Woodchuck!

Posted by John

This news is about a month old, but for those that haven’t heard, I managed to secure a keg of Woodchuck for the wedding reception!  Glorious Woodchuck.

In other news, bachelor party festivities kick off tomorrow at noon, so I need to rest up tonight.

One Month!!

Posted by Francie

Ahhh!  30 days to go :) :) : )  So exciting!  Things are coming along great.  The showers were all amazing and fun, all of the big stuff is pretty much set up.  I need to meet with some of the people to confirm things, and put together decorations and favors and such things.  Hoping to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather soon, too.  Today I went over to my grandparent’s farm and visited and saw baby kitties that were amazingly cute!  Things are about to get pretty busy here soon, with events going on every weekend now until the wedding.  This Saturday my friends Tessia and Dustin are getting married, i’m so excited for that!  All next week I am on call, which I am totally NOT excited about except that I will be happy when it’s over.  The next Sunday is my birthday, which I am excited for, but not as much as usual this year as it is kind of dwarfed by upcoming wedding, which is okay :) , 26 is not so exciting anyway.  The next weekend is my bachelorette party, followed by my sister’s confirmation the weekend before the wedding.  It’s all going to go so fast!  I can’t believe it’s down to one month away!

Invitations

Posted by Francie

The invitations are done!  I sent most of them out in the mail already, with just a few left to give to people. :)   It was easier than I thought to put together, I really like how they turned out.  It’s going to be a lot of fun to start getting those RSVP’s!

In other news, I LOVE showers!  They are so much fun!  The games were a blast, and I love all the gifts, thank you so muc hto everyone who came!  We had the Pistick and Hess ones the last few weekends and I’m soooo excited for the one in Ottawa this weekend!

That’s about it for now, I have another dress fitting tonight!  Those are a ton of fun, too, it’s looking great!  I’ve also been working on a slideshow (with John’s help) of pictures to show at the reception, it’s almost done.   I’m starting to get very excited for wedding!

Christmas Fun

Posted by Francie

Hello :)   Time is really flying, just over 6 months now!  Been very busy getting things ready for Christmas and doing fun things like planning our honeymoon.  We are going to Australia!  WOO HOO!  We will be spending about 2 weeks there, we are so excited!  We’ve got all kinds of fun things planned like seeing the Great Barrier Reef and the rainforest, going to big zoos, cuddling with koalas, and SO much more.

We also booked a block of rooms at Country Inn and Suites for our guests for the wedding.  They are a very nice place, and the people there were great.  We’ll put up some more info soon about booking there and directions and lots of other fun stuff.

Other than that, there is not too much more planning to do for awhile.  I’m kind of at that in-between time of booking everything and then getting busy again closer to the wedding.  Time to catch up with other things and enjoy Christmas :) .

8 Months To Go!

Posted by Francie

Wow! We’ll be married in exaclty 8 months!! Things have been going great. My new favorite thing in the world: wedding dress shopping! It’s seriously about the most fun thing I have ever done in my life. I have not decided on one yet, but I have several that I love- deciding is so hard! In other news, we have a photographer, Laura Luhn, who will be great, she came very highly recommended. We also have a DJ, Terry Blevins, who I work with at Dayton Children’s; he is a great guy and a lot of fun! We also ordered some super-cute save the date cards from shutterfly. Hopefully we’ll be sending those out in a month or so. Our pre-cana stuff is going just fine. Other than that, not much to say, just enjoying life. :)

Woo Hoo!

Posted by Francie

Well hello there friends :)   I think i’m finally starting to get the hang of how to use this page.  Thanks to John for putting it up and teaching me, i LOVE IT!  I can’t wait to do more with it in the future like wedding details and registry stuff.  Tomorrow we are going to my parent’s for dinner and to look at a few reception halls, should be fun.  I’m keeping my fingers crossed we find something great, it will be nice to have that all set and be able to plan more of the fun stuff.  That’s all for now, more to come!
