On Friday, Chase had a wonderful football game. He played so well (both ways) and it was by far the most fun game so far this season! Josh and I met up with Jamie and Chad after the game. It was really nice to see them (especially Jamie) since I haven't seen her in a long time. Saturday brought homework time (oh yeah, I AM still in school) and more time with friends. Kindie and Ben and Andrew Harkins joined Josh and I for dinner. Jamie and Chad met up with us after dinner and Ian joined later. It was a fun night.
First dress. Didn't love it, but looking back it was cuter than I remembered.
Love the back of this one.
I like this dress, but the top isn't quite what I'm looking for. I want more of a sweetheart.
This was my favorite dress of the day. Almost exactly what I was looking for (minus the short skirt underneath that was all bunched up because it didn't fit)
I really liked the top of this one, but wasn't a fan of the skirt.
Here are some of the others that I tried on:
This was a little too crazy for me and I'm not sure how I feel about it being so form-fitting.
Nancy's favorite dress of the day. I am cranky because I told consultant Nancy that I wanted black bridesmaid dresses and she kept tying black things on me. Again, not sure how I feel about such a form fitting dress.
After dress shopping, we went reception site shopping. We first went to Stonebrooke Golf Club in Shakopee and it was a huge disappointment. Here are some pics I found online, but let me tell you it is not at all as impressive in person. When you first walk in, you have to basically walk through the Pro Shop and the whole place is very small and open. The restaurant (which is pretty much in the reception hall) stay open during your event. Josh was really funny at this one because he was trying so hard to stay positive but it was obvious he hated it the whole time.
After we visited here, we decided we needed to look at a few more places to make our trip down worthwhile. We went over to Brackett's Crossing Country Club because it had a few dates that would potentially work for us. It was love at first sight for all of us. SO beautiful. We are calling this place today to see if we can put it on hold until we can meet with their people to work out the details. These pictures do not do it justice, absolutely gorgeous.
Another potential place that we visited is Legends Golf Club in Prior Lake. We haven't checked on availability on this place yet, but something to consider.
I think that's all for now. Better get to work!
the dresses are really pretty! Something about the satin one with straps catches my eye! Are you going to go and look at Brackett's Crossing, too?
