We have some official plans!

We have almost officially booked our photographer! We're submitting our contract when we are home next weekend. (My mom is going to help me write the first wedding check, hehe!) Her name is Kim, and Philip and I worked with her at quest! She is just about the sweetest person you could ever meet, and her pictures are just plain beautiful!
Here's her website if you want to have a look at some of her work! She'll be shooting not only our wedding but also our engagement pictures this summer! :) YAY!

We've also enlisted the help of my wonderful and amazing aunt! She will be helping with my flowers and with the food! My Aunt Jean works wedding wonders and we are so blessed that she wants to help! Even though she will be helping, Philip and I refuse to let her feel like she's working! She will be nothing less than one of our favorite guests at the wedding! :)

I'm also going dress shopping next month. Sadly, I won't be able to put any details of the dress on here in case that handsome and sneaky fiance of mine tries to get a peak! However, when I do purchase my dress, I will let everyone know so you can ask me in person what it looks like! (facebook messages work as well!)

Anyway, I guess I'm really starting to feel like I'm getting married. No more pretend planning, it's time for business! yippeee!

That's it for now,
Heather

Happy Valentine's Day!

I'm getting ready to enjoy a delicious Papa Murphy's heart shaped pizza with my amazing fiance! :)

We're starting to look into Honeymoon locations. We're really liking the Caribbean because of all of it's options and it's pretty reasonably priced compared to Hawaii. Mexico is also an option, but sadly Bora Bora is out, haha. Way too expensive!

Other than that, we're kind of at a stand still on planning. I'm not sure what else I can be doing right now, since the wedding is still 16ish months away. We are deciding on a wedding photographer soon, my goal is by spring break. I hope we can get our engagement pictures taken over the summer.

It's nice having a longish engagement, but at the same time it is hard to be patient. Every time I go to a wedding, I just keep thinking.."is it my turn, yet?"
But, I know I don't have to wait that much longer!
Happy Valentine's Day all,
Heather
