After many decisions… tuxes are ordered from:

THE TUX SHOP
825 Bellevue Way
Bellevue, WA 98004

Who knew picking out tuxes could take SO LONG??!?

It’s official. ONE WHOLE INVITE IS DONE!

Tomrrow I am going to go purchase the paper (hope they have it all!) and get started on the next 59. Watch for your custom designed invite in the mail soon!

Our friend Matt has been so generous to take care of our ceremony and reception music needs. Today I met with him and we looked at the space to figure out speakers. It was nice to check another thing off the list and have someone you can absolutely trust take care of it!

Of course, we had to finish the adventure off with a nice dark beer and lunch at the New Orleans. Yum!

Whitney’s Officiant Outfit

Whitney, Samia, Sarah, and I kicked of “girl day” by getting our nails done at Tina’s nails. It was a great time that was full of laughs—and some bright nail polish!

After, we headed up to Alderwood mall. Samia was on a mission for her wedding shoes (red of course!). She made that salesman work for sure! Ultimately, she found a lovely pair of creme round toed patent leather mary janes with black piped trim. VERY cute!

This AM, Renee and I met at Cafe Ladro (best place for a caramel macchiato by the way!) to discuss wedding and shower plans. For those of you who do not know, the shower is taking place May 25th. Details to follow.
With so many of my girlfriends offering up help for the shower and bachelorette, I am very excited for the weekend!

Today was THE DAY to do invitations with Whitney and Rachael. Big plans were made.

In hind sight, 1 bottle of champagne, and nearly 1 bottle of vodka might not have been a great idea to consume between the 3 of us in 3.5 hours. BUT, the upside is we sure did have a lot of fun! We managed to eat some good food, start bread on fire, have “budgetary” discussions, go out and play on the playground in the rain, lay in the bark, and warm back up by the fireplace.

At 6 pm, we headed to Red Hook for dinner. Poor Rachael wasn’t feeling so great. Whit and I proceeded to split a beer and dinner, then she came back to my house to finish the last glass of champagne while we chatted.

Totally unproductive, but a good day none the less.

Does anyone know the name of this flower? I found it in pink today at Top Foods, so pretty!
