Are we going to actually spend money?

Greg and I still haven't actually spent any money on the wedding aside from the rings that he purchased over a year ago! We have decided that we want to put money down on the reception hall so we can start getting rid of that big expense, but the hall is waiting for their 2007 menu to come out so we can get the contract situated and signed. I do have an appointment scheduled for next Friday where I hope to get a contract and give a deposit!

We might also have our photographer picked out! I was a little worried about being able to find someone who was willing to hand over the images that we get taken in good quality digital form... For those of you wondering what that means, reprints will have a cost of where ever the images are printed!

I met with a photographer from AKA O'Mara studios. Anna is the photographer and I got a great vibe from her! Her pictures online were good and her printed images were even better in person. I think (and I hope) that I asked all the right questions. I know I probably missed some, but.. what can I do?

Now - in the next week or so, we may be putting money down or a photographer and signing a contract with her! That seems like an awful lot of things taken care of!

First Bridal Show

I bravely went to my first "Bridal Show"... And I didn't make Greg go with me! I made Jenny go with me instead ;)

A very talented photographer that I know got me passes to the Brides to Be bridal show in Clinton Township, Michigan this past Sunday. I was a little nervous about going because I didn't know what to expect and I don't like large crowds of people like that. It was hot, crowded and some of the vendors were pushy. It was nice to see ideas and things I know I do not want... My favorite thing to get to see was the centerpieces for rent that were not expensive and looked nice. I cannot recall the vendors name, but I am sure I have their paperwork in my big ol' bag I got when I registered!

We got there just in time to sign up for the door prize drawings, which was the main reason I wanted to go. I was hoping to win a honeymoon or something! :) A few very lucky girls did win.. so there is hope yet!
