Happy Wedding Wednesday!
First of all, please forgive me. I've had a migraine for 16 straight days now, so not only has my posting been minimal, so has my reading. I truly do appreciate all of you who link up and take the time to write posts day after day! I will catch up, but when I don't have to look at a computer I tend to choose not to, you know?
Anyway, I have so much to share today!
By the way, my partner in wedding crime, Kristyn from Chits and Giggles, has a new blog layout! It's so beautiful!!!
Over the AMAZING weekend at home in Ohio Andrew and I accomplished quite a bit!
We chose our readings and music for the ceremony and met with the music director, we chose our cake baker (my friend from high school!) and we chose our baker for our cookie table! Lemme tell ya, we sure did enjoy those tastings! I also researched wedding make-up and had a trial. It was terrible so I'm still on the hunt! I confirmed our hair stylist, too! Our stylist did my hair for senior prom and my sister's wedding...and she does my mom's hair all of the time! She's incredible and I can't wait for my trial over Christmas! Finally, I chose my wedding shoes! I'm so glad I wrote the post on Sunday about my dilemma because wowsah you all came through with fantastic suggestions! I found Kate Spade shoes on Amazon for a STEAL on Sunday night and am praying that they fit! We shall see!!
Here are a few pictures from the weekend:

Awwwwwwwww man, hope you feel better! Your list is looking good lady :)
Again, you have SO much done! I need to get on the ball, stat! Eek! I also hope you feel better soon. Migraines are awful!!
Wow, my list seems like I am slacking compared to yours! lol ;)

Your list gives me anxiety for you ;) Gosh you've done so much though, good job!
As for videographer, contact Columbia college and have them post a sign for you in the classrooms, and they will be able to get a student to come shoot for cheap. The students work incredibly hard because they want to build their portfolio, so in turn you get a great video for less $$$ spent! And Columbia is a kick ass school for that stuff.
I hope your migraines go away :(
I'm sure you've tried everything, but maybe try the chiropractor. (if you haven't) Mine always helps with really bad ones.
Your list always inspires me! I need to work on mine more, I feel like. But I also think I have a lot done.
Wow! Good for you girl you've got a lot done!and those cookies look oh so good by the way!
Oh so sorry about your on-going headache! I posted my updated wedding list last week. I can't believe how close it's getting! Happy planning!
