Hi Friends, Family & anyone else that would like to take this journey with us -
In the words of the Band Aids of one of my favorite movies; "It's all happening!"
It started last week, we went to order our Save The Dates and the crazy lady wanted $2.50 each. Now, we are sticking to our motto that 'anyone that wants to come is invited...' so that is a lot of Save The Dates. I did a little research and last weekend I ordered the supplies to make them myself. I know I said no crafts; but I was really excited about these so I gave myself the out.
I took Monday off of work, mental holiday, and decided last minute to visit the satin dress. I ended up falling in love with a different dress at the same store and that dress is now MY dress.
On Thursday we got word from Sally that she's got pricing and we can tell our guests to start booking and she recommended that we lead the way. So... we have talked to her about days and we will probably book our trip in the next two or three days.
These are some major milestone in the whole wedding planning.
It's starting to sink in... We're getting married in 10 months.
Things to know:
~We'll be keeping Sally's contact information up at all times on the blog. Please feel free to contact her to see if she can work with your time, monetary, and other constraints.
~We are recommending that you do use Sally but please feel free to search around yourself if you would rather not use an agent. (Sally will be helping with our guest list and such, so please let us know if you are not going to book through her.)
~September is hurricane season. We've done our homework and hurricane's do not typically (one in every 17 years) hit the Dominican Republic. We will not be tempting Mother Nature. We will be spending the extra money for trip insurance. SHOULD anything threaten the island for our event, Sally should be able to scramble and get us a new location to have the vacation/wedding.
~The weather picture on the blog is real time. Please feel free to come back as often as you would like to see how the weather is. For the Chicago folks, in a few months it will really make you ready for the sun.
~Feel free to contact Sally/shop around prior to getting the Save The Dates.
~If you get a save the date, we've handmade them all so they are made with love.
~If you don't get a save the date, come anyway!
It's all happening.
