149 Days and Counting

We have a videographer! Josh of Life Time Video has agreed to video tape our wedding and create a wedding video for us. I am very excited because the quality video Josh creates and the amount of time he spends developing and creating a special memento for us is unparalleled. He does a whole section for us as a Love Story as well as a slide show during our reception. He will come to our rehearsal to scope out proper camera angles and where he has to be for what. I am already excited about what his final product would look like.

We met with the cellist who is organizing the music for our ceremony. We have decided to have the VAD Ensemble string quartet play during our ceremony and our champagne reception. It was a blast meeting with her and listening to all the music that will be played. We got to choose what our grandparents will enter to, how Dave and his family will enter and how my sister, my parents and I will enter to. I am very excited about the music we have chosen as I believe it is a good reflection on the people Dave and I are and the types of music we enjoy listening to. Not too contemporary, but not overly traditional.

We have also chosen the paper to create our programs for the ceremony. It will bring some blue into the ceremony which I am looking forward to. One paper choice down, two more to go!

We have decided on what our favours will look like and how we are going to make them. We now just have to find the containers to successfully complete the package!

I am about ready to be finished with planning this wedding. Don't get me wrong, it has been a blast. However, we are starting to approach a year of planning and I am getting tired of it. I now just want the day to be around the bend and be able to start going to the spa more often, relaxing, getting my hair done, my nails done and all that fun stuff. I know that the wedding day will all be here and gone before I know it, but I am ready for it and I want the planning to be done so I will be able to enjoy the next few months leading up to the day.

Next on our list is sitting down with the parents to go over the final costs and guest list as invitations will be sent out at the end of May beginning of June. My sisters have to finalize their dresses, the guys have to go suit shopping, gifts have to be purchased, invitation inserts have to be made. Flowers and menu have to be finalized, hair and make up have to be decided on. Dress fittings will start soon, veil choice has to be made...OMG the list never ends.
