Where are the updates?

I should do a better job updating over here. Unfortunately there isn't a lot to update. Patrick and I have been looking at churches near Martindale. We've been talking about colors and flowers and all kinds of good stuff. But it's stuff that I want people to be surprised with!

I will say (perhaps I have said it before) that since it's a September 27th wedding and we both love the season, we're going with a fall theme. Traditional fall colors throughout the dresses, bouquets and decorations. I can't wait for a few months when all the fall stuff goes on clearance so I can stock up!

We're having a lot of fun planning, although at times it certainly is stressful. I think planning any event for 200 people would be difficult. I dream about the wedding every night. Usually about what I forgot to do (one dream was that I forgot to book a DJ), but last night I just dreamed about boutonnieres for the guys. Weird.

I'll try and do a better job of updating over here. I hope people are still reading!

It's official!

We've booked Martindale Country Club in Auburn for September 27, 2008!

When we met with them on Saturday we liked the location even more. I'm really excited about the location and I can't wait to go to our food tasting next spring to decide on the menu!

This makes it feel real. Now that we have a firm date and a location we can start looking for all the other vendors that are needed.

I think I'd like to be a wedding planner. This is so much fun!
