hey mr dj, put a record on...

we went to a wedding this weekend, and the couple had the same dj company we have hired. only their dj was NOT what we were hoping to have. so - i'm setting up a meeting with the dj company hopefully for this wednesday when we're in town doing our engagement shoot. (we didn't do it last week, because it was raining)

i want it specifically written that there will be no chicken dance, no electric slide, no boot scootin' boogie, no cheese. and that there WILL BE SLOW SONGS. because at this other wedding, there was only 1 - and that was the father of the bride dance. i'm sorry - but people feel romantic at weddings, and they want to dance with their sweeties. so slow songs they shall have.

other meetings with other vendors went great - and i had a fitting for my gown on friday - it fit LIKE A GLOVE. It looks like it was made specifically for me.

still working on the assemblage of the wedding invitations. it's a bigger job than i was ready for. hopefully, they'll go out this monday.

otherwise, we're rolling right along.

*we might put the engagement pictures off one more week - just because I'll be so busy, and I don't want to look all frazzled in the pictures! :)

Lune de miel

So many people have asked about our honeymoon - here are the details...

We are going to the El Dorado Royale in Riveria Maya, Mexico. That is right near Cancun. It is a couples only, all inclusive resort. We have reserved an infinity pool swim up casita - which basically means that we have our own little house with our own infinity pool, and someone to bring us drinks with umbrellas in them.

It will be a week-long visit to paradise! And I'm looking forward to the rest and relaxation with my brand new husband! :)

Feel free to be jealous.

this one goes out to my audience of one....

We are ready to send out invitations.



Stress: Amber, you're going to forget to send these to important people and hurt their feelings. You're going to mess up more than you have extras to cover. People are going to think these are ugly and cheesy.

Me: But, Stress... I've worked very hard on my spreadsheets, and my address book is more up-to-date now than it has ever been, AND I think the invitations are gorgeous!

Stress: Go eat some chocolate.

Me: sigh

Thus the cycle of invitation mailing has begun.
