Boston? Was incredible. It included, a fabulous photo shoot, a fabulous dinner with a friend of fiance’s from high school that recently got hitched, a beautiful wedding, seeing old friends, getting obliterated off chardonnay followed by a pretty nasty hangover, decent flights, and an open invite to Martha’s Vineyard with a friend of mine from college who lives in DC – a friend who got me started in the college dems back in 2003…he’s definitely getting a wedding invite!
Tonight, after dinner was made and Meet the Press was watched, we did some wedding stuff. We got our proposal from the event planner at the Phoenix Park – about $5k more than we’d like so we’re going through and cutting stuff out so we can go meet with her and go over things before we put down a deposit (which we’re hoping to do after we go over everything with our parents in the coming weeks). We did our guest lists – somehow I’m inviting about 25 friends, he’s inviting about 35, i’m inviting about 30 family and he’s inviting somewhere between 25-30. Our number? Not including the ah-hem…B list (the maybes) is 119. We were shooting for 125. So it works out. I made him par down a bunch of his friends…it was at 60. I was like Dude. No.
Either way, everything is perfect. We’re clearing it all with parents – checking names. Getting addresses. Granted save-the-dates don’t need to go out till like…Christmas which is still a full 9 months before the wedding – is there any certain time frame for that? Especially if a majority of people will be traveling? Is 9 months late? Early? I’m still figuring all this out…
Bought a couple new wedding magazines for the flight, we’ve got a couple other ideas for the honeymoon – three options now, we’re going to see which is most reasonable:
1. Mexico
2. Ireland/Slovenia/Greece. Two days in Ireland then five-seven in Slovenia which is right near greece. I want beaches and apparently the beaches are just as nice as Greece but cheaper since they’re not on the Euro…o.O
3. French Polynesia – Tahiti. I’d love to go to Thailand but he said if we were going to go that way, why not just splurge and go to Tahiti…sooo we’ll see.
Later this month, we’re going to go to a cake tasting at Cake love since they do testings that are free a couple times/month. The cake at the wedding last night? Wassss increddddible. Everything was so classy and beautiful not to mention J and R looked sooo incredible and stunning and in love and just happy. I was so glad I could be there to share their day with them.
Anyhow, onward to finish the proposal changes, emailing Jess at Delicious Design Studio is doing the wedding website, my blog and fiance’s blog. Then? I’m done for the night. So much to do!
We peeked around Crate and Barrel for the registry but I think we’re going to do it this weekend 
I’m so excited!!
Anyhow, enough from me….i know you all enjoy the wedding planning updates so much
