Update October 27

The flowers the florist designed this morning.

Things are slowly but surely coming together. As I mentioned in the last blog Lillie and I went to Garden Ridge last weekend and bought all my wedding vases. My florist sent me a text message with a picture this morning that was an example of what she was thinking for the aisles. I will post the picture, she had to leave the stems on the Bells of Ireland because she needed them for another arrangement she was making. Of course, the vase will be much larger and I think I would prefer clear beads as to pink ones. I love how personable my florist is to just send me text messages and play around with ideas in her flower shop and let me know how things are going. I measured my vases today and sent her the numbers as well so we can get that moving along. Last Friday night, Kim, Kelsey (two girls I went to Ireland with) and Asa came over and we watched movies and did some wedding stuff. I have a bunch of matchbooks that I had bought to stamp with a rubber stamp that says "I Do" on them but the matchbooks were so slick that the ink wouldn't dry; it just rubbed off. So I went to Hobby Lobby yesterday and they had their scrapbooking stickers 1/2 price and I bought those and put them on the matchbooks. I have decided where we are going for the bridal lunch, we will go to Mimi's Cafe. We can't get too far away from Granbury since we will need to be back at the hotel around 3 or so. I figure we will get our nails done someplace in that area as well. Remember bridesmaids, I am paying for your manicure at the salon. I think the plan is to go to Mimi's for lunch then go get our nails done (or vice versa) then go back to the hotel and a lady that Kara knows that has her own sandwhich shop will bring us sandwiches at the hotel while we are getting ready there before the wedding.
