Engagement photos

So, Katie McGee - of Katie McGee Photography - is quite a talented lady.  Seth and I had our engagement photos done last night on the Horseshoe at USC and at the South Carolina State Fair!  If you haven't seen them on our Facebooks yet, here's one of my favorite (ok, I love them all...)

Yup.  We're cute. Katie makes us look so good. 

I can't wait to see the rest of them.  I'm hoping the ones at the fair are this awesome. 

Ok... I'm going now.... :)

Welcome home! Now - PLAN!

When I come home, my mom and I go on these wedding planning rampages (for lack of better word).  They are intense and awesome.  I just feel inspired about things now!  We were at Ace Hardware last night (my dad is renovating his bathroom, bless him) and I found these really unique pew decorations.  They are much less expensive than if we'd chosen flowers, and they are very much me and Seth (ok, mainly me, but he'll love them). 

Then, today (while watching Auburn and Carolina football!), Mom and I rocked out the centerpieces for the reception.  We've actually been planning on buying them for a few months, but today we found them for less than half of the original price.  You can bet we bought them!  They, also, are not flowers and are quite unique.  

What else have we done?  Oh yes, I might have found my shoes and other accessories.  We have an idea for decorations at the front of the church.  Our engagement pictures are scheduled for Wednesday, and I can't wait.  Seth has been diligent about working on his part of the guest list, for which I am grateful and also ashamed, because I haven't been proactive on mine!  We're waiting for our invitations to go on sale and for us to have a roundabout number for the guest list before we order, but they are designed and ready to go!  I think they match the wedding theme perfectly (which, by the way, is a garden theme - in an indoor church way).

I think that's all we've done this week.  I mean, I got a car Thursday so that took up a good chunk of time :)

I know we need to figure out a new poll, so let me know if you have any ideas! 

Well....It's been a while

I am sorry that I have not posted in a while. I have been extremely overwhelmed with work and school and have spent my remaining time with Shelley or with Jon playing ping pong. I am excited on how the planning is going. We are probably doing our engagement pictures next week (and I am really excited about them..the location is going to be awesome) we will post some as soon as we can.

About the cakes, both will be really good some come ready to get some good food and cake.

I just want to see if anyone can guess the location of the pictures....so reply and try to guess where we will be taking them (if you know don't guess) and if you get it right i might buy you a candy bar

Ignorance is Bliss

I have to admit, I have thoroughly enjoyed forgetting that Seth and I are responsible for planning our wedding.  That is, until I remember actually how much we have to do that still has to fit within the budget.

So... we'll probably make final decisions on invitations over fall break.  We should also be getting our price list from the florist soon, so that will be nice to finally know if we've budgeted correctly for the flowers.  Seth and I will work on our music preferences as soon as we're together for a few hours (and not doing homework or watching Netflix - see the priorities!).  Food choices should be easy, but hopefully we'll get them done by Thanksgiving.

I think the biggest project for us to work on right now is our guest list.  We worked on it a little the other weekend when we were driving back to Cola, and it was getting big :)  Now, don't get me wrong - I think bigger is better for my wedding (and the only costs it affects are invitations, postage, and food), but we have got to not invite everyone that has ever been a part of our lives.  Anyway, we've got to get people's names and addresses ASAP, and we've got to set up a nice Excel spreadsheet that will make my mother happy :)

On a really awesome note,
Seth has found some really exciting information...
Cupcake in Cola offers wedding cupcake tasting sessions.

YES, please.

I have no idea what the next poll should be.  Do you?  If you do, please suggest it!
