Update

Rehearsal Dinner-  The rehearsal dinner will be in the Lower Great Room at Shepherd of the Lake.  It should be a nice, relaxing time for everyone.

Ceremony Site- Shepherd of the Lake.  Still working on the minor details, but we stopped by on Easter and saw the unity candle holder.  We have been debating whether to buy a set or to get individual candles.  We are working on setting the songs and readings for the ceremony now.  The next step is to get all that figured out and make the programs.

Officiant-  We were also able to meet our pastor on Easter.  It made me feel a lot better about the situation because we have so much in common with him.  His wife went to Concordia, so he is familiar with the school.  He was very personable and seemed interested in getting to know us better, which was really nice.

My gown-  Still waiting for it to come in.  The ship date is still April 27th.  I will let you know as soon as I get it.

Tuxes-  Josh has picked out his tux and the men are in the process of getting measured.

Bridesmaid dresses-  The bridesmaid dresses have been delivered and they look even better than I remembered!  So excited.

Hair stylist-  After so much hesitation, I finally decided on a hair stylist for the day.  She will be coming on site to do my hair and makeup and I am SOOO excited.  I will be getting a test-run done on the morning of one of my bridal showers.  I'm super excited and will be making a couple of visits to her before updo time to get cuts and color.

Florist- My mom, Nancy, and I will be visiting the flower market with our florist in May.  It will be really fun to see all the flowers and finally decide exactly what we are going to have for the day.

Cake-  Thanks to REB, I put the great cake dilemma to rest.  We are going with Sunny Cakes, a cousin of a friend who is just starting up her own bakery.  We have done a testing and are really excited to work with her creativity.

I have been working on some other details as well.  I created some table numbers, restroom signs, chair signs, and tags for the bubbles.

After my bad week last week, it has been nice to talk it out with some friends and look forward to the fun things coming in the next couple of weeks.  Looking forward to a facial and getting my hair and nails done next weekend (even thought I have to work on Saturday again!) and a Bridal Shower at Sheila's the week after.
