And the count down begins....

It's official. We have EXACTLY 1 year unitl the wedding. Time to get cracking.


Ive actually made a bit of progress since my last posting. Ive purchased my flower girl basket as well as a clip on tie I can take apart to make a pattern for little Darrold. We've (or rather I've) been working on a list of songs for the reception and ceremony. We've decided on our first dance song and also the song I will be walking down the isle to :-)


We've also semi decided on centerpieces. We purchased some supplies to make a "prototype" (Richard thinks its sexy when I say that-hahaha). Im thinking we are going to need larger bowls but we will see. Here's a preview.


As you can see, its a bit crowded but its pretty. Black river rock at the bottom. One fabric lilly in the center with 3 fabric orchids surrounding and a floating candle.

But now for the important part- where am I at on my budget??
Decorations/Other: 47.82
Clothing/Jewelry/Etc: 251.43
Invites/Favors: 63.97

TOTAL: 363.22

:-) Not too shabby if I say so myself.

More updates soon- we should be getting pre-qualified for a home sometime next week!
