purchases

I bought my wedding ring today. I realize I didn't need to do so this early, but I didn't want it to go out of stock again. Besides, it was 30% off AND expedited shipping was free. Win.

I made some other wedding purchases last night, too. I bought this flower clip for my hair:


...and something secret for my maids of honor and personal attendant. All the money I got for Christmas went in the wedding fund and is already getting put to good use. Go me!

Party

Houston, we have a wedding party. Members can be seen here in all their awesome glory.

I am psyched.

It's decided: when it comes time for my ladies of honor to acquire their dresses, I'm going to the "Little black dress" section at target.com and picking my favorite. Because really, a cute black dress is a cute black dress. Why ask someone to spend an exorbitant amount of money on it?

I met with my graphic designer last night. Which is really a fancy way of saying Eric came over and we discussed Save-the-Date designs a little bit while watching A Christmas Story and talking smack about the crazy people we know.

Oh, and I almost forgot - Darren has an uncle who is apparently an amazing photographer and has shot weddings before. I'd prefer to see some samples first, but hey- we might get our photography done for freeeeez! If Darren agrees. I think he probably will. There are some things he has strong opinions about, like food, but other things like Save-the-Dates where he really doesn't care all that much.

Also, I guess a lot of Darren's family goes to the same church up near the farm and he mom said we might be able to borrow tables and chairs from the church. Or rent them. If we can borrow them or if the rental cost is cheaper than the rental place we'll probably end up using for some stuff, I'm all in. And if the chairs are ugly I'll find a place to rent reasonable-priced chair covers.

If we end up being able to borrow tables & chairs at not cost, renting chair covers (if necessary) will still save us money.

Blah blah blah, this is me putting all the stuff in my head down on paper the screen to make room for all the other crap I have to think about.

moo?

So many posts today.

I'm thinking that instead of wedding favors for the guests, we make a donation in their honor to Heifer International. It's such a cool charity and I'd say it's pretty appropriate for a wedding on a farm. Plus, considering animals are going to be killed in our honor, it's only fair to donate animals for non-eating purposes. Then we could print business cards to put at each place setting indicating that the donation had been made.

In other news, our second usher agreed to the position. Pip!
We have most of our wedding party, save for one usher and a personal attendant or two. Yay!
