Wedding Update

We have been going full force with the wedding plans. We are pretty much just waiting on the day to get here. Here are a few things we have checked OFF the list!

1. The location has been chosen for both the ceremony and reception, we have also selected the cake design (tasting to follow), flower bouquets, centerpieces, dinner menu, ceremony decorations, linens, invitations.


2. Booked the photographer and booked engagement and bridal sessions.


3. Bridesmaids dresses have been chosen and ordered (set to arrive before Thanksgiving).


4. My gown has been ordered, set to arrive mid-November, with bridal portraits to follow.


5. We have purchased our wedding bands.


6. The preacher has been booked, counseling to start after the new year.


7. Shower dates have been set. We will register in January, giving time to get all that Christmas stuff out of the way.


8. Mothers dresses have been purchased.


9. Drew is sitting up (right on schedule to be walking by April :) )

There are still some things to complete but again, the bulk is done and we are enjoying this time and anxiously waiting on the day!

Well, as I mentioned in a previous blog, we did have our engagement pictures taken and we did NOT choose Bell Buckle, TN. We did however have them taken at Old Fort Park in Murfreesboro. This was the exact setting we were looking for, outdoors, creek, greenery, rocks, trees, etc. Click on this link then click on Katie and Mark for a slideshow preview of some of the pictures taken. I am still waiting on my digital negatives to post some others but this will give you an idea. We absolutely love them and had such a great experience with our photographer. Mark was really dreading this session and we got in the car afterwards and he said "Ya know, that wasn't bad at all. Not at all what I expected." Whew, what a relief. :) We know the wedding day will be just as great and even better.
