Hello!!We sent out the wedding invitations about a week ago, and have already received a couple of the RSVPs back :) I'm already having fun tallying them up!Something that I noticed that I should have included on the invitation is a line for each person with their food choice. So, if you could please just write the name of whomever wants prime rib after prime rib, and whomever wants chicken

After long deliberation we have completed our wedding registries. We are registered at both JCPenney and Target. Most of the items can be purchased online but some are in-store only.Most of it is kitchen stuff but there are a few unique items that are surely to be found only on our registry...

Rick and I were trying to think of what there is left to plan, and our list is very small - which makes me feel good that almost everything is taken care of!Most recently we chose a florist, picked out our invitations, and got started on our gift registry. We should have the actual times for the day down pretty soon as well :)We're not finished with the gift registry quite yet - but once we do

Today I had a snow day from work. So I went there in the morning to do some prepping, and in the afternoon I did wedding planning! (and my taxes)The photographer is booked. We will be going through Ellickson Studio. Their work looks excellent, and they are very flexible with their packages, so we will get exactly what we want :)As for our honeymoon, Rick got contacted today by Couples Ochos

We've decided to take a honeymoon right after we get married. We'll leave on Mon. Nov 17th, and return on Sun Nov. 23rd. We'll be going to Ochos Rios a couples resort (Thanks to Matt and Amber for the idea on couples resorts!)We put our deposits down on it today - so we could get an early booker special rate :)We've also found a photographer that we like, since Rich will be in South Africa when

Well, apparently we're very on top of things - there's not really a lot of big things left to plan! (and we still have 10 months to go)We have booked the rehearsal dinner at Ciatti's (a local authentic Italian restaurant - very good!)We also have recently decided on the hotel which we will have a block of rooms at (Stoney Creek Inn). There will be more details to come with that in the future.

Rick and I went to the Packer game this past weekend - it was Awesome!But, we also got our engagement photos on a CD. So here are a few pictures that we liked the best from the photo shoot :)

Well this isn't really related to our wedding but one thing to not do when attending a wedding is wear exactly what the groomsmen wear. I accidentally did this at a wedding Sarah and I attended last week. I was mistaken for family, groomsmen, you name it. Maroon shirt with black pants as the groomsmen didn't wear tuxes.On a side note, Sarah looked like one of the bridesmaids, but who expects

One tiny (well maybe not THAT tiny) detail that was not mentioned previously, is that our band is also "booked." We are penciled in for the date, and should be receiving the contract in a couple of months.The band is the pinsetters. We have seen them many times at River Jacks and love their music. They play good classic rock - and are all very friendly.So far I'm having fun planning and

We have both decided on our reception hall and church today. We have put the (large) deposits down on each.The ceremony will be held at English Lutheran Church in La Crosse. Sarah has gone to this church for the past several years that she has been in La Crosse. I on the other hand, I did not have a preference of where the ceremony would be held, but the church is beautiful inside and it will

So Rick and I have decided on the size of the wedding party and who will be standing up for whom. I suppose it only took a week to decide - after all every girl that I know thinks about this, but it was a harder decision than what I had anticipated. So for Rick, his best man is Casey (Friend), then groomsmen of Ben (Friend) and Mike (his brother). I have decided on Katie (friend) as

We looked at reception halls on Saturday and all of them had their strengths. We are leaning more towards Drugan's Castle Mound Country Club.It's beautiful inside and they have alot of personal touches. We will probably go in the next week or so to check out the food and sample some of the items. I'm hoping for chicken or fish as the main entree.We also checked out the Radisson in La Crosse.
