Photographers

We met with Melanie and Adam Pace tonight. They will be taking our engagement and wedding pictures and I couldn't be more excited. Melanie and Billy have known each other for a long time and he introduced me to their blog sometime after we started dating. I've checked the blog at least once a week ever since. Melanie and Adam are so talented and I know how lucky we are to have them as our photographers.

We went to their house tonight, had dinner and just spent time talking with them. We had a great time and I hope to get to spend more time with them in the future.

We're hoping to getting our engagement pictures taken sometime in January or February. I'll be sure to let you all know because it will be our first appearance on their blog. Until then, check out the awesome work they do (there are some great stories in the blog):

Thanks so much Melanie and Adam!

7 Months to go!

We're 7 months away from the big day today! My planning has slowed significantly thanks to a busy schedule at school and holiday plans. As the months keep going, it seems to be going faster and faster. I will have news in the next few days about the mock ups of our invitations! I'm so excited! I can't wait for it to be here!

Kelly Shannon gets married!

If you can remember back to a post from August, we have 3 people at school (including myself) engaged to be married. Well, the first of the three weddings has happened! Kelly put together a gorgeous wedding! Just wanted to share some pictures. Congratulations Kelly and Gary!

The happy couple!

Friends!

Some of the Corryville ladies!

Time with my soon to be sisters!

I went with Billy's sisters to Cincinnati Bride today so they could get sized for their bridesmaid dresses and get the dresses ordered! I enjoyed spending the afternoon with them and look forward to many more fun times! Thanks for a great day Michelle and Lisa! : )

Invitations

I met Erica of Paper Blossom Designs tonight to talk about wedding invitations. She is Lindsey's very good friend and I had told her before I was even engaged that I would be contacting her about invitations after I got engaged. She does amazing work and I'm looking forward to what the finished product will look like for us.

She was very helpful and easy to work with and I felt like I was sitting and talking with a friend just bouncing ideas off each other, instead of a business meeting. Billy actually came and met up with us eventually and I was happy to hear his input. I think we've come up with a design we like and I look forward to meeting with Erica again to discuss final details. : )

Eight Months Away!

It seems so close but so far all at the same time! I know I shouldn't be wishing my life away, but I honestly can't wait to start my life with Billy! This pretty much sums it up:

Happy Halloween!

Well, it seems I've been dreaming of my wedding day for a long time! I was a bride for Halloween one year when I was younger (somewhere around 1st or 2nd grade I think, I was 6 or 7). My dress will be much different from the one in this picture! Just thought it would be fun to share on Halloween!
