Dave and Katerina (September 15th, 2012 at Merry Spring Nature Park) Got my Dress!!!!

[suorkaterina]

LibraryGeek, thank you for sticking with me. Unfortunately I think I've lost my interest in finishing this PJ. I started a PRT and TR for our Honeymoon and will likely include a bit of our wedding plans in there too. So please join me over there. The link is in my signature. I was hoping to finish my TR from Feb2011 but it looks like it got moved to completed TR and I can't edit it. I contacted a Mod but they never got back to me. So on some dark and blizzardy day this winter I'm going to write up the entire TR and post it new.

Anyhow, i've just subscribed to your dining review and am going to be reading it soon.

I'm sorry I've missed out on so much .....

First, I'm really sorry about your dad. I don't know what it's like to lose a loved one, especially so close to a wedding, so I'm not going to pretend I understand how it feels. But know your DIS family is here to support you with whatever you need.

I love your dress, it looks amazing on you! And how nice of DF to offer to buy your jewelry. What a great guy!

We are doing a slight "enchanted forest" theme for our wedding, too, so I started following your board on pinterest.

I hope you'll change your mind and keep us updated, even if it's just here and there.

Have a good day!

Thanks Mindy, I'm following you now too. I loved your boards!

I kind of got tired of the wedding planning. Maybe I'm just going through a phase.

For an update though:
1. We finalized our guest list, 45 people.
2. We decided on centerpieces. Large apothocary jars with pine cones, moss balls and twig balls. Alternating tables with fern fronds and candles in birch and moss animals. Also lots and lots of white candles with dark brown velvet ribbon. I'll be ordering this in January.
3. We decided on an Italian buffet for dinner. Meats and cheese and breads. Also we are skipping the cake and going for cupcakes.

And this is going to be our topper, which we'll just put on a stand and surround with cupcakes.

Actually, once i started talking about it I the more I felt like sharing

I LOVE that topper!!!! That's the Jim Shore one, right? So pretty! I think 45 is a good guest size, and DF is 100% Italian so I'm sure he would approve of your menu!

Oh, and I love all your pictures on Pinterest! I re-pinned a few things.

I hope you'll stick around and keep us updated. I am personally invested since you are getting married on my birthday .... even if I'm not around much lately.

I think you definitely go through phases with wedding planning, where sometimes you're just not in the mood or it seems more stressful than fun. But when you're in a "good" planning mood definitely keep sharing with us!

I love the topper! It's so cute. And I also really like the idea you have for the centerpieces, I can't wait to see pictures of them once you actually bring them to life!
