The Groom and All His Men...

In a matter of two hours, Brian and I got everything clothing related squared away for him and his men!  Impressive if you ask me : )  Here's a little taste of what is to come...

Brian will wear this Tommy Hilfiger Slim Fit Black Suit from Macy's with a white button up shirt, black tie, and black vest!

Brian, our Dads, and the Groomsmen will wear this vest from Men's Wearhouse.

Brian, our Dads, the Groomsmen, and the Ushers will wear this tie which is also from Men's Wearhouse.

Washington Shower

Yesterday, my sister / matron of honor Catherine and my Aunt Carol threw me a Bridal Shower.  It was so much fun and I felt so loved, blessed, and special!  Here are a few pictures taken by Susan at this fun event : )

best friends and sisters: Catherine and Anna, Elle and Brittani

Look at all the yummy treats!

So many friends and so many presents!

You've got to love all the yummy and cute treats found at showers : )

Team Sisters did not win that game... but we laughed a lot!

These lovely women are going to stand beside me at my wedding : )

Catherine's happy, I'm telling people about my present, and Michelle is sad?

Something was funny : )

Reading one of the many sweet cards I received!

A table runner from Thailand that my sweet Mommy got me

Table clothes and place mats from India also from my sweet Mommy : )

Have you ever seen such a beautiful ribbon bouquet?! Thanks Catherine!

All my family that was present : )

Sisters and the best of friends!

My soon-to-be Mother-in-Law!

Love these women in my life : )

RSVP!

I could not have been more surprised to find a RSVP card in the mail today!  Thank you, Susan and Leland, for setting the example for everyone else out there : )

The Invitations Have Arrived!

Friday morning I met up with Sara of Constellation & Co. to pick up our wedding invitations... they turned out AMAZING!  I absolutely love them : )  They are so happy (kind of like me)!  And, the invitation design resembles the garden that Brian and I are getting married in : )

The envelopes are a very pretty turquoise blue.  The paper for the invitations and RSVP postcards is a pale green (although it looks off white in most of the pictures).  They are letterpress invitations, so you can feel the subtle indentations : )  Excuse the less than perfect pictures... I did the best I could with the poor lighting in my apartment and a little computer editing...

Oh... and in case anyone is wondering... the wedding will be in full celebration mode in 10 weeks at this time!

Hunt

In addition to planning my wedding and finishing my later quarter of college, I am on the hunt!  Well, technically we are on the hunt for an apartment and I am on the hunt for a HR job.  I am feeling optimistic, hopeful, and excited to see what the Lord has in store.

I love my new wedding file so much that I just have to share : )  I found it tonight at OfficeMax.  The other one I was using was great, but could no longer fit everything...

Showers in the South!

Brian and I got back a week ago from a fun Spring Break trip to the South visiting family and friends in North Carolina and Georgia.  We felt so loved, supported, and encouraged by our time there.  While we were in each place, family and friends threw showers for us!  Here are a few of my pictures from the showers : )  Thank you to everyone who came!
