Our Wedding Blog: August 2006

Bridal Shower

On Sunday, August 20th, my mom and sister surprised me with my bridal shower! Robin told me she had an appointment with Bridal's by Sandra to get her dress cleaned and midway through our trip down there she told me they had to push back the time. She asked if we could go to the Water Gap Country club because she had never seen it. Once we got there she basically pushed me into the room. I didn't want to go in because I thought something must have been going on since the door was closed Obviously, something was going on.

I had a great time, I hope everyone else did. Thank you all for coming and for all your help ahead of time, you really did surprise me! I loved seeing everyone again and I can't wait to see you all again at the wedding in November.

Here are some pictures from the day. Add your comments as you see appropriate! If you have any other pictures from the day, please e-mail them to me; I'd love to see them.

Tuxedo Fitting

After Chris and Alana's Wedding everyone got together on Sunday, August 6th to get fitted for the tuxedos. The Ushers all got theirs and the father's picked out theirs as well. Since Mikey couldn't make it on Sunday, Ryan made a special trip with him that Monday. Looks like we are almost set for the wedding!

Updates and Reminders

First, I wanted to mention this last week, but I forgot. Currently, all the rooms at the Water Gap Country Club are available for November 18th. Cost of the rooms are very cheap, around $60-$80 a night. If you are interested in booking a room there, I suggest making the reservation now, even though this is a golf resort, it still the week before Thanksgiving, rooms could fill up.

Ryan and I went on a search for wedding party gifts. I guess I'm not suppose to tell everyone what they are. But we will be ordering them in the near future!

A minor mishap has a occurred with the invitation. Unforunately, they have to all be redone. I'm excited about that! No matter what they will be going out by the end of this month.

Finally, for all bridesmaids! Ryan went to go pick up Robin's dress on Saturday. When we looked at it on Sunday, we noticed some marks on the stole, it's not to bad, but please everyone---check the dresses carefully before leaving the store and signing anything. Here is a picture of the dress and my very pregnant sister.
