The Pros Wine and Cheese Reception

On March 15 The Pros had a demo in Allentown. We knew we were going to go with them, but we figured free food is always nice, plus by booking that night we actually saved a little money. So it was worth going. We mingled with a few photographers and then the DJ's did a little demo for us. Ryan was chosen to get up and dance with the DJ's, they gave him a maraca and a sailors hat (I wish I hadn't forgotten the camera!)

When one of the photographers asked me what time everything started I had to call my mom and ask her what time the wedding and the reception started, I bet that's a first for these people!

After the demo we got to pick the photographer and the DJ we wanted. We got our second choice for DJ- a guy named Tony Zonca and our third choice for photographer- a guy named Tom Malerba. We found out that our photographer lives around the corner from Ryan, and his son went to school with Ryan and he owns a photography studio in Easton. I don't know much about the DJ, but his performance was really good and he had hair like Jack!

The Invitations

Caity and Collette finally got together the other day to draw a picture of a bride and groom for the invitations.

They drew a few different things on one paper and I thought we could do something with it. But unforunately, I don't think the pictures came out as well as we hoped. I guess I was expecting a bit much. Oh, well, at least we got some cute pictures!

We finally decided to go with the popeye picture, and Robin is making the invitations for us. We were just going to do it on the photography paper, even though it wasn't traditional it looked pretty cool, but Robin saw some invitation paper in Target that I really like. So I ended up buying it tonight and now all we need to do is start printing the invitations! One more thing to cross off the list!

The Centerpiece

Robin, Matt, Ryan, the kids, and I went to the Crossings to look for centerpieces on Sunday. I had something in mind, which I've posted before, but it seemed a little to expensive. We decided that anything would be good, as long as we could both agree. We looked at Mikasa, Lenox, and a bunch of other stores but nothing really hit us.

After Robin, Matt, and the kids headed for home, Ryan and I decided to look in the Candle Factory before we met up with them again. After looking for probably about an hour or two we found this. The cylinder and the candles we got at the Candle Factory, the rocks are from the Dollar Store. (Ryan was annoyed that he spent $5.00 on rocks, but I think it was worth it!)

I bought one extra candle and had it float for about 5 1/2 hours just to make sure it will last too.
