Ta-Da!

Sorry, this post won't actually include any pictures - or really any "finished product."  However, that's how it feels to get so much done this weekend.  Sadly for us, "so much done" translates to "lots of money spent."  But, seriously...check out what all we have accomplished since I got home Friday night:
  • Tried on, picked up, and paid final amount for my wedding dress.  Did I mention a woo-hoo for this one?  Because, seriously....I LOVE my dress!
  • Ordered wedding bands through a lovely Etsy designer.  We can't afford the "ideal" wedding bands right now (we found those...they have diamonds and are lovely....just out of the "now" budget).
  • Ordered Crissy's wedding shoes for the wedding.
  • Ordered my shoes for the wedding.
  • Picked up a very pretty pair of earrings for Crissy for the wedding - and they were a fantastic buy!
  • Bought a whole bunch of wine and 2-18 packs of beer for the wedding.  No worries, there's more beer on the way....
  • Found an AWESOME dress for me to wear for the bachelorette party and some other fun stuff coming up.  I don't always like things once they're on me....and finding a dress that fits really well isn't the easiest thing.  But, this one....it's fantastic!
  • Bought bamboo torches to use with citronella for the reception area to keep some bugs away.
  • Found Crissy a bachelorette party (and other fun stuff) dress.  It's such a fun dress - and she looks great in it!!!
  • Crissy also found a fantastic pair of heels to wear with her sassy new dress.  Well, in reality - I found her a pair of shoes.  But, they're for her....
  • We each found hair accessories.  I'm so excited to wear mine!

On top of that, my parents were wonderful enough to make a trip to UFS today to pick up far more vodka than most people buy in one trip and a bunch of other beer.  Not only were they nice enough to go and buy it, but it's even more appreciated since they didn't have much warning for it.  Thanks dad & Linda! :-)

While the rest isn't done as of this very moment....Crissy's parents are also buying/ordering some of the other stuff we need this coming weekend.  Things like paper lanterns, tablecloths and our remaining mason jars.  Thanks Mark & Ladonna!!

So much is finally coming together!
