Finalized Wedding Plans. Seriously. Last Revision.

After many revisions, and discussions, Jeremy and I have nixed the huge wedding plans. It didn't quite fit. We put our heads together, and for the first time in all of this came up with a plan that I am truly excited about.

We will be getting married May 23rd in Provo Canyon. We have reserved a park there for the whole day. It's going to be outdoor and casual. We moved the date up because my Washington family will be down for my brother's baby, and there is not sense in making them come again in November when the Blues and Snohomish Passes could be terrible.

The bridesmaids will be in red dresses, style and shade of their choice. Same with all of our mothers. The men will be in red shirts with black slacks and ties. The boutonnieres will be ivory roses, and the women will be carrying bouquets of ivory and red roses.

My dress I haven't quite decided on. I want something summery, and semi causal. I am looking for a white or ivory dress with red accents, although I am not married to the idea of the red so if I find something that is solid white or ivory I will be okay with that.

The ceremony will take place prior to the reception. I am excited because there is a bridge to walk over with my dad to where Jeremy will be standing.

This weekend we got the wedding favors, centerpieces, and made plans for the cake, which my mother and step-father have generously volunteered to take care of. My mom took some pictures of me and Jeremy for the invitations.

The only detail I don't have a plan for yet is who is officiate over the ceremony. Neither of us are church goers, or religious. There are non-denominational ministers available for a cost. In reviewing their websites I do like one of their vows. It doesn't bring God or anything like that into the vows.

(For the record, since the question has come up, I'm not pregnant.:P )

March Weight Loss Report

I'll be honest: I didn't kick it into gear until last Monday. However in that week I have lost five pounds. I will keep on this No Gravy train and keep on going.

Pictures to come later this weekend!

My Keebler

I hope you all can see how much like a keebler elf my fiancee looks. Isn't she cute?

We have had a lot of good times, and I look forward to a long future full of many more.

In-Laws

We are really getting excited about our May trip to California. I have yet to have to opportunity to meet Jeremy's mother, and step-mother, Tammy and Jill. It is an experience I am looking forward to, and I know Jeremy will be glad to see them again.

Of the future in-laws we have had the chance to meet it has become very apparent to each of us we are very fortunate in the respective families we get to join.

Location: Final Answer

We have decided to go with Millenial Falls in Draper. We are really excited about it. We feel it is a place that matches what we want in a ceremony facility, as well as a reception hall.

The grounds are going to make for beautiful engagement and bridal photos.
There are waterfalls all throughout the yard, and there is a cute gazebo off to the side.

It appears we have almost everything planned for. Now it's just making it happen.

The Ring

When Jeremy proposed to me in February he had a ring. I missed mentioning it in other posts. It's a wonderful ring. I apologize for not posting a photo earlier. This is one we took the other day. It doesn't really do it any justice, but you get the idea.
