beware of The Knot!

Word of warning for all those future brides out there that plan on signing up on The Knot- you get MUCHO MUCHO mailers and calls for all these random places and people saying, "You've been selected for the Bridal Package prize, Congratulations!"

I was not warned, I did not know, but at least now I get mail everyday!

Its all GREEK to me!

Today has been a stir crazy day for me. There was something I needed to get done today, and have been unable to pin-point exactly what I need to do. After deliberating which of my dad's suggestion on what I should do with my time- I decided to look up bridal shops in the area. AHHHHHHHH! All of them list things by designers with no pictures. It's like they think I have been planning my wedding from when I was a wee little lass- I DONT KNOW DESIGNERS. I am a visual learner with a budget. Suggestions welcome...

what a pair!

all my single ladies.

Maid of Honor
Amy- my wonderful sister who is always full of life and a GOOD laugh!

Bridesmaids
Nicole- my future sister in law who knows how to rock, and craft!
Megan- my lovely shooting star who could draw you a luscious fairy
Brittany- my very tan friend (I assume she will be tan from spending 5 months in Africa!) who sees excitement in everything!
Kiley- my little Eskimo who can paint like no bodies business- word.

Personal Attendant
Bethany- my dear friend who is always there to listen and make DQ runs!

Personal Assistants (Amy and I created this lovely title)
Lindsay- my other older sister who has a heart for adventure!
Tara- my other other older sister who can successfully speak in many different accents :)

describe your perfect date.

Stan Fields: Miss Rhode Island, please describe your idea of a perfect date.
Cheryl "Miss Rhode Island": That's a tough one. I would have to say April 25th. Because it's not too hot, not too cold, all you need is a light jacket.

I was super excited to eat breakfast this morning (despite being oober tired from a lovely late night chat...) because of the new box of cereal I had bought the day before. I had every intention of getting a box of my childhood favorite Kixs- but when I got into the aisle my taste buds were captivated by the box next to the Kixs. I had a delicious bowl of honey nut chex (gluten free!).

As I was opening the box this morning I noticed the Best Buy date was March 26, 2010 and I thought to myself- I am going to be on my honeymoon at that time! Then I went to open my new bottle of juice and the Best Buy date on that was March 20, 2010 and I thought to myself- I am going to be getting MARRIED on that day! Wow- what a morning of deliciousness and happy thoughts that this breakfast will have its last breath of life on my wedding day.

Reception location

Shelley and I just signed the papers this weekend, to book Holiday Inn Lakeville for our reception! It was our number one pick except we thought it'd be outside of our targeted budget, but thankfully we were able to get it! Thank you Joe and Rita! 

Now that we have the biggest parts taken care of (date, church, a workable guest list, and reception location), we are taking some time off of any official planning to help Shelley focus on finishing up her time at Stout...
