(Click an image to view the photo gallery.) Since my last post in November, we've celebrated Christmas, received our wedding invitations from Zazzle (we love that site, and their customer service), finished a couple of important DIY projects, addressed the invitation envelopes (thanks, Mom), stuffed the envelopes, and mailed the invitations (thanks, Dad!). I had my first bridal shower on March 1st, which would normally be (most likely) a sunny day. This year we had a February with lots of snow, sleet, freezing rain, school and business closures, etc. So the day of my shower it was rainy and cold, but not enough to prevent us from having a nice time! Thank you to Elyse, my matron of honor, and bridesmaids for hosting! The night before, there was an engagement party and couple's shower at the home of Elyse and Mark Phillips. Good (and generous) friends made it a memorable night and Mike and I appreciated everything from the decorations and food to gift cards. My parents and I went to a Catering Works (Raleigh) tasting event last week, and essentially ate dinner after sampling many of their dishes. Only one of the choices they had that night is on our own reception menu, but that was okay. We're confident with our with what we picked and we're impressed with their food and service. My wedding dress came in a few days ago, and it's now in my closet. I love it!!! Mike and his guys have their suits, my bridesmaids have their dresses, and in a little more than two short months, we'll all meet at the Merrimon-Wynne! That's it for now... HB p.s. In late January, we became uncle & aunt to Mike's sister's baby boy. Crisann and her husband Sam now have a cute little guy named Tripp, who will be at the wedding of course. | |
