Things are Falling Into Place

We have managed to get a wedding party together, I ordered my dress, and we shopped for suits/bm (bridesmaid) dresses and tasted some cake too.  We still haven't decided on Phil's attire or our colors (since those may depend somewhat on what we can find in dresses) and we still need a cake baker but at least we are in the process of gathering information.  Oh, and I booked a photographer!  :D  Anyhow, thought I better post some news.  That's all for now. 

PS We took some pics in the snow this weekend-should be interesting.  I have a roll of film to get developed!

The Date is Set!

Save June 19, 2010. We have booked The Barn at Vive le Ranch in South Tulsa for that date. Note that it is Father's Day weekend.


I don't have any additional details yet as nothing else has been decided. I am currently checking on different hotels in the area to hold rooms. In the process, I did find that there is a Shelby Mustang Meet in town then so if anyone likes those cars, you're in for a treat! lol!

Stay tuned for more to come!

Burr!

I have no idea what the windchill was last night while we were touring The Barn but it was painfully cold. The Barn fits our style and is flexible which is worth a lot. The challenge is space...and hiring separate vendors to bring tables, chairs, and food. Also, June is a peak month so it costs a bit more. :(   Okay, for some pics! 

We're going to the barn

We have an appt to see this place called The Barn today after work. Cross your fingers that it's all I've dreamt it up to be! It's a cold day for a tour...something like 17 degrees and windy too! BURR. Will take pics and that could be a new project on my blog-to post pics!

Testing signature

Testing the signature once again...

It's a great day for a "green" wedding...

With an engagment in Dec 09 to Phil Kelley, I am in the beginning stage of planning an eco-wedding. Although, neither of us were excited to embark on the stressful side of wedding planning (aka meeting everyone else's wishes), we are excited to share our values with our friends and family. Hopefully, we can do some unconventional things and demonstrate a less-wasteful way to celebrate holy matrimony. I have lots of ideas and DIY (Do It Yourself) has always appealed to us. If I can stick with this blogging, it could be a great way to keep those of you closest to me in on the plans!
