Saturday Stuff

So yesterday was a busy busy day for wedding stuff!

Me and Brian headed to Men's Wearhouse for our 5:30 appointment to pick out tuxes.

Brian was just thrilled about getting his measurements and trying on shoes and jackets. Personally, I felt his shoes looked great with shorts and no socks! LOL

We were able to find exactly what we needed, with the exception of they didn't offer rentals for anyone under the age of 3. :-( So now we have to figure out what we will do about that!

While at Men's Wearhouse another couple was getting their rentals taken care of too! Turns out, they were also getting married October 8! Small world! Me and Lora had a nice chat about wedding stuff..and our guys were even wearing matching red shirts! LOL.

After leaving Men's Wearhouse, we decided to go look at wedding bands at Zale's. Those things are way more expensive than we thought. UGH..everything wedding is just wayyyy too expensive! This is Brian trying on the Cobalt.

Most of their rings were a little too fancy for me..I don't wanna take away from the already beautiful ring Bri gave me for our engagement, so I'm looking for something simple..yet simple is also very expensive! sheesh!

We ended the day with dinner, Toy Story Mania, and wine..great day!

Decorating

Wine bottles. There has to be a DIY project out there to transform empty wine bottles into decorations. I want to use these for the wedding somehow, although I haven't really figured out how I will use them. In the mean time I am saving mine, and if anyone would like to do the same, that'd be awesome!

Moving right along..Food + Video

So I'm a little behind, but that's ok. June 25 my mommy took me and Brian to eat at this little place in Franklin called Stroud's. Apparently the restaurant has catered some event in the past that my parents went to, and they were raving about it. So, me and Brian decided to give it a try and see if it was wedding worthy..

Mmmmmm..we got a plate that would enable us to try out everything they had to offer...

Me and Brian really enjoyed it..so this could be the place that we go with for the food..of course it isn't finalized yet..

More recently I got my act together. Me and Brian put money down for our townhome that I was stressing over and we close on it August 11! CRAZY! Thankfully, he has taken that stress off my shoulders and onto his. I was especially thankful he did this when some very unexpected and shocking news came out. I'm not going to talk about it on here..but it was quite a big bit of stress that I don't have a say in, so it just feels like a weight is on my shoulders that I can't really do anything about..it's times like these that I really wish I could just let stuff go n not worry..UGH!

Even more recently than that, I FOUND A VIDEOGRAPHER!! One of my maids, Jessica, was listening to me vent a few weeks ago about how tough it has been to find a decently priced, good quality video person..I have had 1 person fall through and had trouble keeping in touch with 2 others..or I would find a company that wouldn't be flexible about the paying..Let me break that down real quick..I wanted to pay someone in 3 steps: deposit, wedding day, when I receive the video. I was told by my photographers that they had heard horror stories of people paying for photo/video services and then those services taking the money and running..anyway! so, then there was Jessica..she told me about a friend that she used to work with in Murfreesboro that did videos. I decided to seek him out on facebook and see what he could offer. Well, he allowed me to check out his previous videos..and I found them very interesting, sooo I decided to hire him! He came at a great price and with a great package. I can't wait to see what he does with my wedding! yay!!
