Pictures
We meet with Bobby on Saturday and he showed us the pics he had so far. All 930-some of them. He went thought the 5,000 pictures him and Ross and Ryan took and narrowed it down to 1,000 pictures. He was able to get the 930 edited and will let us know when he finishes editing the remaining 70.
He gave us high resolution pictures and we posted them to a Picasa photo viewing account. You can view the pictures and if you like any of them you just have to hit the down load button and it will save it to your computer as a high resolution photo. Then you could get the printed off if you wanted.
Hopefully these links works!

Sneak Peak
Bobby has launch a new website (congrats Bobby!), and though so much of the pictures he took at our wedding that he has featured us on his new site! Thanks for the honor Bobby!
These are just a sneak peak of some of the pictures Bobby, Ryan, and Ross took on our big day. Bobby is hard at work going though all of the 5,000 pictures, and said he should have the first round ready for us around the end of next week. So you will have to wait until then to see all of the pictures, but in the mean time here is the link to Bobby's new website.

Bobby and the guys took over 5,000 shots on the Big Day, so I can only imagine that it will take them some time to go through everything. Check back for a link to all of the shots from our wedding.

Super Fun Reception
What a FUN time! I think it is safe to say that everyone had a blast at the reception. The food was delicious, the drinks (especially the tasty home brew) were flowing, the cake was yummy, and the cookie table was a big hit. The Band rocked! The dance floor was packed the whole night, we even got Thom and Joey out on the dance floor :)
Great Wedding
The wedding ceremony was very special! I cried, Thom turned red, we both giggled (everyone says I giggled a little more than Thom). Since I was in the back with Dad, getting ready to make our grand entrance, I didn't get to see the Mom's and Grandma lighting the candles or Maddy throwing the flowers, but everyone said it went great. All of the readers did a wonderful job, and Uncle Eddie gave a great homily. It was really special to Thom and I to have such a personalized wedding ceremony. Thank you to everyone who came to be a part of our ceremony and were there while we exchanged our wedding vows.

Feeling Organized...Feeling Good
Last night Thom and I organized all of the goodies for the wedding. He got some of his old totes down from the attic and we divided up all of the stuff we have to take to the various venues. There is a big tote for the reception, and the rehearsal dinner and a smaller box for the church.
The rehearsal dinner tote is so big because it like Santa’s bag…full of gifts for the Bridal Party :) Then I have some colored napkins left over from the Man Shower that Aunt Ellen sent me home with. I figure the Rehearsal dinner is the perfect place to use those up.
I unwrapped all of the candles for the center pieces, and unity candle, and other decorative candles last night. That took quite a bit of time. We have a lot of candles. Then Thom and I set up an example of the candle center pieces and took some pictures. Thom printed the pics off so we can drop them off with the supplies. After all the trouble we went through to get those candles we wanted the center pieces to look good. And the hall was a little nervous to set them up with out an example, so the pictures should do the trick.
Mom and Jax are dropping off the rest of the goodies that are going into the reception tote by tomorrow. And Thom is picking up the last of the stuff to be dropped off at the hall on his way home from work tomorrow.
We are feeling really organized. Well at least for right now. I mean I am sure we are forgetting something, or something won’t go exactally as planed, but we are feeling organized enough to not be worried about anything. I am glad we are as prepared as we possibly could be! Now we can just sit back, say ‘I Do’, and party it up!

The Last of the Paper Assembly
Mom-Ross is picking up our final paper order from Greko tomorrow morning. Then she is going to stop at my house to drop off the paper and the other supplies we are borrowing.
I am going to stop at home on my lunch break tomorrow to help Mom start assembling the paper stuff. Not to give too much away, but we do have to do a bit more assembling for the paper stuff at the ceremony, reception and something else. The something else part needs to be done first, so Mom and continue her journey around town dropping off supplies.
It’s a good thing Mom had some extra vacation days to help Thom and I out. :) And when she told me she was taking all of that time off I thought it was excessive.

The Girls' Hair
I have been getting text messages, emails, picture messages (really any form of communication besides snail mail) for the girls about their hair style.
Some of the girls know exactly how they are going to have their hair done, and some don’t quite know yet. Devin did a mini trial and found the style she likes. Jax has known about her hair style for a bit. Lacey found some pics she likes on-line, but is not 100% sure. Lindsay was going to wear it like she had for a wedding earlier this year, but now she is going to change it up.
I know they will all look beautiful!!!

Vendor Final Details
Thom has been talking with TJ from the band to go over a few final details. Details like the bridal party introduction song and the song to be played as Thom and I are introduced – its going to be a good one! Even the song being played while we cut the cake!
I talked with Bobby and he has appointments set at the church and reception site to check the lighting so he is ready to go on the Big Day. When I told him Thom and I wanted to do family pictures at the church after the ceremony, but the church doesn’t have steps, he jokingly said “well we can just have the girls sit down in the grass.” Well I was totally in planning mode and didn’t even get the joke, which just made him laugh more. Bobby will be taking pictures of me and the girls at the salon and one of his team members, Ryan, will be taking pictures of Thom and the guys getting ready at the hotel.
Fanny is ready to go, and Anica is ready to help her Mom set up the flowers. Anica dropped off the special detail to her mother that will be included in the center pieces.
Thom called the church to make sure it will be open when we need it for the rehearsal and early enough on the big day so Fanny can get in.

Getting Ready for the Honeymoon
Thom and I are also doing a bit to get ready for the honeymoon! I have printed off all of our confirmation numbers for the flight, hotel, and car. We even got a great list of pub recommendations from Elaine – Thanks!
We don’t fly out until Monday evening, so we have Monday morning and afternoon to pack everything. My goal for this week was to make sure I had everything washed that we are planning on packing. The last thing I want to do the first day of officially being a wife is laundry – something tells me I have the rest of my life as a wife to do that :)

Busy!
As if you couldn't tell by the short posts on the blog...Thom and I are busy!
We will try to post at least once more before the Big Day....

Weather
Even though Thom told me not to, and I know it is never accurate... I have been checking the 10 day forecast!
At first we had a 60% chance of rain, but now its only 30% chance of rain. Originally the rain was on Sat and Sun, but now it moved to Fri and Sat.... fingers crossed it will keep moving to earlier in the week.
We also checked the weather for Ireland. We figured it would be similar to MI weather, but we wanted to make sure. It looks surprising similar to MI weather, high 50's to low 40's.

Drop Off Stuff at the Hall
This week Thom and I are going to organize everything that needs to be dropped off at the hall. We have most of the stuff jammed in boxes in the spare bedroom. We just need organize and make sure we have everything.
Hopefully we can fit most of the stuff into just a couple Rubbermaid totes. We need to get the stuff home from the hall to so we are thinking using the totes will be the easiest.

Printer Working
The final paper things have been dropped off at the printer, and they are busy working to have them done for the big day. (the seating chart will be dropped off soon!) I have to run down to Greko tomorrow at lunch to proof the ceremony programs.
I bought the ribbon for the programs this weekend. And we have nominated Mom-Ross to pick up the programs and the rest of the paper stuff on Wednesday (her day off). She is even going to start assembling some of the paper goodies. Thanks for your help Mom!
