Best Man, Flowers and Tuxes

First off, let me apologize for the blog neglect! I'm very sorry, but school and life have been very busy and I haven't had a whole lot of downtime.

So, Billy had the last events of the Best Many Olympics on Super Bowl Sunday. The guys participated in a punt, pass and kick event and 100 yard dash. After these last two events, we went to Skyline with everyone and then went to Sean and Karianne's to add up the points and watch the Super Bowl. At halftime, the Best Man was announced and the winner turned out to be... RYAN!

I know all of the guys are important to Billy and we're honored to have them all be a part of our wedding day. I commend them all for being great sports through the competition!

Since the last time I wrote, we've gotten a few things accomplished for the wedding. My mom went with me when I went to pick out the flowers for the wedding. I was overwhelmed at first, but the woman we worked with had pictures of different bouquets and I'm very happy with all of the flowers that were picked. I can't wait to see them on our wedding day!

Yesterday, Billy and I went to President Tuxedo and Billy picked out the tuxes for the wedding. I'm really happy with what he picked and I think all of the guys are going to look very nice!

I promise not to take so long between posts next time!

Engagment Pictures and 2nd Round of the Best Man Olympics

It's been busy for me the past couple of weeks, so I'm just now getting around to blogging about what we did last weekend.

On Saturday morning, we had our 2nd meeting with Father Barry. We discussed the test we took the first time and picked out all of our readings and prayers for our wedding. Now all we have to do is talk to the music director at the church and our mass should be planned!

On Saturday afternoon, our photographers, Melanie and Adam Pace, came over and took our engagement pictures. As I told you in a previous blog, I'm a big fan of their work. They are very talented and we are so lucky to have them as our photographers. I was very nervous to be in front of the camera and by the end of the shoot, Billy and I decided we're not very good models. Hopefully we'll be better on our wedding day. I was very surprised today when my friend Lindsey sent me a text message saying, "You're engagement pictures are up and I love them!" When I got home, Billy and I were able to look at the pictures together, which I really enjoyed. I can't believe were on the loft3 blog, the pictures turned out even better than I imagined! I can't say enough how thankful I am that Melanie and Adam are our photographers. Check out our pictures here:

Back to this past weekend, on Sunday, Billy had the 2nd round of the Best Man Olympics. They started with a homerun derby and basketball. Then, they moved on to Scallywag Tag where they played mini golf and laser tag. The day ended with a scavenger hunt. I was there for most of the events but didn't get any great pictures. It was very entertaining to watch the guys play laser tag and almost all the guys really got into the scavenger hunt. The final events will happen this coming Sunday (Superbowl Sunday) and the Best Man will be announced as well! I'll be sure to let you know who ends up being the Best Man!

5 Months to Go!

We're 5 months away from the wedding. I'm feeling pretty good at this point, with almost all of the big plans taken care of. The one thing on our list I hope to finish soon is registering. It's been so much fun so far and I'm looking forward to everything that still lies ahead!
