Wedding Party Attire

These past two weeks went by very quickly for us. We were able to choose the groom, groomsmen, and bridesmaid’s attires.

Since we’re all about practicality, we decided that instead of renting a tux that was expected, expensive and uncomfortable, why not purchase a good looking suit. Men's Warehouse was having a buy one get one free sale which worked out perfectly. All the groomsmen met up and picked out a matching suit that they all approved of. Not only will our groomsmen be able to keep the suit, but they were able to get one for half the price.

The bridesmaids also experienced the same practicality. They had an appointment at David's Bridal this past Saturday. Upon arrival, Joanne expected a bit more of an organized setup, but regardless they were in and out within an hour. Joanne wanted the maidens to purchase a dress that each of them felt comfortable in as long as the length and color matched. Coincidently, Amber & Sarah got the same dress and Lora & Kelly picked out a matching dress. The material that was chosen is more cotton than a shiny material, that way each of the girls can actually wear the dress to different occasions.

Luckily, we both have chosen the best people to be apart of our wedding party. Each of them is caring and supportive of our wedding wishes and needs. It is so important to choose people you love and who love you back. These two weeks would not have gone so smoothly if it weren’t for our wedding party being so involved.

4 Months to go...

We are both excited that our wedding is around the corner. We have invested so much time in planning that we can't wait to see the outcome of it all.

With most of the big decision making done, we have finally come to a point where planning is so much fun and not stressful. We have picked our venue, cake maker, photographer, officiant, honeymoon location, caterer and wedding party.

We have been focusing on a couple of things this month: decor, honeymoon details, suits for the guys, dresses for the ladies. We also plan on meeting with our wedding coordinator and officiant to work out the details of our vows and ceremony.

Other than that we have a sunny disposition that all is heading in the right direction. We have been extremely blessed with our family and friend's love and support throughout the whole process of planning, which is making things go over smoothly for us. Without our blessings we would be in shambles trying to get hitched so for that we are truly thankful.

See you in 4 months!
