Keep your fingers crossed!

I'm pretty impressed at all that we've been able to get done in such a short amount of time! Yesterday we officially booked the caterer, Jay asked Snowy to marry us, and Mom and I went shopping and bought my wedding dress! This is where the title of this entry comes into play: please keep your fingers crossed for me as they say my wedding dress will probably come in 4-5 months...but I'm hoping it comes sooner and definitely not later than that. I absolutely love it, it's pretty much exactly what I wanted. I also ordered the bridesmaids dresses and I hope we like them as much in person as we do online.

I finally got to talk to Lisa today! She's been in Venezuela for almost three weeks now and it's been very hard for us to get ahold of each other. There's still so much to do! We've tried one DJ and he's already booked and we've had no luck getting ahold of a number to call the guy we want to do our photography. Lisi is going to be a photographer too...but we want her to do more candid shots and I love her black and whites. I'm trying to get together with my girls one weekend in Calgary area to go to the florist and to discuss other things...but good luck having 3 nurses (including me) and a nursing student and a full-time mommy getting together!

Next up on the slate is registering for gifts (woohoo!!!) and I think we'll go to The Bay and Home Outfitters - two of my favorites! And we'll probably go shopping for wedding bands in the next month or so...and Jay is going to plan our honeymoon! Laura and Cat (and hopefully Robyn) are coming up next weekend to go to Bridal Fantasy so that should be lots of fun.

I'm so exhausted. I've gotten so excited about all this wedding stuff that I stay up so late and have to get up so early for work...not a good combination!

Cheers,
Sarah

6 months to go!

Hello all! Well this first week of engagement has been a busy one already. I've loved showing off my ring and am glad to hear that everyone thinks it's as gorgeous as I do! Jay sure did well, he picked it out all by himself and completely stunned me. I was on call for seven days in a row and worked my buns off. But all that OT that I ended up getting will work well with the wedding coming up.

Speaking of the wedding we've had really great luck booking the hall and the church and we even got the exact date that we wanted - July 7th, 2007! It works out perfectly for us because my position ends July 1st and then we can have the week after to honeymoon and I can come back to work. I would like, at this time, to introduce to you my bridal party:

I'm so thankful and honoured that they've all agreed to be such an important part of our special day. I look forward to going dress shopping with Keri and Mom this week and then next on our list is booking the caterer, DJ, photographer and getting to go to stores and register for gifts!

I could go on and on...but I better get going because I'd be here forever.

Bride to be,
Sarah

P.S. I get to pick the pictures so too bad! ;) You're all pretty goofy girls like me, that's why you said yes!
