Wedding Shower

Over Thanksgiving break, me, Lyndi, Lori, Kara and mom started discussing the wedding shower. We are going to have it on Saturday February 19 at Aunt Naomi's house. That's about as far as we got. I am still working with my florist to get everything finalized. I called my cake baker today  and touched base with them; The cake I chose is a 6X9X12 round white cake with lemon/raspberry filling.I just wanted to make sure everything was still going as planned since they are coming from Fort Smith. My dad used to work with the Co-owner so he agreed to drive it to Granbury since her husband, Larry, has family in Kerrville which is about a 4 hour drive from Granbury.

Katie and Jake's Wedding

I would like to congratulate a good friend and co-worker of mine, Katie Hardman (now Mittag!!). They got married tonight! I had the pleasure of making food for her reception. It was a beautiful wedding, and I only cried like three times! Despite all the mishaps she encountered during her engagement, her wedding was beautiful and so was she. I also learned a lot of great tips and stuff to do at my wedding. For one, bring floral bouquet bags (the clear plastic ones) to put flower in and send home with guests. Donna (my boss) and the whole team of decorating/setup/etc crew had some great decorating ideas I loved! And most of all, despite the people that don't share your enthusiasm or aren't as supportive as you hope them to be, share your enthusiasm and lean on your support from your best friends and those who love you most. Katie has been blessed with some wonderful friends. Her bridesmaids and maid of honor care a lot about her and helped her out so much, as did our boss, Donna. Congratulations Katie and Jake.

Wedding Punch

I know we went through this a long time ago but somewhere in the midst of the move I have lost the wedding punch recipe we were going to use. So if you have any recipes can you email them to me again please!! (Oh and I know this isn't wedding related but does anyone know where I can get a casserole carrier without having to order one online?)

Wedding Night Hotel Booked!

We have officially booked our first Wedding Night hotel to the Courtyard Marriott downtown Fort Worth! Kara has agreed to drive us to DFW that morning for our flight to Jamaica (thank you Kara, we love you!). I am probably going to book that $39 flight from Tulsa to Dallas for Thursday March 17 at 9:35pm so that I can be there Friday morning getting things done (trial run on makeup with the artist, hair stylist, etc, etc). We're still trying to figure out all the travel arrangements and stuff though.

137 days until the wedding!

I sign up for classes on November 8th for next semester. I should be able to work my schedule so that I have no classes on Friday. Ryan (our Usher), Jourdan (groomsman), Lacy (Bridesmaid), Brett (groomsman), and Kara (bridesmaid) will not have to worry about working around class schedules. I'm not sure about anyone elses schedules as of right now but hopefully it will be good for everyone else so that taking off on Friday or something may not be an issue. I may try to fly down there on that day so I can get some stuff done, I'm not sure yet. I am not sure how we are going to work the vehicles out and who drives our vehicles back or what. If anyone is interested in carpooling you might want to try to start figuring that out so we know who has reliable vehicles, etc. You can actually book flights now from Tulsa to Dallas Love for around $34 (non-refundable) but you would probably want to rent a car once you were down there. Does anyone else know about their schedule? I'm not sure when rehearsal or the rehearsal will be so I don't want to schedule or plan that until I know who can be here at what time. I know it's still early but as those of you who register for classes know you schedule, if you don't mind let me know what your Friday's look like so we can start planning the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner.
