Luckily Thom and I both have this coming Friday off of work. But instead of enjoying not having any meetings in the office, we will be having some wedding meetings.
Thom has arranged for us to meet with Father Greg. Father Greg took over at St. Clare when Father Fred retired. We have been to mass and talked with Father Greg briefly, but we figured it would be a good idea to meet with him before all of our family and friends fill up the church.
We are also going down to The D to meet with Fanny our florist. We need to finalize a few things with her, and she said it would be easiest to make the decisions at her shop where she could show us actual examples.
Then we will probably use Friday afternoon to take care of a few more random wedding To Do List items. Hopefully the rest of the holiday weekend we can relax!!!

Invitation Update
As of 10:00 this morning our invitations had been printed, and were ready to be cut to size. But the shipment of envelops had not arrived at the printer. Since the envelopes were not ready I decided I would wait and hopefully pick up everything tomorrow.
We are planning to have the girls over tomorrow for dinner and invitation assembly, so hopefully the envelopes arrive tomorrow morning. And the printer has time to print the return address on the envelopes before I pick them up on my lunch break.
If all goes well with the assembly we should be ready to mail out the invites by this weekend.

Cake Decisions
Kristan our baker has made us several delicious sample cakes. Actually, the timing of our last sample cake was perfect. Thom's family got to try it while they were in town for the MI shower.
Kristan is getting ready to stock up her supplies in preparation for our wedding cake, so we had to make some decisions.
We have decided to go with two different flavors of cakes. Kristan is going to work her magic to incorporate our cake flavors into her beautiful design!
The rest of the delicious details are going to be a surprise!

Wedding in CA
Thom and I are off to Cally this evening for our friend Matt’s wedding! It’s going to be a beautiful outdoor wedding at Matt’s future in-laws house in Northern CA. We are thinking we will have a few hours to head out to Sonoma and do some wine tasting!
We are hoping for a nice relaxing get away weekend :)

Invitations at Printer
We have had some technical issues with the invitations at the printer. Devin our wiz-bang designer has too new and cool of a design program, that the print shop could not open her files. She quickly solved that problem, and emailed the files in a different format… But they went into the spam folder so the chick at the printer could not find them right away.
But they ended up finding the files and printing them off for us to proof. There was a slight mix up with the RSVP card, but Devin was on the ball and fixed it right away.
Then the engineer in Thom and I kicked in! We noticed a few more small things while we were reviewing the printed proof, and asked Devin to make a few more small changes. Again she was on top of things and made the changed right away!
Thom is going down to the printer this afternoon to review another printed proof of all of the changes.
We are going to have an invitation assembly line party next week with Jax, Dev, and Lindsay. Hopefully the invitation will be mailed before Labor Day weekend :)

Update Our Florist
A few things have changed since I last talked with Fanny our Florist several months ago. The most obvious change is the infamous candle center pieces. We also need to get our Flower Girl some flowers, because we forgot to add those to the original order. We are going to change up a few other things too, but those are going to remain a surprise.
It has been a little tricky to communicate all of these changes over email and phone conversations, so I am going to schedule another meeting. I need to do some hunting for pictures of flower arrangements to give Fanny a better idea of what we are looking for.

Ceremony Planning
Uncle Eddie sent an updated version of the "Together For Life" book up to Michigan with Thom's parents.
We got a chance to read it over a little bit this weekend and it looks like the readings we were thinking of using are actually included in the updated book. The older book, was super old.
Thom and I are planning on putting together the final outline for the ceremony this week. Then we can send it out to Uncle Eddie and the Linda and the music group.
Its kind of hard to plan the wedding ceremony and be objective reading over the vows without getting too emotional.
Just two more months until the real wedding vows!

Tux Fitting
Dad and Mom-Godward, Christie, and Chris all came and stayed with us this past weekend so they could join in the MI Shower fun!
While the boys were up for the weekend they stopped in at the Tux Shop and got fitted.
The girls came along so they could see the Tuxedo style Thom and I chose. Everyone really like the combinations we choose.
Mom and Dad-Ross are planning on stopping in at the Tux Shop this week to get Dad fitted.
The rest of you boys, you have a week to get measured in case you have not gotten to it yet.

Invitations at Printer
Devin has had the invitation design finalized for a few weeks now. But, I was having trouble finding enough of the green card stock in the local craft stores for the background of our invitations. Luckily I found the exact color and type of paper we needed online and was able to have it delivered right to the house. The paper arrived this past weekend, and it really was the right color and style. After the candle incident I was a little nervous ordering online.
Since we have the green background paper, we were ready to take the invitation design to the Printer. We are using Grecko Printing, the same shop that printed the Save The Date Cards, to print our invitations.
I dropped off the data and green paper and placed the order today on my lunch break. They will have a proof ready for us to review on Wednesday evening.
They had to order the envelopes, because I asked for recycled card stock and envelopes. Maybe it’s a good sign that they didn't have any more in stock. Maybe it means that more people are requesting recycled content.
The invitations will be ready next Monday. That gives us a few days to assemble the invitations and stuff envelopes and address the envelopes. Jax is coming over next Tuesday to help on the invitation assembly line.

