Hey y'all, let's play catch up!

So, I haven't blogged in a long time. Which means there's a whole lot that I need to catch you up on. Let's go with a time line.
June 16, 2010: Devin and I go on our first date. It goes VERY well.
June 17, 2010: Devin and I decide that we are going to be intentional about getting to know each other, and agree to not see anyone else until we see where things go with us.
Fast forward a bit....
September 18, 2010: Devin proposes! I'm engaged!
April 9, 2011: Wedding day!

So now I've been engaged for a little more than a month and we're smack dab in the middle of planning a wedding. We've done pretty well so far... I really want to get everything done early so that we are not stressing out about details in the last month. And honestly, that whole cancelled wedding from last year has made things somewhat easier since I already know some of the vendors I want and some that I definitely DON'T want.
Here's what we've got so far:
1. Dress: Got it 2 days after he proposed.
2. Invitations: Came in 2 weeks ago.
3. Church: Booked.
4. Reception venue: Booked.
5. Cake: Ordered! SO SO SO excited!! Got the most amazing cake EVER from Signature Cakes (www.signaturecakesbyvicki.com.) I told Vicki different things that I like, and then just told her to do what she wanted. Just wait until you taste it.
6. Photographer: Booked. Again, SO excited. I didn't even have to look around, think about who I wanted, meet with anyone, etc. Sarah Timmons of Spectra Designs (www.spectradezigns.com) will be doing my pictures. When I started my original search, I found Sarah on The Knot and fell in love with her style. She was the only photographer I contacted outside of the bridal fair I went to and she was the only one I wanted.
7. Registry: Done.


So happy. Devin is absolutely wonderful and I can't wait for the rest of our lives to get started.
