Walking Pneumonia is great for Wedding Planning

As Nathan noted is our last blog post, I have had walking pneumonia, which should be every bride's dream. The week off work was great for wedding planning, despite feeling crapy. Here is all that we have gotten done! P.S. Contrary to Nathan's post, I did take a shower while I was sick... some days.

1. We have a Date- July 10, 2010. I have learned that having a date is essential for the rest of the planning process. "When are you getting married" is the first question everyone asks.

Why July? Well, July is Blueberry month, Firework safety month, Hitchhiking month, Hot Dog month and Ice Cream Month. All things that are very important to Nathan and I. Ice Cream month is especially fitting since Nathan wants his groomsman cake to be an Ice Cream Sundae bar. Maybe we can hitchhike to Orange Beach for our honeymoon.

2. We have a Church, Mountain Brook Community Church. Nathan and I have been going here for the past year and really enjoy it. I am especially excited that we now get to join a new Sunday School class for Engaged and Newly Married couples.

Charles Herron, a family relative, will be marrying us, which I think is very special because 26 years ago he married my parents and 23 years ago baptized me.

3. The reception will be at Matt Jones Art Gallery. I LOVE this location! As soon as my mom and I walked in, we knew this was the place to host our celebration. Very classic, yet different.

4. I found a dress! Sorry no pictures until the wedding day, but I had a great time dress hunting with my mom, future-mother-in-law, and high school friend, Sarah. And let me tell you, dress shopping is very tiring!

So that's about it. Still working on finalizing a caterer, band, florist and cake person. Stay tuned for the unveiling of the extra-large wedding party.
