Having a long engagement was the best thing I could ever do! At first I was hesitant about waiting so long to get married but when my parents were willing to pitch in and help pay, I was willing to wait as long as they want! Thank goodness I listened! (I guess you truly are never too old to listen to your Mother!). We are under the year mark until our wedding and as much as I promised Ryan I would get these blogs out to him in a timely fashion, life has gotten so hectic! In the process of planning a wedding I have switched jobs, we are trying to find a reasonably priced home in the perfect location, and every day I turn the corner, gas prices are sky rocketing! Another good reason for planning in advance - I paid 2007 prices not 2008!
So last time I checked in, I touched on wedding invitations, flowers, and cakes.I finally have all three of those locked down!I decided to go with gorgeous invitations from Tru. The wonderful ladies at Rock, Paper, Scissor in the East Hill Plaza in Ithaca, NY were such a help! They asked what I was looking for and showed me exactly what was available instead of just sending me on my own to the wedding invitation books.The ladies sat down with me and were genuine in helping me find exactly what I was looking for. One of the nicest features of Tru was the variety of options: Fonts, colors, paper, etc. I picked out one type of wedding invitation but used the response card from another to make my save the date cards… very cool!

Ok… so by now you are wondering wow did this girl fall off the face of the planet? Did her fiancée ditch her? Not at all! Summer is upon us and life is CRAZY!!!
Since my last entry things have gone bananas! Thank goodness my wedding is not for another 15 months! The three groomsmen we had lined up, all fell through. Long story… let’s just say it’s good to know who your true friends are in life, because after all is said and done you want the people who support you to be involved in your wedding. On a positive note, I have gotten all but one of my bridesmaids in for an initial dress fitting and they LOVE the dress! We ordered the beads for my wedding gown and the seamstress is currently working away at that. I also ran across an amazing jewelry maker in my travels and she does beautiful work with Swarovski Crystals. Hope Morsch of Crystal Creations sells her work at the Windmill in Penn Yan NY. Hope can also be contacted via e-mail at hmorsch@stny.rr.com. Let her know I sent you!
We are back on track and joined today by Kristen Switzer to talk about how her wedding planning is coming along. We also have our first contest entry to share and the first of what we hope to feature each episode, our tip of the day.
