Ring Shopping
April 27th, 2006 by Jennifer
Today we went down to Olympia and Brett’s Mom helped us pick out our wedding rings! I was so excited that we found the perfect set! We chose simple and elegant. My ring is a small band of diamonds and looks really fantastic with my engagement ring. Brett’s ring is brushed white gold with a thin unbrushed grove through the center.

Pier 57 Bay Pavillion

Location: Downtown Seattle
Brett is out of town so I asked my brother Larry to join me for this site visit. I’m excited since this will be the first site I’ve visited!! There was a tasting and the food was pretty tasty. Being out on the Pier, it’s a very pretty ceremony site—would over look the water, islands, and Olympic Mountains. The reception room is a little dark, no great views and slightly dated.

RYLIE SHATOS
We dropped Rylie off and she proceeded to knock Debi over with excitement. She giggled and shared the news. Keagan seemed a little disappointed, and we offered him a flower girl roll, but he declined. 🙂
Rylie is anxious to look at bridal magazine and dress possibilities. I told her that I would bring a magazine to her birthday party on Saturday. Apparently, when deciding to go bowling instead of a party at the house, she was concerned that maybe that was a bad idea because I might not bring my bridal magazines. Debi reassured her that it was easy enough to bring bowling too.
 
TYLER PETRIE
Tyler promptly called mom to tell her the good news. She was so happy that by the end of the call she expressed with a blissful sigh, “I’m sooo happy.”
She wore her shirt with pride to school the next day. Apparently none of her friends fully understood what the big deal was, but her teacher was very excited for her.
Later, she told Renee that she “always wanted to be part of something big.” Apparently for a 7 year old, the honor of flower girl is pretty “big” in the scheme of life.

Renee, Brett, Tyler, Rylie, and I all met at Cold Stone for ice cream. Rylie & Tyler thought it was to celebrate Rylie’s birthday which happened to be March 2nd. After ordering some yummy ice cream, Tyler informs Rylie that there were flower girl tryouts last weekend. She’s whispering (well, sort-of) that Rylie should to ask me to “try out”. Rylie feels much to shy, so Tyler begins to ask who I’ve selected for a flower girl and if there are still tryouts. After a long conversation, she manages to ask me if our flower girls would be her and Rylie. After I said, “Well, I’m not sure…you guys might be too old” She informs me that, “WE’RE ALL YA GOT!” 🙂 Renee proceeds to look up the average flower girl age on her phone and we torment them a little longer Continue reading ‘Flowergirl POWER!’

As the photographs show—mom did a great job with her embroidery machine. The shirts turned out super cute… Maybe Carson is right—”Grandma Rose is a Genius!”
