Sarah & Jay - July 7, 2007

It's been awhile, but we've both had the last week off and we've thoroughly enjoyed it. We went out to the farm last weekend and headed to Fernie on Monday and we stayed for 3 nights and got 2 amazing powder days at the hill! Jay and his dad skiied the last day but I decided I probably wouldn't be able to keep up to those boys so I headed back to the farm a little early and took a well needed nap.

As for wedding plans, I did finally get my ring back and it was so nice that it fit! It was all nice and sparkly for me, but I only got to enjoy it for two days and I had to give it to the jeweller on Friday before we left to have my wedding band made. I hope to have my ring back tomorrow again.

While we were in wedding country, I made an appointment to meet with the florist and Lisa and Robyn were able to join me...and thank God for that because I was definitely stumped a few times. The main flower at our wedding is going to be sorbonne lilies:

Then light pink and white roses to accent. I think it will be very beautiful. I also went and picked up my wedding earrings today and I just love them! I'm going to order a necklace to match, I think it will match the beading on my dress very nicely!

Next we go to the farm on St. Paddy's Day weekend and Mom & Dad are going to come so we can go to the dinner theatre, see the hall and the church and to meet with the photographer and hopefully caterer. I can't believe there's almost 4 months to go!

Bride to be,
Sarah

Well, Spence better give me a phone call today or by the lastest tomorrow because they said my ring would be back at the most in 10 days! I miss it so much and it'd be nice to have it for the rest of the week, because I have to give it up on Friday again to get the process of getting a custom band made. We're off to Fernie next week and I figure it'd be best to not wear it snowboarding anyway!

Not much to update as far as plans go. This past weekend I went and got some more decorating stuff for our centrepieces, but that's about it! Mom and I have a really good idea of what we're going to do, and we even started making our own pew bows. Next step is to start collecting the addresses of people we don't have and to start compiling our invitations once they are ready!

That's all for now...

Just wanted to post a quick little countdown! My ring has been gone for 4 days now and I miss it so much! Hopefully it will be back early next week. I can't believe how much we've got done in one month:

- Ceremony site

- Caterer
- Florist
- DJ
- Pastor & premarital counselling
- Wedding party organized
- Wedding dress ordered
- Bridesmaids dresses ordered
- Invitations ordered
- Tuxes reserved
- Decorations purchased/rented
- Accomodations
- Honeymoon being planned (by Jay!)

Woohoo!

Well, after waiting for awhile and dealing with a rather strang lady at Moores, we were finally able to sit down and pick out the tuxes. It was really easy, Jay had a good idea of what he wanted, and surprisingly Adam and Stefan and Jay together thought it would look nice if the groomsmen wore the same tux, vest, and tie as Jay...but to have the vest and tie pink! I'm stating it this way because I know no one will believe me - this was not my idea or request! This was the boys' decision and when Jamie and Robyn were up here a few weeks ago, Jamie thought it would look nice to wear pink as well. So here is what it will look like:

Looks pretty snazzy, as Laura put it! And Jay will have a white tie and white vest. I think we'll all look very nice together!

Hope you enjoy,
Sarah

Yesterday I dragged mom out and she finally got in "Mother of the Bride" mode and we went to Michael's and pretty much bought all of the decoration stuff...or a good majority of it anyway. We also went back to the decoration rental store and got some stuff for the church and all that fun stuff. I think now we can really take a breather because all of the big stuff is officially done! I'm taking the boys...let me rephrase that - I'm making the boys go to Moores today to go tux shopping! I'm just a little worried about our date so better to go now than the recommended 3-4 months before the wedding. Then Jay and I are going to go to The Bay to do some more registering. We registered for a lot of nice small kitchen appliances at Home Outfitters, so we're going to go for the rest of the stuff at The Bay. Yes, we're going on Superbowl Sunday, but the game doesn't start until 4:30 and we dont't really care so much about American football. Before we go tux shopping and to go register...I think I'll reluctantly give up my engagement ring for about a week or so :( Time to get it resized so we can get the wedding band made. I'm hoping to only be without it for 2 weeks in total...but it's still gonna suck!

That's all for now!
