Plans to Visit Uncle Eddie

Thom's "Uncle Eddie" will be presiding over our wedding ceremony. Uncle Eddie is a long time family friend, and presided over Chris and Christie's wedding last spring.

Uncle Eddie was working at a hospital in Pittsburgh, but he was recently assigned his own perish in West Virginia!

We are excited to sit down with him and hear how things are going at his new perish. It will be fun to start planning the actual wedding ceremony too. Its seems funny that we have been planning for 6 months now, but we have not even planed out the most important part of the day.

We are going down to Thom's parents' house next weekend, and will drive from Youngstown down to see Uncle Eddie in WV on Saturday.

Engagement Pics in Studio Rescheduled

We had to reschedule our engagement pictures in Bobby's new studio. Thom is going to be working hard at the AMA race in Topeka that weekend.

Since our weekends are filling up quickly, hopefully Bobby's schedule will be open for a photo shoot on a week day evening.

At least that gives us more time to figure out what we are going to wear.

We are going to try to figure out a new date with Bobby at the beginning of August.

Bachelorette Party Planning

I met up with the girls tonight after work, to figure out plans for the Bachelorette Party! They are hard on the case to plan an amazing night!

We came up with a few options for the night, and Jax is going to send out an email to get some feedback for all of the girls that are invited.

I don't want to give too much away, but most of the night is going to be themed after my all time favorite sport! No its not motorcycle racing, even thought that is coming in a close second these days :)

Continue Work on the Wedding Invites

Devin came over on Sunday afternoon to continue working on the wedding invitations. She has really been working hard on all of the invites, the wedding and the shower. Thank you Devin!

Thom and I reviewed all of the drafts, and Devin made the last few small changes. We just asked her to make some tweaks to her favorite insert, and the wedding invitations should be ready.

Thom and I need to get some more supplies for when we put the invitations together. Then we should be ready to send them to the printer.

Ross Bridal Shower Invites

Devin and Aunt Wendy did a great job designing the Ross Bridal Shower invites! And good job to Mom-Ross, Devin, and Aunt Wendy for putting the invites together!

We look forward to seeing all of the ladies at the Ross Bridal Shower. That's right, I said we. The Big Man himself will be making an appearance. Don't get too excited ladies, Thom is only coming near the end of the Shower.

Aunt Wendy and the Bride's Maids are working hard preparing the Shower. It should be a great event!

Getting Excited!

Thom and I are getting more and more excited for the wedding!

We went to music in the park a few weekends ago and listened to an Irish band. They were awesome! Thom even stood up and clapped along with a song… I might have had to give his arm a tug to get him goin but he kept clapping along. After the concert I bought a CD, and every time I listen to it I get excited for the honeymoon!

Thom and I have talked to a few of our buddies, and it seems like everyone is pumped for the wedding. They are excited for us of course, but they are also really excited for the reception. Thom and I are thrilled to celebrate with everyone, especially with all of our out of town relatives and friends!

Since my dress has arrived, I just get giddy every time I try it on. When Jax and I were checking out the shoes, I didn’t want to take my dress off.

We still have 90-some days until “I Do”, and I am sure as we get closer we will get more excited!!!

Shoes Ordered

As much as I hate to say it, I ended up going back to David’s Bridal for the shoes.

Jax met me at lunch on Friday and helped me decide on the shoes. The shoes looked really great next to the dress, so I had to get them. Of course the service at David’s Bridal was not stellar, just like my past experiences, but the shoes just looked too good.

It was kind of fun to show off my dress in their store. Not to sound like a snotty bride, or anything. But all of the staff asked where my dress was from and complimented me on it! :)

While Jax and I were walking around the store to make sure the shoes were comfortable, we found some cute jewelry. The jewelry on the shelf was only in green, so I am going to check on the web to see if we can find it in blue. Hopefully we can find it because its not everyday that Jax and I agree on jewelry. :)
