Already?!?!

Bridesmaid dresses were ordered in August and we were told not to expect them until December. I got a call a week or so ago to say they had all arrived!! Already!! I collected them last week, packaged them up and now they are somewhere over the Atlantic/on a Fed-ex truck to Michigan. Everyone keep their fingers crossed that they don't disappear!!!!!

The Church!

Steve and I will be married at First Baptist Church of Boston (It's on Commonwealth Avenue in Boston). It's a historic church - the third oldest in Boston and the fifth oldest in the United States (congregation not building). It has gorgeous rose windows on three sides. The freize on the tower was designed by Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, famous for the Statue of Liberty.
We are very excited to be married here!

Mark and Lauren Visit Boston!

This weekend, my cousin, Mark, and his girlfriend, Lauren, visited us in Boston. This was their first trip to Boston so we fit as much as possible into 24 hours. We went to Legal Seafood for some New England seafood, we went to see the Red Sox game at Fenway Park and we went on a Duck Tour (amphibious vehicle). We also made sure to show them the good shopping venues (Copley Mall and Newbury Street).
Was really, really good to see them!!

*** UPDATE: Mark and Lauren got engaged!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

P.S. I am letting Steve get all of his 'Fat Guy Lean Back' poses out of his system before the wedding. If it shows up in our wedding pictures there will be trouble!!

More Progress - What am I Forgetting?

So in the past week or so we have:

• Booked the church
• Met with florists
• Finally selected a florist (was tougher than you would think!!)
• Had a make up trial and booked the make up artist
• Had a hair trial and booked the hairdresser (she has curly hair too!)
• Booked the videographer
• Picked up the first bridesmaid dress (which arrived super quick!!)

So by my reckoning all we have left to do it pick the cake, groomsmen attire and invitations. Am I forgetting anything???
