I have scheduled nail appointments for Mom, Dev, and I on Friday before the Big "I Do." Originally we were going to all go to my salon in cute downtown Farmington to get them done, but they don't have enough nail technicians on staff to get all three of us done quickly. We want to relax and have some girl time, but we do have other things to get done that day so it could not be an all day affair.
I called around to a few other salons, and ended up scheduling an appointment at Macy's Salon down in Westland. For those of you that don't know, I am originally from Westland and Mom and Dev still live there. The three of us used to go to that Macy's for our hair and nails, so it is kind of funny that we ended up there the day before my wedding.
I also scheduled my hair trial appointment. I was hoping to have my trial the morning of the Bachelorette Party so I could have cute hair for the night, but it didn't work with my hair dresser's schedule. Instead my trial will be the day before the Bachlorette Party.

Boys Tux Fitting
We think all of the boys have been fitted for the Tuxedos. I say we think, because we have not gotten a call from the Tux Shop to remind them.
Thanks to all of the guys for taking care of that, especially all of you out of town boys!

The Ladies Outfits
Janet, Mother of the Groom has found her dress! Her, Christie, and I looked a little over the summer but had no luck. Janet watched the stores for the fall dresses, and just started looking again. She was excited about the dress, and Thom got a picture message of her modeling the dress for us. She looks great in it! Thom and I get to see it in person when we head down to Youngstown for the Ohio Shower next weekend.
Grandma found an outfit for the wedding too! Grandma was worried she would never find anything to wear, but one day while she was out not even looking for her outfit she found it. She was shopping for pants to wear for the MI shower, she didn't find any pants, but she did find a great looking outfit for the wedding!
Donna, Mother of the Bride is on the hunt for her shoes. She tired a few stores, and is planning to continue the hunt tomorrow.

Girls Jewlery and My Shoes
The Girls' jewelry arrived at David's Bridal. I ran into the store today and picked them up, and asked about my shoes.
The necklace and earring sets look really nice. They were not exactly what I was expecting, but they still look nice and will look good on the girls.
While I was at "my favorite bridal store" I asked about my shoes. Originally they were suppose to arrive before the girls' jewelry. Turns out there was a slight issue with my order, and it kind of got lost in the shuffle. But no worries, they will have the shoes ready next week.
Since the shoes will be ready I need to schedule a fitting for My Dress :)

Florist Meeting
Thom and I drove down to Fanny's Floral and Gifts this morning to finalize things with our order. Fanny was very helpful and showed us tons of examples.
She built up an example of most of our flowers to give us a better idea of what our arrangements would look like. She even run upstairs to her storage room a few times to show us different vase options.
We decreased our center pieces order, since we will have the candles. But then we added some arrangements for the church. Thom just smiled when I asked if he thought we needs flowers for the church...as in he knew I would take the money we saved on the table center pieces and put it somewhere else :) But we both agreed that the flowers will add some color to the church.
All of the flowers should look great and really pull together our colors.

Invitations In The Mail
We had a few more technically difficulties with the invitations assembly... but we managed to power though. Thank you to Jax, Dev and Linds for helping to assemble and stuff envelopes!!!
Thom and I finished stuffing envelops, putting stamps on, and licking them shut -Thom got that fun job :) on Thursday night.
We dropped off the invitations in the mail this afternoon while we did all of our running around town.
Your invitations should be coming soon!!!

Fr. Greg Meeting
We meet with Father Greg and his Secretary Patty this morning at St. Clare. Father Greg seemed excited that we wanted to have our marriage ceremony at his new church. We will be the first to be married at St. Clare since he was taken over for Father Fred.
We also talked with Patty, the Church Secretary. She showed us around the church and explained where the woman usually get changed. As most of you will see at the ceremony, the church is surrounded by glass nearly 1/3 of the way around...so keeping the bride hidden is going to be fun! Patty pretty much gave us the freedom to arrange the alter to fit our needs. We still need to figure out where Thom and I and the bridal party will be sitting during the ceremony.
It was fun to plan out the ceremony in the church and picture how things would work!
