A few new things

Ok there are a couple things different now. Because of the position of the video screen and the lighting we are going to face the entire ceremony the other direction.

The pathway will have several clusters of flower pots with plants but make it so that people can get through even with wheelchairs to get to the food tables during the reception without having to move anything.

Music will be on the stage so that will be better for cords and plug ins I am told.

My dress is finally finished and I love it!!! Thank you so very much Erica!!

I found my shoes at Walmart and was glad to see a selection of strappy sandle type shoes there (Didn't find any at Nordstrom, or Macy's, or even at Payless Shoes)

Ron and I did our Walmart registry and had so much fun. We are already registered at Target. It feels like Christmas going around scanning everything that we would pick if we could pick just anything. What fun!! Choosing colors and styles together has been a blast.

Well I hope everyone has a very fun day.

Wedding plan changes

Hi Everyone,
The hosting went out on dexcaps and so I have to change the plans and coordinate the wedding plans from here which is probably easier for most anyway.

I am sorry I haven't kept it up like I should have and many things have changed since the last post on the forum.

Here is the scoop as of now, but I am learning that everything is tenative. That is what makes it fun. lol

Colors have changed to Red White and Blue. Not stars and stripes though just a beautiful deep rose red and a dark royal blue with white.

The wedding ceremony and reception will both take place in the same room and so the seating will be seating at tables instead of in rows and it will be a garden theme wedding. I checked with the Bishop and it is ok with him if we put down a white paper walkway. We will put a little fence along it and decorate the room in our garden theme.

Bride party attendants should choose a dress they like that is white, sleeveless, full skirted, and tee length. A red lace shawl will be provided. Shoes should be strappy white sandles. Toenails and fingernails will get treated at the wedding party's party at the brides house the night before the wedding. There will also be a Mary Kay makeup party that night.

Groom party attendants should choose white dress pants and white shirt. A blue tux vest will be provided and only Ron and the Best man will have jackets. Shoes should be black.

Flowers will be mostly silks with a few real roses. Mens boutineers will be red roses with a small blue flower or maybe blue ribbon, and women's corsages will be blue carnations with a touch of white and maybe a red ribbon. The bouquets for the brides attendants will be silks mostly roses red and white with a small blue flower in them and baby's breath unless something else looks better when we get to it. Bride's bouquet will be white roses.

We are hoping (haven't talked with Sandy yet) to have a cake like this one. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y239/baqhnara/weddingcake.jpg

The flavors will be chocolate mousse on the bottom and top layers, fresh banana on the 2nd layer and white with strawberry flavor filling on the 3rd layer. Do we need to choose another flavor or are their only 4 layers?

The punch will be white grape and 7up, with an ice ring with blueberries and strawberries frozen into it. Then we will float either vanilla ice cream or pineapple sherbert in that.


Ron and I will be writing our own vows, and there will be a screen up behind us so that when we kiss there will be a fireworks video played and the children will all pop their party poppers and people can cheer, then the music will start to open the reception. There will not be a recessional.

I will post more as we get more info. Sorry this is getting a bit long.
