Our Wedding

Our Wedding Bands

They are done! They are in!!!! Our rings have been engraved, I just have to go pick them up, which I’m doing this week!

So beautiful

Last week I got a voicemail saying Darrell’s and my wedding bands were in! So, yesterday Darrell and me went to Roger’s and Holland’s and we got to see them (they are so pretty!) We both love them. Mine matches my engagement ring beautifully and Darrell’s and mine match too. We tried them on, and both of ours fit perfectly as well too. So now, we just sent them out to be engraved!!! My ring will say DLB 9/19/08 and Darrell’s will say KRLB 9/19/08. We can’t wait to get them back again!!!!

Gifts

I’m a little behind, but I did just want to mention that we have all the gifts together for the wedding party! Obviously I’m not going to say what they are on here, it’s supposed to be a surprise!!!!

IT’S IN!!!!!!!!!!!

I got a card in the mail on Tuesday! My wedding dress is in!!!!! I can’t believe it!!! I’m in the process of making an appointment for my fitting and alterations! I can’t wait!

My Mom’s Dress

Here is a picture of the dress my Mom picked out.  It should be delivered to her house tomorrow.

Shower Invitations

Now that we finished registering, I took the rest of tonight to assemble all of the shower invites. It took a while because there were a lot of pieces that went in each envelope, but I actually enjoy doing this kind of a thing. So…..that means shower invites will be going out in the mail tomorrow!!! Keep in eye out for them, and don’t forget to RSVP!!!!!!

Gift Registering

Today Darrell and me went out and finished registering for our shower gifts. Today we went to JCPenney and Bed, Bath & Beyond. It took a lot of time again, but it was fun too. Darrell actually enjoys going and picking out things that we need and/or want, so I’m glad he enjoys that!

Bachelorette Party

Saturday night was my bachelorette party (well the 1st one). It was so much fun! Thank you to everyone who came out! For those who weren’t there, we started the night out at TGIFriday’s in Schaumburg. We were there for almost 4 hours! All of the male waiters came over and gave me a balloon. We ate some food, talked, had some laughs, I got some pretty cool presents, overall just a lot of fun! (Pictures to follow). After that we went to a store called Patricia’s, it used to be called something else. Lets just say they had some ‘interesting’ things in this store, and my one friend Beth proceeded to purchase me a couple things from here! Then we made our way to The Alumni, the parking lot was packed, but we made our way inside. It was just a lot of fun hanging out with all of my friends and just letting loose and having a really good time!!!!! Thanks again!

Our 1st shower present

Darrell & me picked up our first shower gift on Saturday. My grandpa gave us the money, and we went out and got ourselves a really pretty curio cabinet!!! It’s in our house and ready for stuff to go in it. Finally a place for all of my John Deere breakables!! Plus some of Darrell’s stuff too!

Girls Dresses

Thursday was a big day for dresses! (Maybe it was because it was my birthday?!) Jennifer & Jessica’s bridesmaid dresses came in! YAY!!

Mom’s dress

My mom ordered her mother of the bride dress Thursday night! It is sooooo pretty! Maybe I’ll be able to get a picture of it for the website!!
