It has been quite a while since I have updated you all on what is going on with the wedding planning. For the most exciting news, I GOT MY DRESS!!! YAYY! And I love it just as much. if not more than the day I first tried it on. I can hardly wait for you all to see it! Still working on the flower situation but it seems to be coming together.  I just need to start making decisions, and stop being a procrastinator!

Yesterday my wonderful mother, John and I met with Laura at Homosassa Riverside Resort regarding the ceremony and reception. One of the biggest decisions that was made was the food choices. The meal choices will be London Broil or Chicken Cordon Bleu. Children under 12 will be served a different meal that has not been completely confirmed but thinking it will be a Chicken Tenders meal. I need to ask a huge favor though, on the RSVP cards please respond with the number of "adults" as well as "children under 12". Adults can choose Beef or Chicken entree. I will need to know if your child under 12 will need a "Childs Meal" or not. I know a lot of our friends have infants that are not old enough to eat the food yet.

Now since we are on the RSVP topic, lets talk invitations. I have searched and searched for the perfect invitation and finally have some good prospects. I have some samples coming in the mail and am anxiously waiting for their arrival. Time is ticking and I have to get those things out so you can send them back in. Hmm I bet you are wondering now WHEN will you need to send the RSVP cards back?? As of right now its not completely official until it goes on paper but it looks like I am going to go with September 17th. This way it give me plenty of time to get the numbers and try to get ahold of the slackers who will forget to send them back in. But im warning you now, if you don't send in your RSVP and I have to hunt you down, you probably will not get a chair at the ceremony! Just kidding, well maybe I'm not, either way just send it in on time so I dont have to become Bridezilla.

Also I would like to remind you about our Honeymoon Registry. Since John and I have been together for quite some time, we have opted out on doing the ever so familiar WEDDING REGISTRY. That was so the 1990s thing to do. Nowadays we have the good ol world wide web. Please check out our HONEYMOON registry by clicking "Our Registry" in the top left corner of the page. The great thing about it is you can actually help us get the honeymoon of our dreams with your gift! Check it out.  I would hate to see you spend money on some sort of fancy bowl or restuarant gift card that probably will not get the use that you would like to see it get. Through my mothers travel agency we were able to upgrade our honeymoon to a different Sandals location in Jamaica. We are now going to spend several days and nights in the Montego Bay Sandals Resort. We are both getting EXTREMELY excited about it, maybe even more excited about that than the wedding. Just kidding!!  I can not wait to exchange vows with the man I get to spend the rest of my life with. Okay well I do believe that is all the updating that I have for you today. I hope you all are looking forward to October 25th as much I am. Talk to you soon!

I'm sure by now you are wondering where we will be having our ceremony/reception. Well after going to many, many places that we thought would be the one, we put a deposit down on the perfect place for us. Homosassa Riverside Resort (aka monkey island).  Once our biggest hurdle had been jumped by getting our site, things really started to fall into place! Not long after that we secured our DJ for the event, Travis Lamle, owner/operator of Elite Sounds out of Hernando County. He is awesome, just saying. And now for the most recent update, our Photographer. You probably have seen some of the remarkable photos she has taken. Christine Kozlik, owner/photographer of Dove Photography. She has a such a great personality and I can hardly wait to see all the images she captures on our big day!! Since we are, well procrastinators, we just got our Engagement Photos done yesterday (4-13-13) from the small amount of the pictures she showed us from her camera, I can hardly hold my excitement back from seeing ALL of the images, but we must wait 2 weeks. Well that is all for now, keep an eye out in the mail for your "Save The Date" in the coming week or so!
