Love the colors Terri. Hope your venue and dress shopping is successful. I can remember going dress shopping with my DD and believe me, when you put on "the" dress you will know it! Don't try to talk yourself out of it, just go with it. You'll be very happy when you do.

Keep us posted on the progress and details.

Love the colors you're leaning towards! Enjoy the planning!

[lexiemom]

The color scheme you chose will be beautiful!

I just came across your wedding plans thread and enjoyed reading about your plans so far. Congratulations on your engagement Terri! I loved seeing your signature picture when you first posted it! It was so sweet how your Chris got on his knee and asked you to marry him! Loved the peacock color idea. Looking forward to hearing more of your plans.

Great plans so far Terri.

April 10 - We spent today with Monica, our wedding planner, looking at the first set of wedding/reception venues. It was a LONG day. We looked at a total of five locations - some we really liked, some where eehhh. Next Thursday we head out for round two. Hopefully - not too long after that we will have picked a location for the wedding and reception.

We have asked Chris’ pastor to marry us, and he has agreed. We will be meeting with him in May, after I return from all my travel. Dr. Bruce Havens is pastor of Arlington Congregational Church, a United Church of Christ located here in Jacksonville.

We are SLOWLY crossing things off our to do list, and feel like we are making some progress. I’ve even started dress hunting, and coordinating dress colors with the Bridesmaids and Matron of Honor.

Tomorrow I get to make cruise requests for July!! Can't wait!!

Verrrrrrrry nice Terri!! You guys are coming along with the plans quite nicely and it seems quickly too!!

[lauren-roxy]

Sounds like everything is progressing nicely!!

Today was the girl's Jr Bridesmaid and Bride dress shopping day. Dsis will have to wait until we are closer to get her dress (and DN's too - since she is growing like a weed).

BTDT. Oh a mere 20 years ago, I ordered Camille's jr. bridesmaid gown in August, and in November we had to have the hem let out and the sides too.

And look, it's less than 12 months away already! I'm so excited for you!

Terri, I have NEVER seen you in a dress in real life- but I remember a pic you posted in a witchs dress at Halloween one year, I think that was sheath-y ( if thats a word) and that looked great on you- it sounds like you are making progress!

[chezp]

Sounds like you're making good progress with everything.

Hopefully you'll find the right venue the next time you meet with your wedding planner.

Wow, that is a large number of venues to consider, Terri! You didn't see anything you loved? You know, something that made you say "I don't want to look any further" Sometimes that helps a little of the stress. . . . . . I'm sure you will though. Can't wait to see it when you do decide.

Not yet. We saw some that we felt were nice - but nothing that says "yep this is it". Maybe on Thursday. If we don't find something that we just MUST have - we have the ones that we liked and we can go with one of those.
