A lot has happened in the last couple of months as we continue preparations for the wedding.  Luckily all of the big stuff is now settled, and we’re just working on minor details.

First, and most important in my book, is that we have secured a band for the wedding.  Higher Ground, of Tropics Entertainment, will be playing for our wedding.  We had a lot of long debates, with a lot of people, about the pros and cons of DJ versus Band, but in the end when we saw Higher Ground play in person, we knew they were going to make sure we had a great party.

I also bought a wedding gown, which I won’t be describing on the blog. (You’ll have to come to the wedding to see it!)  The process of buying the dress was not as bad as I thought it would be.  With Catherine, maid of honor at my side, we actually had a pretty fun day.  My favorite part of the day was when one of the sales people said, “Ok, Christine you stay here.  Cat, why don’t you come with me and let’s pick out some dresses for Christine to try on.”  Perfect!  Please, let my sister do all the work!  I love that.

We also had a fun day with my bridesmaids picking out bridesmaids dresses.  I decided early on that I wanted to do something a little different with these dresses.  I picked the color and designer of the dress, but I let each girl choose her own dress style.  I’m hoping this will mean that each girl is comfortable in her dress, and I think it’s going to look really cool in the pictures!  We’ll see.

There’s still a lot to do, but we’re getting closer and closer.  Can’t wait for November 4th to come!
