1) Wedding Stuff:
Roger and I have picked our reception menu, which includes two of my favorites.... Mini Corn Dogs for an appetizer and fettuchini alfredo for one of our main dishes. We also have some other great snacks for before hand, and chicken and ham options for the main course.
I now have Roger's wedding band in my possesion, along with all of the bridesmaids' gifts. I'm very excited about all of them, and also very worried that I will lose something! Jen Skalka Ream hand made the bridesmaid jewelry for me, and it is BEAUTIFUL. If you are interested in having her make you something, I would be happy to get in contact with her for you. She can copy just about any designer piece you find for a much lower price, or, she is VERY creative and can come up with something great for you. I could not be happier with the jewelry!
We have been receiving such fun wedding gifts, all that I'm really excited about. Funnily, the first things that were gone from our registry were all alchoal/wine related gifts! I don't know if I should take that as a bad sign.... but I am very happy with all of it!
We have our apartment, and Roger is moved in (kind of) and living on an air mattress! We are moving furniture this weekend, and I will have to document the move for my blog readers! I am so excited to get all the furniture in and to start making it our own. It really is a great place!
I have finalized my contract with Michaelangelos, our florist/wedding decor specialists. I have to say, I 100% recommend them for anyone getting married in my area. They are so efficient, and create amazing things with a not quite amazing budget!
2) Fun Events in Chicago:
Roger and I have had a couple really fun nights in Chicago recently. The first night that the apartment was officially in our possesion, we camped out! We had only an air mattress and a tv, no air conditioning (in 95 degree weather), and a couple bottles of champagne! Niether of us really slept because of the heat, but we enjoyed our champagne, and knowing that we were in our first offical place together!
Also, we spent another great night in the park across from Lakeshore drive. We cooked steak, had wine and cheese and crackers, and just talked about how excited we are that we will be able to have nights like that much more frequently. Such a great time!
Bachelorette Party!:
I actually had 2 bachelorette parties, since I have 2 bridesmaids that are under 21. I spent one amazing spa night with all of my bridesmaids, and one night in Chicago going out on the town with everyone that could come! Here are some pictures from both nights:
A HUGE Thank you goes out to my amazing sisters and MOHs for planning such a fun night in Chicago, and to Ashlie for letting us do the spa bachelorette party at Serenity Springs!
