So we’re just about 6 months away from our BIG DAY and we have pretty much chosen all of our vendors, so I figured I’d go ahead and list them on here.

Photography (Michael Brady) and DJ (Kevin Glakin): The Pro’s
This company is giving us an amazing price for booking both services through them and have been 100% in customer service from the beginning. We were able to meet both of our guys during one of their wine and cheese showcases they put on in Toms River, which makes me feel a lot better about our choice as well.

Florist: Betina’s Garden

We’re doing a mixture of pink mini callas, light pink roses, and creme roses. There will also be white stephanotis in my bouquet as well as my two MOH’s bouquets with pearls in them! Betinas is AMAZING and has come up with a really amazing quote for our flowers. Find her here.

Transportation: Supreme Limousine

We’re going to be having a 14 passenger party bus from this company who has been awesome to work with so far!! Link is here.

Bridal Jewelry: Etsy

This site is my new obsession. I found my bridal jewelry on here and am also looking into our RB pillow from here and a few other miscellaneous items as well.

My Dress: David’s Bridal

You must be crazy if you think I’m posting a picture of it! I don’t want to ruin any surprises for those who might be snooping!

Groom’s Attire: Mens Wearhouse
We chose this company because they have the exact color for the vest’s of the guys to match my brides maid’s dresses! We’re going on Sunday to check out styles too!

Stationary: T.B.D.
Unfortunately I keep changing my mind every 5 minutes what color/style/material/size/shape invitation I want! I’m really trying to convince my fiance to go for the pocket fold, but I don’t think he’s anywhere near on board with the idea =( Another factor that comes into play is our budget. I’m willing to DIY, but Angel doesn’t want me to go that route, so we’ll see what happens.

So Angel and I had our meeting with Rebecca Parliman, Catering director at Sea Oaks Country Club where our wedding will be held. We were supposed to go in to set up our dinner menu for the night of our wedding which we accomplished, and so much more! We chose all of our cocktail hour hot and cold displays, our butlered hors devours, dinner entrees, and are getting ready to set up a meeting with the cake lady for Sea Oaks. We also decided to add a signature cocktail to our cocktail hour that will be butlered around as well! I’m so excited! In addition we also chose our chair covers (ivory), sashes (celadon), table overlay linens (ivory pin tuck), and received our direction cards to place inside our invitations! The day could not have gone more perfectly =)

Where we are getting married!

So this is my first official day as a “blogger.” I’m not quite sure who is going to be reading this or keeping up with the progress of my blog, but here it goes. This blog is going to be focused around our wedding that we are planning for August 2009 and our already growing family. I guess I should explain a few things to begin this fascinating journey. A little over 4 years ago I met my amazing fiance Angel, while working at American Eagle. We started hanging out, going to parties together, and decided to move in together all within a very short period of time. Shortly after our 1 year anniversary we found out we were expecting. We couldn’t have been more thrilled. On May 2, 2006 our son Angel III was born. When Angel was about 19 months old we found out we were expecting our second baby, and on August 13, 2008 we had our second son Ayden. So our life is already filled with chaos and energy pretty much right out of the starting gate. Add to that our full time work schedules, full time student schedules, and you’ve already got a great recipe for a crazy life! Neither of us would have it any other way, and at this point we’ve got two beautiful, healthy children to be thankful for. So this blog is going to be my semi-daily notes on trying to plan one of the best weddings any of our guest’s have ever attended, while still keeping things organized on the home front. Enjoy!

Our two beautiful children!
