Wedding bands

For those of you who are only keeping up through this blog - you'll be happy to know that the whole situation with my engagement ring, although a complete disaster, ended during the first week of May, and I do have my diamond on my finger.

Suffice it to say that the designer with whom we worked will no longer be a person we would recommend to anyone. Furthermore, I am wearing just a plain band, instead of a custom piece now - because we have been a little too burned. We are going to give ourselves perhaps a year or two to recover before trying the whole custom thing again.

Yesterday, we went to our new jeweler - J. David in Broken Arrow - and purchased our wedding bands. Because I don't want to ruin it for anyone, I will not describe them - but rather wait until you all see them in December.

But they are both beautiful. Well, mine is beautiful... Alex's is handsome. :)

We still have no DJ. I need to get on that. AND I need to finalize the chair covers, etc... FLOWERS! I need to meet with the florist. But I have a florist in mind, and I think I know what I want to do for the flowers. (But in the past few days, my tastes have been evolving. SCARY!)

We did have our tasting at the Renaissance. We are going to be serving Asiago chicken and shrimp with tomato and artichoke mashed potatoes and green beans. It was REALLY delicious! We were so impressed with our tasting. They had a room all set up with a table, and the sign outside of the room said "McMeen Gates Wedding Tasting". We had a dedicated waitress - and it was pamper-city all the way. :)

We have also worked on narrowing down options for our rehearsal dinner. Which reminds me - if you are going to be coming into town and staying Friday night before the wedding, please let me know! I need to know what kind of numbers we will be dealing with.

In fact - what would be great would be if everyone would forward their travel itineraries to me with an indication of whether or not they will need airport to hotel transportation.

Those of you who know me well know that I LOVE to make spread sheets... So - feed my addiction, and give me data! ;)

Summer is upon us, and I know December will be here before we know it. (Just think, it was nearly 6 months ago that we began this blog... seems like only yesterday)
