GETTING IN GEAR

Now that I am done with "Miracle on 34th Street: The Musical" & Christmas is just around the corner, it is time to really get some stuff in gear. I need to get with my bestie/maid of honor & get some finalizing paperwork done with my venue. I want to get it all in writing so it's all set & I can focus on other things for the wedding. I intend to be pretty crafty & DIY with my wedding so I have already been looking into ways to accomplish what I want. I'm also very excited that my lovely fiance is really into the planning & he's been coming up with amazing ideas! I feel very fortunate. Sometimes I look at my ring & look at him & still can't believe I'm really engaged. What an awesome feeling.

So, here's to getting in gear in the new year!!

My rings! & Other Lovely Things!

DF (Dear Fiance) & I went to go buy my rings last Friday. I am so excited & it really made it feel real to me. I am absolutely in love with my ring set! Of course I am only wearing the engagement ring, but we are saving the band for the wedding. :) Isn't it gorgeous? I love it because it looks antique. I like that we got to go pick it out together. I was surprised enough by the sweet out of nowhere proposal. It actually felt more meaningful that he chose a time it felt right in HIS heart. & it's nice to know he had been pondering the idea a lot longer than I had thought. (Way back to the cast party of Pajama Game? We're talking April!)


I am already starting to make some plans. I am going to make my wedding binder soon. Probably Friday when I have some free time (with the baby & the show, Miracle on 34th Street) I am swamped! I will post pictures of that when it's at least put together. We decided on a color scheme that works for both of us:

It's chartreuse, plum & pewter grey. I LOVE IT! I think it all looks so pretty together. We haven't thought of a theme yet.. but I don't want very traditional or conventional. I ordered the Offbeat Bride book off of Ebay. I can't wait for it to get here!

There are a few kinks to work out with the bridal party so I hope they get taken care of soon. I will feel better knowing who & what as soon as possible. I really have to get my stuff together too. My dream venue is too expensive, so I am thinking of other possibilities. Might have to ask a few people I know about what they think. It might also take care of the 'theme' idea too.
