The planning has begun. We've been so busy the last 16 days! We're now shooting for 8/25 or 9/15. It depends on the reception site that we choose. If you can believe it, we found my dress last weekend! It is gorgeous, and I love it. I'll be getting it altered this next Saturday so I'll be able to take bridal portraits before the Texas summer heat sets in too badly. We've decided on our photographer, Eloy Ramirez, a good friend of mine who is extremely talented! We've also already ordered the bridesmaid dresses! Erick and I decided on 'six' as the number of bridesmaids/groomsmen.
We're so excited that Owen Goff has happily agreed to marry us! Owen has been a mentor/friend to both Erick and I for several years now, he's currently the Missions/Ministerial Care Pastor at Fellowship Church. Fellowship is where Erick and I met, and it has a very special place in both of our hearts, so we're going to be married in the FC Chapel. Our next few tasks are finding a florist, cake tastings, finding a videographer, and ordering invitations! A sweet friend who works for FC has offered to design our wedding invitations as her gift to us! We couldn't be more excited to see what she comes up with. Thank you Amy! We've decided our colors: Aubergine, Gold, and Fall colored oranges...so, a warm "fall" feel is what we're going with.
We've met with a wedding planner and also one DJ so far, he was awesome. We still don't know what we're wanting to do as far a music/programming for the ceremony. A wedding planner would be so helpful, especially the day of!
Soooo....keep us in your prayers!
Thanks for the updates, Amy! I look forward to following along with your exciting plans - it's almost like I'm sitting at the desk next to you again ;)
