I really should have started this project soon after Lawrence proposed. I realized recently that I have no documentation of this whole engagement and wedding planning process. Some days I think "for goodness sakes let's just go down to the courthouse and be married already!" But then I remember my dress... I really want to wear that dress.
Seriously though, I'm totally stealing this whole blog idea from my very dear friend (and bridesmaid) Christina... Conrad. She got married like 5 minutes ago so the name throws me. She majored in creative writing and is pretty much amazing so if you go read her blog don't compare it to mine.
Moving on, here's a rundown of the nitty gritty parts of the details thus far. (Because, you know, that's what weddings are all about these days... what food, what theme, what shoes, what gown. They certainly aren't about love and commitment and all of that).
Date: November 27, 2010
Ceremony: St Paul Lutheran Church
Tampa, FL
Reception Venue: Mise En Place
Tampa, FL
The Food & Caterer: Mise En Place is a restaurant first, so our food will all be done by them. We are going cocktail style and featuring... Desserts! Carrot cake, Fruits on Fire (this involves spiced rum, fire, and some sort of sauce stuff... I don't really know what it means but it sure sounded exciting!), Cheese and Fruit platters, Truffles... you get the idea. We will also be hosting 2 dessert wines, some dessert liquors, and a fancy pants coffee station.
The Cake: Since we are doing all desserts, we really don't need a huge cake. So, our very dear friend Jeanette Neal has offered to make it for us!
The Photographer: My go-to girl for photography (Cintia Ally) is also one of my bridesmaids, so we had to hunt elsewhere. The talented Jason Mize will be shooting our wedding and I couldn't be more excited about his work.
