88 days to go!
We actually purchases the vases that we are using for the centerpieces a few months ago ... but we recently just decided that we want to use black sand in the vases under the white candles (to not only "catch" the wax but also to incorporate more of our colors (black and white) into our centerpieces). The actual vases are round 5" bubble vases and we will be using black sand and a 3" white pillar candle. The vases will be placed on 12" square mirror tiles (that our venue supplies) and then we will scatter red rose petals around the vase on the mirrored tile. Once we purchase the sand and candles I'll be able to post a centerpiece trial ... until then I need to remove all the stickers from the bottom of the vases and wash them all ... and I'm on the hunt for cheap white pillar candles!

89: Tux selections complete
89 days to go!
Today we ventured to Men's Warehouse and made the tux selections - and let me just say, it was a pretty quick and painless experience. We went with plain black jackets and pants with black vests and ties ... except Jon will be wearing an APPLE red tie and vest (to match my dress)!

91: We're gonna be movie stars!
91 days to go!
So, we are gonna be movie stars in our very own wedding video! We met with and booked an amazing videographer today - and we are so very excited to work with her! Her video's are amazing and we are very excited to see what she captures on our wedding day. We booked Jami of J. Concepts Productions! Please check out her work - like I said, her videos are amazing and there are some samples on her website!
Originally Jon and I had decided not to book a videographer but after my cousin Judy was ordained to perform our ceremony and then Jon and I sat down and wrote our ceremony and vows we just knew that it was nothing something we could pass up! We wanted someone to capture all the memories and special moments of the most important day of our lives. We are so excited that Jami will be the one to capture our day and make those memories into an amazing video that we can share with our family and friends!

92: Stage two complete
92 days to go!
Last night we completed what I call Stage 2 of the invitations. I guess I figured that Stage 1 was the actual printing and Stage 2 was the attaching of the invitation panel to the pocketfold. Stage 3, 4, 5 & 6 (applying postage to RSVP cards, stuffing and closing pocketfolds, and stuffing envelopes) will take place as soon as the postage arrives in the mail ... until then, I'll be waiting ... and knowing myself so well, I'm sure I'll be impatient about it.
Edited to include:
The assembling process of Stage 2

93: And the assembling begins
93 days to go!
Now that we've "finalized" the guest list and finished printing the last few RSVP cards and envelopes we can begin the task of assembling the invitations and that is tonight's #1 goal. When I get home from work I will get our "assembly" table ready so that when Jon gets home we can get busy and get the invitation mats securely attached. We've got to wait for the stamps that I ordered for the RSVP envelopes to arrive before we can stuff the envelopes but after tonight we hope to be one step closer to having these completed! I'll try to rememer to take some photos of our assembly line tonight and update later ...

94: Tea party!
94 days to go!
My maid of honor/cousin Farina and my matron of honor/best friend Kylie are throwing me a Bridal Shower Tea Party in early February! I'm very excited and I've spent the majority of this week focusing on the details and decision making of this special event with both my cousin and best friend.
The days are ticking away and every day is one day closer to the BIG day!
