The ABCs of six.eleven.ten
A- A is for my groom, Andrew, who I love and adore and can't wait to marry!
(A terrible pic of us at the bridal show... it was the first one I found on this computer!)
B- I am not taking Bridal Portraits. We opted for an e-sesh instead. Will anyone really miss them?
C- Our favors are going to be coasters that we are making ourselves. It sounds a little crazy, but I love how they have turned out.
D- We have yet to pick a first dance song, but right now I am leaning heavily towards one by Dave Matthews Band. Any suggestions?
E- E is for our looooong engagement... It didn't seem that long last December, but now I am ready to get down that aisle.
(Engagement night! Don't mind my lack of a dressy coat... it's a long story.)
F- By the time we get married, we will have been together four and a half years.
G- Our groom's cake will probably be the most-talked-about aspect of the wedding. It will be totally unique and completely Andrew.
H- I am almost more excited for our honeymoon than our wedding day! We have narrowed our choices down to just a few... but of course we are researching it to death!
I- I am glad our ceremony and reception are indoors. You just never know with Houston weather!
J- Johnny Mathis was playing when he asked me to marry him, and this song must play a role in our wedding! (I am pretty sure this is the exact fountain show we were at when he asked, BTW!)
K- Andrew's best man, Kevin, is getting married next weekend. They have been friends since their freshman year of high school and were roommates when we met.
L- This wedding makes me realize how lucky I am: I found someone I want to marry who supports this whole wedding shindig he could live without and we have family who is as excited about it as we are!
M- Once we get married, I will officially be in the Martinez family!
N- Our baker's company name begins with an N... I have yet to reveal the second part of that story, so I will keep you in suspense. Trust me, she's awesome.
O- We are keeping our guest list to as close to one hundred as possible so we can have our ceremony in the back room of our venue.
P- Paper lanterns are going to play a big role in our day! They have been my simplest DIY project yet! (Completely unnecessary tutorial coming soon. They were THAT easy!)
Q- I am keeping quiet about some aspects of the wedding for now... I do want people to be surprised!
R- My "Something Old" will be my grandmother's original wedding ring. She married my grandpa almost 54 years ago when they were 17 and they are a perfect example of a loving husband and wife. I am super excited to carry on this tradition!
S- I haven't found wedding shoes yet. These are the only ones in my inspiration folder so far.
T- Teal is our wedding color, and the specific shade is impossibly hard to match!
U- I still have to look for some unmentionables to wear under my dress... I want them to be both cute and practical. Do such things exist?
V- Vivian is my lovely bridesmaid, fellow bride-to-be, florist for the day, amazing friend, and huge source of support for all things wedding related or not.
W- I love the personal touch that our wooden signs will add to the event!
X- It's time for me to eXamine our wedding budget. Funny how these things make money seem like no object!
Y- For a short time, I wanted our wedding colors to be royal blue and yellow. I changed my mind upon realizing that is the color scheme for Ikea and Best Buy.
Z- I still have a zillion more decisions to make in the next eight months!
PS- I had my blogger settings off so I never got an email when someone commented to me! Sorry if I seem like a HUGE jerk for not responding... fixing it now!
