Thoughts of a bride...
A Friday Wedding
As the days go by, I am starting to grow fonder and fonder of the fact that our wedding is on a Friday. I get a lot of strange looks and questions about why we chose a Friday. Well, here's the story. My sister Alexandra got married on Friday August 8. My Mom and Dad got married on Friday November 19. My Grandma and Grandpa got married on Friday October 15. I discovered all of this (well, except for Alexandra's wedding) while I was researching wedding things. I guess it's...
Interesting...
I found these random and interesting facts on a random web search and thought I would share. Enjoy! * In 2000, the average bride was 24 years old and the average groom was 28. * The average engagement period is 16 months, which is up from 11 months in 1990. * 74% of all brides receive a diamond engagement ring.

Cakes!
The wedding plans are coming together nicely. We have everything booked as far as vendors. Well....almost everything. We still need to get a baker for our cake. But I think I'll get the bakery at Food Pride in Stanely to do it. I really would like to have a bakery in Minot do it, but none of them will deliever outside of Minot, and I don't want the stress of having to bring it myself. That would be fun. Not. Now all I have to do is decide on a style of...
Shoes!!
I've always liked the idea of colored shoes with a white wedding dress. It's a fun and unexpected thing to do, but totally my personality. Now, for the struggle of finding the right pair. I'm very picky about what type of shoe I can wear. I can't wear heels very well, unless it has a ankle strap. And I'm not talking about just a single strap behind the heel. It must have a strap that goes around the whole ankle. The reason I can't wear a normal heel strap is because I have a...

Confessions of an obsessed bride...

10. To the chagrin of your friends and family around you; your wedding is all that you can talk about. At dinner. At the gym. At your office. At Target. At your yearly check-up. In your sleep.
9. You download a count down clock that tells you the months, weeks, days, hours, and minutes until your wedding. Because you are that cute.
8. You quickly have run...

Wedding Date...
Jon and I just had our first meeting with Pastor J on Monday. Overall, the meeting went well. We discussed our meaning of marriage, had private discussion one on one, then we took this "prepare" evaluation test, hope we passed it. Well, then we started talking about the date: June 20, 2009. Pastor said that he has to attend the annual conference and its June 17, 18 and 19th in Fergus Falls. I said we could have the rehearsal early, like the 12th, then have...
