Marriage Monday - My Girls

Image
This Marriage Monday features the girls in the bridal party! One of my favorite pics of me and Michele. Peggy (and dad), trying to calm me down before walking in. Brooke, smiling at her brother at the end of the aisle. Briana and Faith, cutest flower girls ever. The girls who will be in my life forever. :)

Wedding Wednesday We were in the Pantagraph this weekend. The actual picture in the newspaper turned out bad, I think, but the internet link is nice. Here it is:  Sara & Phil in z Pantagraph . It's so cute when people mention to me that they saw it. :) Went to Champaign this weekend and could only find one bridal store that had a lot of sashes that actually weren't that bad in price. The salesladies didn't know if the one I liked the best could be sold separately from a dress, so whatever. (Then why have it hanging up as if you can?) If they would've looked into it more for me, I might have bought it, but they didn't seem that interested in helping me, so whatever. Wishing I could find one and just order it because it makes me nervous getting one custom-made. Which brings me to... Custom-made sash info: I'm seeing if a girl on Etsy can design one for me that looks similar to another one that I loved. She said she can, but now my concern is that her whit...

Well, I'm already behind on my lists, but I couldn't help it because the person I'm following didn't post her's until after I left for the day yesterday and I just got home from spending time with my boooyfriend. I also went to David's Bridal (again!) yesterday so that Brooke could try on bridesmaid dresses. She chose the same one as my aunt! So all of the girls will be in the dress that I posted a couple of weeks ago. I love that dress! They all will look so beautiful and elegant--I'm so excited about it! We also picked the flower girl dresses and it's also super cute. I'm wondering now, though, if the style is discontinued because it kinda says that on the website. Brooke's not ordering them until June, so I guess we'll find out then? They tried on shoes and headbands and they looked so adorable! Anywho... here are the lists! Yesterday's List (Day 3): Recipe for a Perfect Weekend Sleeping in : Until at least 9:30, ot...
(Okay... I wrote this entry last night and apparently it didn't save, so here we go again!) My aunt got her bridesmaid dress yesterday! I love it and she looks so great in it! I'll go with Brooke and the flower girls in a couple weekends to choose their dresses. It's all coming together! And I finally got pictures of ME in my wedding dress!
Christmas was good! We had our usual schedule--I went to the Bourque's on Christmas Eve, stayed and opened gifts with his parents on Christmas morning, and then we went to my aunt's Christmas afternoon, and me and Philip had our Christmas together Christmas evening. It's kind of a lot; I can't imagine what the holidays are like when you have double the parents to visit or if you have kids. We had a good meal Christmas Eve in Hanna City and we opened gifts with the girls (Philip's nieces, Briana and Faith). I was pretty nervous because I had put a little something together to ask them to be our flower girls. Opening gifts with Briana and Faith is kind of chaotic because they have so many presents to open. I was afraid that my gifts would get lost and/or it wouldn't be that big of a deal to them, but I wanted it to be memorable. I was so happy because it went just as I wanted it to go... Briana started opening her gift before Faith did, so I had to slow her do...
