Always Plan Ahead

Tuesday I went with Tina (My soon to be 'Foster' mother =] ) to, kind of, a bridal warehouse place. It's called Wedding101 and it's in The Factory in Franklin. It was a great place to get started and the best part is that it's free! =] They had different vendors set up and helped you make a checklist on getting started for the big day. I got a lot of good ideas from portfolio's and different items that they had. I will probably go back a couple more time's for ideas and some more help.

After we left there, Tina took me to a place in Hendersonville to show me a potential spot for the ceremony. It's a great little place on the lake, covered with tree's and lots of seating area and a gazebo at the main focal point. I'm not sold out to there being gravel around the gazebo though; it will definitely make being barefoot harder. But that can always be covered up, so it's still in the running for our ceremony site. Still need to check out some other potential spots and take Ronnie out to see them.
Tina got me a great planner/organizer to carry around while we were at Wedding101 and my sister got me a month to month planner for my birthday... and I got myself a wedding magazine a few weeks ago. I'm already making a nice collection and I have over a year to do it. =] Can't you tell I'm just a little excited.

Bottles, Mugs, Jugs,&Jars

If anyone has or comes across any glass bottles or mason jars that they don't want, I would be more than happy to take them off your hands. =] I need quite a few bottles and jars for decorations and vases for the wedding, so if anyone could help, that would be great! If you have some or know where a mass amount of them are hiding, please let me know. Thank you so much!

It's only been a month and I feel like I've got a pretty good idea of what everything is going to look like. Now comes the part where I get out there and find all the tools I need to make this day happen. I'm excited for this next step in life. We're looking at having our big day next fall,... outdoors&barefoot.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

⁴ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

⁸ Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

Getting Started

So, I decided to make a blog to make it easier and more convient for people to keep up with what we're planning and how it's going. Also, this will be an easier way to let everyone know where we register, when the big day is, and all the fun stuff in between. It's only been a month and I already can't wait for our future. In advance, I want to thank everyone who has/will help(ed) us, you all mean so much to us and we are grateful for everyone's help and advice.
