We now have invitations ordered!! Ralph and I were very lucky to find the 'perfect' invitation for us while we were recently in Kalamazoo. Ralph had wanted a very ornate, traditional invitation, while I was leaning toward a very not-so-traditional invitation. However, we both spotted this one at the same time and said.. "That's the one!!". We've seen the proofs already, and should have then in a week or two. Then comes the fun fun fun of addressing them all!!
We are both getting really excited now... 1 1/2 months until one shower. 2 months to our Caribbean cruise. 2 1/2 months to another shower. And 4 1/2 months until the wedding!! And what is also fun, is we have four couples we know that are all starting to plan their weddings as well. But seeing that ours is closer, we've been able to answer a lot of questions for the others. That's been very cool.
Oh, I've also been working on the programs for the ceremony. I've very happy because I've figured out a way to design and manufacture them myself!
One other thing we've done recently is pick out gifts for the wedding party & parents... hey, I'm not going to tell you what they are here!! You'll just have to wait and see!!

PS - thank you to all of our parents for working so hard to help us plan this day. It's not always a picnic, but we also couldn't do it without you and your help. And we wouldn't want to do it without you!!!
PPS - and remember how much we love you when it comes time to help us with the seating arrangements at the reception!!! {smile}