MI Shower!
The MI Shower, hosted by Aunt Wendy and the Bridesmaids, was beautiful!
The garden party was complete with a big white tent covering lime green tables surrounded by tons of fresh flowers. Aunt Wendy, Jax, and Dev assembled gorgeous centerpieces of watering cans with bright fresh cut flowers, and cute favors of potted herbs tied with personalized lime green ribbon.
The Bridesmaids severed delicious Maurice salads, and Mom-Ross’ homemade Sanders hot Fudge creampuffs.
The big white tent came in handy, since we had a few tears from heaven. The Army of Bridesmaids went in to instant defense mode and quickly covered the gift table. They even powered through to serve the lunch and dessert in the rain! I couldn’t ask for better Bridesmaids.
While the ladies were enjoying the amazing shower, the boys were at the Man Shower. Basically Thom’s Dad took Thom, Chris, and Dad-Ross to the bar for some micro-brew, pizza and nachos. Then Dad-Ross delivered Thom to the shower to help open gifts.
While we were waiting for Thom to arrive, I pulled from the recipe cards to give the beautiful center pieces as gifts. Each woman was asked to write a recipe for a successful marriage. One of my favorite winners, was to “Love, Honor, but NEVER Obey”.
When Thom arrived, to a round of applause from all of the ladies, we started opening the gifts. We got so many nice gifts! It was so much fun opening all of our presents. Thank you to everyone for all of the wonderful gifts.
There are so many great pictures from the shower, but these are a few of my favorites.

Tuxedo Rentals
Thom and I went to Gerard Tuxedo tonight and picked out the men's formal wear... well I think it might technically be considered semi-formal wear.
Thom had the chick at Gerard show us a demo of each combination on the model. Then he did most of the pickings. I say most of the choices because he was a little indecisive, so I stepped in. Thom went with a tie and vest, no bow ties at this wedding. We are going to have a little bit to differentiate between The (Handsome) Groom :), The Groom's Men and Ushers, and The Fathers. But that is all of the details you are going to get. I'll leave the rest to your imagination.
This is for the fellas in our wedding party. You need to get your Tuxedo measurements taken by Monday August 31st...that's nearly 3 weeks. You can get your measurements taken at Gerard, or a Tux Shop near you. Follow this link if you are not going to get measured at Gerard, for instructions. http://www.gerardtuxedo.com/Out_of_Town_Measurements.html Regardless of where you get measured, you will need to tell them you are with the Ross/Godward Wedding on October 24th...just in case you forgot :)

Folk Group Meeting
Visiting Youngstown means Sunday Mass at St. Luke and breakfast with the Folk Group. But this Sunday was a little different, but for a good reason. The Smrek Family won "Family of the Year" from the Knights of Columbus. Congrats again Smreks!
Linda took time out of her busy award winning morning to talk with Thom and I about our music selections for the wedding.
She said we made it easy on her by not having any idea of what we wanted. We figured she would know what would sound great, better than we would.
She gave us a private mini concert when she sung samples of her suggested songs. Hearing her sing the songs, as apposed to us Engineers just reading the words :), really help to make our decision.

Uncle Eddie Meeting
Thom and I went home to Youngstown this past weekend and got started on lots of ceremony planning.
Uncle Eddie came up from his new parish in West Virgina to visit with us. We went over the "Together For Life" book that we got from our per marriage meetings. It is basically a fill in the blank book on how to organize a Catholic wedding ceremony. Uncle Eddie explained that it is more of a suggested outline, and that we can personalize it as we see fit.
It was great to talk with Uncle Eddie! Talking with him was just like having a conversation, it didn't seem like we were on trial for marriage approval (like some of our other per marriage stuff).
After seeing how great a job Uncle Eddie did at Chris and Christie's wedding, we are so excited to have him preside over our ceremony.

Flower Girl Visit
Maddy, Our Flower Girl, is in town for a couple weeks. Thom and I got to visit her yesterday, and of course we brought her gifts. We got some great books from Mom-Godward, and I picked up a super cute shirt.
She is such a cutie pie! She is going to be a great Flower Girl!

Girls' Necklaces
Sunday was a busy day of running around for wedding stuff. While I was out, I stopped in at David's Bridal to see about the girls' necklaces.
For as much as I am against David's Bridal, I sure spend a lot of time there! I was talking with my Mom about this today. Her and I agree that they can make it without the customer service since they have offer a large selection of items at reasonable prices.
I must say that this time around at David's Bridal I did have a lot of help from one of the sales ladies. She was able to answer all of my questions, and refereed me to her manager when she couldn't.
They do offer the green necklaces that Jax and I saw in a blue color that will match the girls sashes. I ordered them, and they will be arrive in September!

