorgeous flowers and gave me a corsage for my dress.  It was so great to meet and see all the Augusta crew that will be at the wedding!  I got so many wonderful kitchen items off our registry as well!

So much fun! It was a really special weekend in Augusta!

Cake Tasting!

Cake Tasting at Cherokee Town Club- January 27th, 2012

Cake Tasting was perhaps the most fun event of the wedding planning process thus far! It is no secret that this girl LOVES cake! I could eat cake every single day!

So the way it worked was that we got to select (5) different options of cake variations and taste them all! We had our cake tasting on January 27th and it was quite a whirlwind! We ate cake, and ate more cake and more cake! Mom came along to help be our tie breaker in the event of that situation.  Thankfully, we all came to the same conclusion and are overjoyed with our selection!  Sarah Ogle, our wedding coordinator at the club was super sweet and brought each of us a rectangular tray of cakes to taste.  We really loved all of them, but there was a true standout.  Funny thing is- the combination we decided on was not one of the pre-selected options we asked to taste...we did some mixing and matching and came up with a delicious treat!
