Yea for Photography!

Okay y'all we have a PHOTOGRAPHER!

Here is her website and here is her BLOG.

As you will see, she has been doing a lot of boudoir pics right now. If you click on her wedding stuff, you will see it is FABULOUS!

She will be doing our engagement pictures (hopefully in the fall) and her husband will be the second photographer on our wedding day. I am so so so so so excited about it and she is so talented and has our vision. Simple, elegant with attention to detail, plus she is a recent newlywed so she has an appriciation for all the work I'm...er...we are doing.

Let me know what you think of her kiddos!!!

Just Kidding!

Okay, in case you didn't notice the date, the previous post was my little April Fools joke. I have no plans of doing a keg stand, our reception definitely isn't at Hooters and I'm not going to dress my bridal party in shiny gold.

Meanwhile, Evan and I ARE between two places to have the reception, Springvale Ballroom and Clifton Club.

Springvale is an Ohio landmark with beautiful wood flooring, a band stand, a gorgous, huge bar and a towering ceiling.

The Clifton Club is a beautiful facility with a baby grand where the reception would be and is also an old building with wonderful decor. Plus, they decorate for Christmas, meaning very little would have to be done by us.

The trick is that Clifton Club hasn't gotten back to us with a package that would be specific for us, so we don't know exact prices. Both places are great, but they are also very different. Oh, the choices!

We DID find out that we are having one of the best bands ever to do our wedding. While we haven't officially signed them, Scott told Evan it was a go when he had a boys day out at the Indians home opener last Monday.

What band is it? Why Sharp Circle of course!

We made some decisions!

Yes, we have made some choices about everything. Well, I am still debating on some things, but here are some pics to show you what we are thinking.


I hope Evan doesn't see this because it is MY DRESS! Yes, I love it. The bow on the bodice accentuates my smaller chest and the whole thing just looks great on me. I am hoping to add some puffy sleeves to it as well with more bows to match. It will be winter and I want to stay warm.


Since Dumb and Dumber is one of our favorite movies, we decided that we should have the tuxes in our wedding. The blue will look great with Evan's eyes.


I have shorter hair, I am hoping to cut it a little more and do something like this for the wedding day.


My ring! I love hearts and this is just perfect for me.


Something I am thinking of for my bridesmaids, matching my gold ring. The color will look GREAT on Adriane too.


But since Evan and I are also so old school, I thought these might be charming as well. Then Larry could be in a purple crushed velvet tux.


I love how he did in the Wedding Singer, I am hoping to find a band/singer like him.


This cake reminds me of Mardi Gras. I love all the feathers, it adds a classy touch to the cake.


There is a Hooters near the church and lots of hotels and the price is just right! We are hoping to have our reception there and we are trying to convince the priest to have the ceremony there as well, it will save us money!!!


I am hoping to do this at the reception since I never have! The ladies at Hooters said I could. They are super nice. I will have to make sure the photographer get a shot otherwise I may have to do it a few times. This is priceless and needs to be in our wedding album.

Let us know what you think! Oh, I'm so excited!!!!!
