St. John's Chapel called me today...

and we have our rehearsal dinner scheduled for Thursday, November 20th at 6pm. My other choice was Friday, November 21st at 3pm...yeah...like that was going to happen!

Also, pay no attention to the hair pics...

they are just random shots to give my hairdresser a "loose idea" of how I want to style my hair for the wedding! I need to print them off in September!

Don't mind the random pictures...

I am deleting my camera software off of the computer at my house before the move, and I wanted to save my banner pics on my blog for easy access!:)

Shoes...check!

Yeah, so I had a $200 credit at Demetrios in Troy. It all started when I made a $200 deposit on a dress that I thought was "the one" a year ago. They told me then if I found a dress somewhere else, the deposit was non-refundable, but I could use it on accessories in the store. Well, I decided to make the deposit and then found my dress a few months later somewhere else. So after a year I thought it was time to venture BACK out to Troy and try to use my deposit on something I need for the wedding. My mom and I headed there Saturday and I discovered that it is REALLY hard to get accessories for your dress..when you don't have your dress with you! Plus, when I was looking at the shoes I couldn't remember how high of a heel I Do Too told me to get with my dress, was it a 1 &1/4 inch, 2 &1/4 inch or a 2 & 3/4 inch heel? So I called I Do Too from inside of Demetrios and they looked it up and told me to go with a heel around 2 inches. So I narrowed it down to a pair with a 2 &1/4 inch heel that was the most comfortable to wear for 10 hours or so. Plus, who is going to see my shoes anyway, right? The shoes ended up being $150 with a $20 extra fee to dye them a light ivory color. So, there went my deposit! I had $30 left to buy a garter and I had spent it all. I still can't believe how everything bridal is SO OVERPRICED!

Registry...Check!

Saturday we headed to Bed, Bath and Beyond super early to register for the shower. We were hoping to only spend a few hours (one or two) registering. When we got there the lady that was helping set us up with the scanner told us that we should basically plan on being there ALL DAY! We headed to bedding and scanned a bed set that we liked RIGHT away, two hours later we had scanned all of the bed and bath stuff. Then another two and a half hours later we had scanned all of the kitchen and decor items that we wanted. It was funny because I was getting so frustrated in the bath section that I wanted to call it quits, but Travis kept saying, "We got to stick with it Ramsey.!" It was kind of a role reversal there because I am the shopper in the relationship! But almost five hours later we have our official registry. We decided to just register at Bed, Bath and Beyond because they are everywhere, they had everything we wanted, they ship and gift wrap for free, and everyone can use their coupons!:)
