My best friend got married almost two years ago and they sent out Save The Date magnets. I thought this was a great idea since a good place to keep anything in our household is on the fridge. I probably will need to ask him where he got them but in the interim,
MagnetStreet appears to be pretty reasonable. The date is set for Saturday,October 16. So I will probably start getting these sent off around May or June.
I've also spent the last two weeks perusing several bridal sites:
theknot,
perfectwedding.com,
weddingchannel.com... the list goes on. Each one of these have similiar wedding planning tools. I really like the planning tool at PerfectWedding because it gives a day to day guide. The only drawback is that the site is really slow.
The next item on the list -- wedding dress!! David's Bridal has extended their $99 Sale to this weekend, so my friend and I are heading to Oxnard on Saturday. In Santa barbara, we have appointments at two bridal boutiques. Neither of them allow photos to be taken while trying on dresses. Bummer!
Went on a tour with Alison of
EventsUnlimited to the
private estate in Summerland today in the pouring rain. I absolutely love it. It will be the perfect backdrop for a romantic rustic (but not country) wedding. Hopefully I can book this venue within the next couple days. Although the site fee is in my budget, the fee for the wedding coordinator may not be.
On a down note, Kevin and I had an disagreement tonight about.................God. I consider myself a Christian although I haven't set foot in a church in over 5 years. But I believe in God and want to raise our children in a Christian environment -- possibly going back to church. Kevin is an atheist and he pointed out with great asperity that he would not go to church and vehemently forbade me from taking our (future) children to church. We left our disagreement without surcease.
