Shane and Crystal

Yesterday, I was given a shower by four ladies at church (Karen Carp, Cindy Smith, Ginger Tumlin, and Carole Scroggins). It was a sweet shower and we received some really wonderful gifts! It was a brunch (10:00 am) and the food was delicious! The cake was so cute…it looked like a toaster [...]

This past Friday evening we had a little “bachelorette’s night out”…we had so much fun! Natalie, Linda, Jennifer, Brandy, Candy, and I all went to Brio Tuscan Grille in Buckhead. I had to wear dress up beaded necklaces, dress up chandelier earrings, and a dress up tiara with a veil attached. I [...]

This past Saturday, we had a shower that involved both sides of our family.  It was held at my Aunt Jennifer’s lovely home and it was so much fun!  The shower was given by my Aunt Jennifer, my cousin Kristi, and my Aunt Diane.  They did a wonderful job with the food and the games!  [...]

Yesterday evening my mom, four bridesmaids (Natalie, Brandy, Candy, and Jennifer) and I had an “invitation assembly line” going on!  It took all six of us about 3 1/2 hours straight to get it done, but they are ready and will be mailed this week!  Shane–you’re stuck now, mister!  Hehe…just kidding!

Wowie wow! These wedding plans are just consuming my days right now. It truly makes teaching interesting. I’d like to clone myself two or three times to take care of everything. If I’m not talking to the wedding coordinator, I’m talking to the caterer or the harpist or the violinist or the [...]

On Tuesday, August 29th, I was “showered” by items from Pampered Chef. The shower was given by three of my co-worker friends (Jennifer Crump, Amy Findley, and Amanda Jordan) at Jennifer’s lovely home. We had around 15 people or so there and had a great time. When I arrived Jackie (the [...]

I had my very first bridal shower this past Saturday! My matron of honor Natalie and her mom Vickie hosted a Southern Living at Home shower for me at the Church Street Tea Garden. What a sweet little place!  I’d never been there but would really recommend it, especially for showers!  It was a brunch [...]

Completing the address list has been quite the job.  I had no idea what an undertaking this was going to be.  I feel like a secretary for myself!  Ha!  That and filling up my calendar with showers and other important dates has pretty much been my life lately.   My first shower is next Saturday (July [...]

Mom and I went to “The Velvet Box” yesterday and ordered the wedding invitations (and miscellaneous other items).  That took about 2 1/2 hours to get everthing chosen, worded correctly, written out, and ordered.  I love the invitations and I can’t wait to see how they turn out!  We also went to “Write on Main” [...]

Well, it’s been a little while.  Things have just been crazy with the end of the school year and other stuff, so I’ve got to play a little bit of “catch up”.  My mom and I (my cohort in this whole wedding planning escapade…) went and met with the lady that will be making the [...]

We have booked a DJ, a violinist, and a harpist.  I can’t wait to hear all of the wonderful music from these individuals that I know will really just add to our wonderful day!  Yippee!

Wahoo!  My wedding dress came in so much earlier than we had anticipated!  I went straight to Brides and Belles to try it on.  That was fun.  I really love that dress and I can’t wait for everyone to see it! 

Well, I just thought that I would make a quick little entry here. Just incase you haven’t notice, Shane has beat me to the chase of making entries on recent events! Haha…So far, I am loving making all of these plans. The photographer hunt was a little tedious, but well worth it. [...]

I’ve always dreamed of the day when I would get to be a bride….and not just always a bridesmaid!  Hehe…I’ve always loved weddings, ever since I was a little girl and now the time has come to plan it!  I’ve been named a bridesmaid a few times now and I always felt so cherished when [...]

Remember how I said my mind was “reeling”? All these little details are so jumbled up in my head. I think we might have found a photographer, my invitations and other things are a blessing, I’ve looked at cakes, and so much more! It seems like a long way away until November, [...]
