Bows on coursages

Today I gave the coursages that Christin and Shaina made to a friend of mine to put bows on them. one more step toward the wedding! Also, I talked with Lora, a friend of Christin's, who will be handling the sound and DJ duties. We will be making a trip down to Mead Gardens to see what equipment they have and what we need to find.

Oh, Christin will nto be having her wisdom teeth taken out before the wedding. It was just too risky and not enough time.

Bridal Shower and Wedding Favors!

Yesterday (February 7th) was Christin's Briday Shower. Meghan, Rebecca, and Shaina did an absolutely wonderful job putting together the food, decorations, and games! We had a great time with lots of friends and family. My neice was able to come to the party while my brother went to my house. One of the young guests was at her first bridal shower and made the cutest comment to her mother about giving Christin a bath! Her mother explained to her that we were all showering her with gifts and love. Christin received some great marriage advice and we all were able to laugh about memories about her growing up years.

Tonight Christin, Aaron, Rebecca, Josh and I put together the wedding favors.

We had everything but the honey sticks. It was an adventure getting the honey sticks, tho! We were to go down to Lake Eola to pick them up, but the honey lady had forgotten them at home. It was a wasted trip downtown, but we discovered a great Farmer's Market there so we will be going back on day. We picked up pizza on the way home and met Aaron here at the house. Then we made arrangements to meet the honey man halfway between our houses. After we ate Christin and I jumped back in the car and headed to the meeting place. The honey man was late due to one of his beehives swarming?!?! I know nothing about bees and honey, but it sounded serious! We finally had the honey sticks in our possession! Back to the house we came and as soon as Rebecca and Josh arrived we started making the favors. We each had a particular job and worked as an assembly line. We stuffed little green personalized bags with all the items the wedding guests will need to make a cup of hot tea. Hopefully they will enjoy their tea while relaxing at home and remembering the wedding.

28 days until the wedding!
