Springvale!!!

Yes my friends, we have picked our reception location at last. We even got the sample some of the food (yum!). But enough typing, let me show you the amazingness where Ev & I will have our first dance, and all that other mushy stuff.



It is an Ohio historical landmark! Read the front of the sign.


The back side of the sign.


The entrance/exit from the outside.


The entrance/exit from the inside.


Right by the bathrooms (which are located in the hallway outside of the ballroom)


The ladies bathroom...hey, I think a little space to sit and check my makeup is important!


Handicap accessible makes me happy.


How the whole room looks, sans table decor & set up of course.


The head table will be in front of this.


I don't really know what this is for, but it is still neato.


This will be useful in the winter!


A side picture of the band stand. So excited that we are gonna have an actual band to play. YES!


The bar, something we shall all frequent!

Yeah, I hope you are as excited as me! Lots of parking, right off the highway and they are super sweet and we have loved working with them thus far. YEA!!!!

It's all in the details

Evan & I are finalizing some of the reception details, though we believe we have our hall picked out, I'm looking into one other option (to be told when I know what to do). Also, I hope to badger Evan into getting pics of all his groomsmen so I can show off the bridal party.

But until then, and since I haven't written in a while, I shall give you some things that are in progress. God Bless ebay, Craig's List & fellow knotties.


Ty Wilson Cake Topper! (Evan hasn't approved of this yet though...)


Another view ( I love that she has brownish hair and he has blackish, just like us!)


Unity Candle holder (I just put in some candles to show what it will kind of look like, those aren't going to be what I use.)


The pocket folder part of our invitations (we are DIY it since Evan's mom is a paper wiz and super crafty)


I am hoping to have something like this lit at the reception site for family members and friends who have died. I saw it on another knottie's website and that it was filled with things that were symbolic of the person. I might just surround the candles with pictures and memorabilia,


We will have some people with petals or bubbles and some with these bells to ring as we exit.


I was hoping these would be larger. They are icicle ornaments and I wanted to have people sign them and we would put them on our first Christmas tree. Evan's family has multiple Christmas trees and I was thinking each year we could have a little tree just for our wedding ornaments. But I don't know if these will work or not. Sigh! They do give off a pretty glow after being in the light though.

I hope you enjoyed. Remember, these are all works in progress to be used or not. Meaning, everything is subject to change (excepted the couple being married of course!)
