Our Home Yay!!

Very excited to announce to everyone that Ron and I have our apartment. I will be moving in this weekend, and he will join me after the 23rd.

It is perfect! Right on the max train with all the accessible things that will make things easier for Ron. Roll in shower and everything. We are so excited.

We got our keys and made the necessary copies, and went through the apartment for a walkthrough today. Everything seems to be in working order and so it is ready for move in.

It is starting to feel less like a dream and more like reality as we get closer to our day. Neither of us is really nervous but we both feel the pressure starting to build as we try to get everything done and try to remember all the details that we need to be thinking of. We can't wait to share it with all of you.

Music

Ron and I spent a bunch of time going through all of his CDs and listening to music that we might want to play at our reception. Here is a list of the ones that we liked most. Kyle please feel free to add any that you think would be good. We have a request for a mix of slow and fast music and would like to have a good family dancing time. I will also add a few worship dance pieces if we have anyone from the dance troupe that I was part of who come.

Happy 4th

We had so much fun at the Dover Independence day celebration yesterday!! The Bar B Q was absolutely wonderful and everyone brought such yummy salads and desserts. It was wonderful to hear so many very young children around and all the laughter of family having a good time together. I must say that I am very impressed with the family spirit I see among Ron's family and the fun that everyone has together.

The fireworks were great too. It was fun to see the guys take turns setting off fireworks and everyone sat around and enjoyed them. Ron and I were sad when we had to go and hope that next year we can stay for all the festivities.

Our first major holiday together was made more special by all of you who were there and we thank you. We are looking forward to many more independence days together and other holidays with family as well.

In case anyone has my old email I want to post a change. I have a new email RonsPam@live.com I will be using it from now on and will phase out the pamelawyke@hotmail.com hopefully by August.

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.
