Old Soul, Young Heart

Our rehearsal dinner was at Swingers Grille , which is a pretty fancy place to have a rehearsal dinner. :) When we first walked in, I saw two coworkers from Heartland--it was so funny to see familiar faces in the whirlwind! We got settled back in the little banquet room and had our delicious meal. Then it was time to open gifts! Other Marriage Monday stuff: Philip was sick with the flu a little while ago. It was the first time he's actually been sick that I've been around him and able to take care of him. "Taking care of him" consisted of me buying him medicine and a vanilla milkshake from McDonald's and saying "oh honey," when he looked at me all miserable. Poor thing. Our wedding announcement was in the Pantagraph yesterday. My dad mentioned yesterday that he had a phone call from one of my mom's old colleagues from State Farm. She called to say that she had seen the announcement in the paper and that she wanted to tell him how beautiful a...

The ceremony service is nailed down. We met with Jim and Michele (co-officiants) on Monday and went over a lot of logistics. Michele and I also made a quick trip to Evelyn Chapel since she had never been there. I just love that place. I can really visualize now what everything's going to be like. It is both exciting and scary, because it's getting so close!  With the service fully figured out, I can start making programs now. I feel as though this part might be a larger undertaking than the invitations, because there will be double the amount! The actual construction should be easier, though. Menu card printing/construction will also start soon. We met with the travel agent to go over our honeymoon itinerary. I'm so excited to be on vacay with my new husband in just 5 weeks. (Husband! So weird!) I am disappointed that I've been unable to reach our musicians for the ceremony. I've emailed twice in the past 3 weeks... still nothing. Maybe they're on vacation? I ne...

Wedding Wednesday Last Wednesday was the 4th of July, and then we went on a little vacay down to Six Flags and some caverns in Missouri this past weekend, and then I've had "homework" for work the past two nights, so I honestly haven't had the time to do much wedding stuff since last week. But here is the little news that I do have! Sash news: Done and done! The one from Amazon came and I liked it better than the one from ebay, so that's a wrap! (My dad liked the one from ebay better, but, sorry Pops!) I have only a bracelet to get and I know exactly which one it'll be--it's part of my late birthday present from Philip. I asked my friend, Sheila, to help do some logistical things at the ceremony. She'll be handing out programs and a few other minor things. I'm so grateful to have her help because I know she'll be good; she's an event coordinator for her job at UNLV! We ordered the suits for the guys from Men's Wearhouse. The guys...
