Yay for Caroline!

Caroline went and tried on some of the dresses today and ordered one. Hers is in the platinum color so she didn't have to order them with the other ones, which made it a lot easier, since she is in Long Island. It's this dress below, in platinum! So pretty! I bet it looks amazing on her!Isobel picked out the dress she wants, she has the celadon color, it is this dress below. So pretty! Yay for picking out dresses.
8 more to go! Actually I know what dress Cassie wants, I just don't know the size, so 7.5 to go!

ok

ok so LarryLawrence thinks this dress isn't formal enough, maybe he is right, but I still love the dress and might have to buy it. Kristy if you want the web address : https://www.sweetgrassfibers.com/bargain.html

It's only $19.00 !!!!!

Lucky for me.

I now have the help of a wedding planner! YAY! She is great! and she is my age so she wont be suggesting I put doilies on the tables! YAY! The optimist was going to call our house to let us know if they could do it. Unfortunately we are not on the cape so maybe I should call them. If they can't do it we are back to square one! eek! I did get a call from a woman at Cape Cod Cakes that said she would make some cupcakes, I haven't told her that they will be egg/milk free yet. Jennifer (wedding planner/lifesaver) knows someone too, so if this lady doesn't work, there is another option possibly (if the other woman wants to do vegan cupcakes) (and Kristy is going to make some too I think so that will be awesome, since she is the best cupcake maker in the entire world) That's all we really care about as far as food type thing, being vegan.... Is getting married supposed to be stressful? I am happy to be here in WNC! It is so nice here and our house here is new and clean and nice. It is a change from the Cape house. Although I love that house, sometimes dealing with an old house can be a real challenge... Why are we not getting married here?

Flowers oh so prettyyyyyyy

Below is what I want in the center of every table! They are so pretty and simple and perfect!

Below is what either I want to carry or I want the bm's to carry. I think I still want the honorary bm's to each hand me one to make up my boquet, and when I get to the end i'll hand it to one and they can tie it!! how pretttttty! ps. I don't like the dresses they are wearing just the flowers!

I love this color below! So so pretty!! And this color too!

and growing....

Our numbers are growin...uh-oh. Maybe we should get our invites out sooner then later so we can see who actually can make it and who can't. Anyway there is a change in plans, we are now thinking 28 Strawberry? It is so pretty there and it would be different, not to mention that is where Lawrence and I first lived together, awwwwwww... :-) So it would be nice. Like Lawrence said, so many people have been married at 17 that it will just be "another wedding at 17" Time to mix it up a little!!! Now we just have to figure out what part of that yard is flat enough, sigh, so only a few hundred more things to figure out. Oh and we asked the Optimist Cafe to cater the wedding, they haven't called us back yet but we have our fingers crossed!! Why wouldn't they? It's like town advertising and we are paying for it!! Ok now back to my paper on perception......

Why do we have to serve Alcohol?

It's nice to have booze at social occasions(so they say), but it's really not necessary. I do believe that if a person can't go to a social event, talk to people, dance and enjoy thoroughly themselves without any alcohol being present, then that person has a drinking problem..... But maybe I just see that way because I don't drink :) I guess I don't mind having wine and beer for a short time but would anyone be offended if it was only served for a few hours?

ALAS!

We have a date! September 15, 2007. The Farmers Almanac says it will rain that day and be cold, so bring an unbrella and dress warm :-) We are in the process of securing a tent for 17 Strawberry. Tomorrow we are going to call The Casual Gormet and see if they can come up with any yummy L type food. So what's the next step? Finding a time (that seems easy enough), finding brides maid dresses and honorary bridesmaid dresses. My Maid of Honor is going to be Cassie, it makes sense and she is like my real sister, so I think it will be good, plus I trust her with anything... I have no clue who Larry Lawrence wants for a best man/ Usher, but I hope he comes up with someone soon! I will update more later... Byebye
