Formal invites will be sent to our sponsors and entourage, but here's the information for the rehearsal:

For the actual wedding day, we're requesting (for our primary sponsors) that the women wear beige/champagne-colored attire, while the men wear a standard suit with a maroon/burgundy tie. I think we told most of you, but we may have missed a couple (especially those we told early on).

one month and nine days...

so what else do we still need to do?

• Follow up with the people who have not sent in their RSVPs (~30 people)
• Start working on the table seating
  
• Work on the program
• Draft up the time line for the day
• Buy the candy for the giveaways so we can start assembly
• Call florist to request additional flowers to place on the cake
• Finalize the rehearsal time and inform the wedding party and sponsors
• ??

those are things at the top of my list, but i know i'm missing stuff. i'm distracted because francis conveniently came by to the house a few minutes ago and is playing wii sports resort as i'm typing this out. GEEPIS! i wanna play too!

i'm loving the ears!

disneyland rocks. we went with francis' aunt a week ago.

after the wedding, we're soooo gonna get some passes.

i tried to convince francis to wear the groom's version, but his head is too big. i should have known. HAHA.

awwww

what a sweetie! when i came home yesterday, i was welcomed by a bouquet of flowers and a lovely anniversary card. it's our three-year anniversary today! with all the wedding planning and preparation, our ever-important date crept up quickly. but it was definitely a nice surprise to come home to yesterday! :-D

so...

apparently i stink at updating! so much for a day in the life of someone prepping for her wedding! OH WELL. it's been busy! i'm adjusting to living in our house and constantly going back and forth from home (yay "home"!) and the parentals' abode to transport my stuff. plus i was out for a conference in san diego, and then i got slammed by getting sick. weeeeee fun stuff...but i am now fully recovered.

wedding update?

all invitations have been sent out...so far, about half have rsvped. and the deadline is TOMORROW! c'mon people! get with the program! so i'll be checking my box this saturday to get the last batch, then i plan on sicking my bridesmaids on those who did not reply (which is funny, since some of my very own bridesmaids have yet to send in their replies). SLACKERS!

we bought our wedding rings, so we're just waiting for them to get sized before we pick them up. my mom and i did some mother-of-the-bride dress hunting, and we were successful PLUS i got me some jewelry for the wedding. WOOT! my w-gown is kinda intricate, so i only got simple jewelry to complement it. i don't want to be over-blinged out.

oh got the flower girl dresses...they are so CUTE! i was able to drop off jolie's, but somehow i need to get to sophie-kins and see her try on the dress. SQUEEEE!

OMG, francis reserved a photo booth for the wedding. without my approval too! tsk tsk. he did it while i was away in san diego...so he got all these weird upgrades, like a velvet rope and red carpet. what?!? nevertheless, it should be fun. people better use it!

we're about 53 days away from the big day. i'm excited, but feeling really anxious. gosh i hope everything goes smoothly...i want to be relaxed and happy, not stressed. hehe, i don't want dark circles around my eyes simply becuase i'm worrying too much!