Paper Trail
While out on the search for candles, I also looked for paper for the Invitations.
We will need more paper for the Invitations than we need for the Save The Dates, so I wanted to get a head start on collecting. Of the four craft stores I ventured into on Sunday, I gathered less than twenty sheets of paper.
After little success on the paper trail, I finally talked with a sales associate. She informed me that the stores get their shipments of new stock in on Wednesdays. I got the phone numbers for the stores in my area and the stock number for our paper.
I'll be making some phone calls tomorrow.

Tuxes Locked In
Thom and I have been scoping out Tuxedo Shops around town. Just the other day we got a flier in the mail for a summer sale at one of the shops we were considering. They were voted "Best of Detroit" through one of the local news channels.
Thom called them and locked in the summer sale rate. We are planning to stop over at that shop next week to pick out the men's tuxedos.
We think the out of state boys can just get measured around there area, and call in the dimensions, but we will confirm when visit the shop next week.

Deal On Candles
Oh Yes... The Candle ordeal continues. As I entered my fourth craft store in one day I honestly asked "What the heck did I get myself into!"
But I am getting ahead of myself. Lets start from where I left off on the last candle related entry. Thom returned the second attempt of candles I got on-line, and we decided to get them ourselves at the store. Target had the right color, but not really the right price. Then Devin remained me that Micheal's had the right color- not sure if you remember but when Jax and I first started looking for candles we found them there, but decided against them because they were scented and only came in two different heights.
The good news that Devin explained to me was that now the candles at Micheal's were on sale! But she brought up a good point when she said that they were probably on sale because they wanted to get rid of them, since they were a Easter seasonal item. I took Devin's advice and went out on Sunday in search of these illusive candles.
There are three Micheal's Craft stores within a five mile radius of my house - how is that for urban sprawl?!? The first one I went to only had 2 of the smaller size Sale Candles. But they also carry there everyday brand of candles that is offered in a similar color. Well, I had about had it with the candle search so I figured I mind as well get their everyday candles while I was there and scoop up the two sales ones while I was at it.
Then on to the second Micheal's where I had worse luck. They didn't have any of the sale candles and had an even smaller selection of the everyday candles. By this point I was really considering forgoing the candle idea.
Next to that Micheal's was a JoAnn's (yup that's four craft stores within five miles of my house). I popped in there for the fun of it and did a quick lap of the store with no success.
Instead of giving up, and going home, like I wanted to, I powered through and went to the the last of the craft stores. When I walked in, I heard a choir of Angles singing as I laid my eyes on a huge shelf of sale candles!!!! Victory! There were 20 bigger candles and 18 smaller candles on sale. What luck that I bought those two sale candles at the first store to have an even twenty of both sizes!
Just in case you can not tell through the text here, I was overjoyed and relieved all at the same time!!!
All of the sales ladies thought I was crazy with my cart full of candles, until I explained it was for our wedding, then they simply smiled... does that mean they think we are crazy?
I brought home all of the candles (we currently have nearly 80 candles in our back bedroom) and the first thing I did was create a sample center piece. Thank goodness it look as good in real life as I had pictured it through this whole process!
We are totally accepting that the candles are scented (maybe it will improve the ambiance :)), and we may combine the sale candles with the everyday candles to get more variation in sizes. Thom and I need to decide on the layout of the candle center pieces, and return or purchase any more candles we need, because right now we have an odd number of the everyday candles.

More Pictures Posted
Our photographer, Bobby, has finished editing the engagement pictures from the park.
A few new pictures, and some touched up pictures are now posted.
Here is one of the new ones that I really like!
Limo
Thom (finally) reserved the limo for the wedding day. It took him some time, and a firm deadline from me, but he got it taken care of. :)
Bobby our photographer refereed us to a transportation service. His family has used this company for years and has been very happy with them. Its always nice to have a referral from someone.
The limo is going to take the girls and I to the church to finish getting ready, and then pick up the boys and get them to the church on time. After the service and the family photos, the limo is going to take us and the bridal party to Glen Oaks for more pictures.
I don't want to give too many details away about the limo, but I will say we should have "The Star Treatment." It will be fun!

Engagement Anouncements Published
We have heard from a few of our watch dogs, that some of the engagement announcements have been published in the papers.
Mom-Godward told us that our announcement was in the Vindicator, down in Ohio. She was going to get a few extra copies for us to take home when we visit next weekend.
Aunt Wendy told us when we were in the Harbor Light news. I still have not seen the actual paper yet, but she read it to me over the phone. They had a nice write up about how my Grandparents (on Dad's side) met up in Harbor Springs included in our engagement announcement.
Just today Grandma and I noticed the announcement in the Observer, the local metro Detroit paper. The Observer is delivered to several cities around the area, here is the link to our announcement from the Novi paper: http://www.hometownlife.com/article/20090730/LIFE/907300438/1106/Novi+Engagement++Ross+&+Godward
