Now that it's 2009, September 12 seems a LOT closer than it did back in 2008. I'm very excited, but also realizing how many little things need to be accomplished between now and then. I decided that it was time to get back into planning mode and started by working on the Save the Dates. One of my friends from WSU (my G-Ma, for those who speak Sorority), as I've previously mentioned, is our very talented photographer. After searching on and off for weeks online, I couldn't find any form of a Save the Date that had everything we wanted, so finally I asked Kristen to help us out. I'm SO happy I thought to ask because I think that the finished product (seen above) is even better than I could have hoped for. Anyways, be on the lookout for your Save the Date in the mail. It will be magnetic, because I know how badly every one of our friends wants us on their fridge.

The next step I'm taking in the wedding planning is trying on dresses and tasting cupcakes. I'm thinking those two pieces of the wedding probably shouldn't be related in any way, but we're going to do it all in one weekend anyways. Saturday I have appointments at David's Bridal (a safe place to start, I think) and Cynderellies Closet which is in Edmonds. We'll wrap up that day with a few samples from Cupcake Royale in Ballard. Then Monday I have appointments at Amanda's Bridal Boutique in Redmond and then La Belle Elaine's in Seattle, followed by cupcake eating at Trophy Cupcake. I don't want to go into the cupcake tasting biased in any way, but I've been waiting to try a Trophy cupcake for months. In the end I want to go with the place that can go along with my vision of a cupcakes tiered to resemble a wedding cake in our colors while being the most cost efficient... But then again I might want to go with the place that offers toasted marshmallow for frosting.
I'm sure that I will be forced into a tiara or poofy veil by a team of saleswomen and my mom, so I promise to post pictures of what should be a day of boundary pushing for me. In a good way though... I think. At least I'll have a good number of my bridesmaids with me for support.
