I Love Sales!

So I just learned that Marie Callendar's has their pies on sale for $6.99 in the month of October! This is quite fortunate because we're planning on buying 15 pies for our reception. Amazing! Just wanted to share the good news!

14 Days, 23 Hours, 39 Minutes, and Counting...

Well, Bill and I are down to about 2 weeks. We both are way excited, but I'm seeing the tons of details and big things that still need to be done. We have finally gotten out all of the announcements, thanks to tons of help from Bill. Last Saturday, I went to a wholesale flower place with Debbi, my Aunt Kathy, and her friend, Sheila. We've decided that I'll have white and deep purple calla lilies with some greenery for my bouquet. The bridesmaids will have white with a purplish blush and the deep purple calla lilies along with lavendar roses, baby's breath, etc. for their bouquets. For the boutineers and corsages, we will use the lavendar roses. It's going to be gorgeous!

And, we've decided that we will be having wedding pies instead of a large wedding cake. We'll have a groom's cake, which will be carrot cake. But everything else on the wedding cake table will be pies! Fruit pies of all kinds: pumpkin, razzleberry, coconut cream pie, peach, berries of various sorts, and more! Yum!

So the countdown continues, and we'll see if everything that I want gets done by the day of the wedding....

Things Are Coming Together

With everything considered, Bill and I are doing very well staying on top of our wedding plans. I've been teaching getting back into teaching 5th graders, and Bill has recently begun classes at Utah Valley University. In spite of other distractions, we have many things ready for the big day. The last main part of the wedding to be planned is the reception. We (Bill and I) are going to Pow-Wow about the reception this coming Saturday, with both our moms and my two great aunts. Bill's mom has come up with some fun theme ideas, and we will need to figure out how we want to put those ideas into action. I'm excited because everything seems to be coming together!
