Venue = Dream Come True!

MYSTIC CREEK GOLF CLUB

MILFORD, MICHIGAN

We are having both our ceremony and reception at this location, which makes me very happy.

CEREMONY

I'm looking forward to having an outdoor ceremony, with green grass, beautiful dress, close friends and all of our family. The only thing is... I don't think this gazebo is very pretty.

I was thinking maybe officially tying the knot in front of the pond that is just beyond the gazebo and down the hill.

Gotta convince the fiance' and Heather the venue coordinator.

What do you think of this gazebo thing?

RECEPTION

The reception area couldn't be more perfect! With all of the windows you have the effect tat you're outside but in the heat of August we will be inside in the air conditioning. Can I get an Amen! (sorry the photo is so dark)

Not only have I completely fallen in love with this place.

I absolutely love their food too.

So this is the last venue pic ladies.

Take it ALL in.

And this is Rick and I in the parking lot.

SO happy!

SO satisfied!

SO excited about our choice of venue!

Spicey Escort Cards

Rick & I have both discussed doing something different rather than lining up a TON of escort cards on a table.

Here are some ideas we have in mind.


ONETWOTHREE
FOUR FIVE
_______________________________________________________________

ONE: The idea of hanging frames is so chic. If we did this I think we'd have to find some victorian inspired frames & caligrapher the guests games.
TWO: Rocks. How thrifty! This would be amazing any way we decided to go.
THREE: Rick & I both love(d) this spicey concept but after the candles are lit and the guests carry them to their tables are they going to be too hot to hold?
FOUR: Sucha hard decision... I LOVE, love this one, especially the colors and mixture of pattern.
FIVE: This one is AMAZING. How crafty - I absolutly love the golden buttons & how their so alike in size but different in style.

These are all so wonderdful. Sucha tough decision we'll have to make.

First Timer

I'm excited to say this is my first post.

I have had this blog for awhile now but haven't found time to put thoughts, photos & ideas up. & not to mention i'm not so sure I know how to. Bare with me...

So... TODAY there are 250 days remaining until our wedding day (August 22, 2009)! It seems like that is going to take forever but I could trick myself and say there is 8 months and 7 days (but to me that sounds longer) OR 35.71 weeks remaining... that makes it sounds like less, right? (How do you have 0.71 of a week?) I suppose if days were hours then I could complain. 6,000 +/- hours, ehhh. Any way you do the math; I am thrilled everyday to know i'm going to marrying Richard William...

Because of these little wedding things...
- He actually cares what the bridesmaid dresses look like
(their really cute - can't wait to post pictures)
- He likes making the save the dates (their STILL not finished, but I could post a pic soon)
- For awhile he was more into it than me & made appointments with our DJ & photographer
- He really wants to be involved in ALL the planning (It's amazing!)

There is so much more I want to post. I will post photos soon.
And as I said before, bare with me.
