Long time no updates.

Whoops.

The whole point of this is to keep everyone informed on our lives and the wedding plans and we both fail horribly. Mainly me, because Chris isn’t a blogger by nature so I can’t fault the guy too much. Plus when you’re a guy I highly doubt you want to blog about your wedding.

So some life updates since the last post:

• -We left Chicago and moved to Pittsburgh March 6th.
• -Chris now works at the Shadyside Apple store
• -Chris bought a car. He said we were “going to share it” but I’ve never even come close to the driver’s seat yet.
• -We are in the process of buying a house!! I’ll be updating about that over on my blog though ASAP

Wedding updates:

• I think I have all the floral details nailed down. Our florist is a family friend who runs Floral Magic.
• We picked out our wedding cake!! This was one of the most important things for me so the cake had to be amazing. We went to 2 different bakeries and we decided on Bethel Bakery. We chose an almond batter with a seedless raspberry filling for the wedding cake and for Chris’ groom cake he chose an orange batter with a chocolate mousse filling.
• My mom finally started shopping for her dress. She found a lovely sapphire coloured dress at David’s Bridal but she’s a commitment-phobe so she insisted on looking elsewhere before purchasing the dress.*sigh*
• We’re in the process of finalizing proofs of the invitations and response cards. I’m so excited, they’re going to look fabulous. We’re also thinking of getting “Thank You” cards that match the little birds in the upper right hand corner because they’re so darling.
• We’ve been tossing ideas around for my bridal shower (which I don’t know how I’m responsible for making the decisions on this stuff-isn’t it supposed to be my bridesmaids?) and my bachelorette party. My friend Christina suggested a really great idea that we might have to look into.
• I’m probably the only fiancée in the world who is encouraging my future husband to have a stripper at his bachelor party. Mainly because I think it would be hilarious to hear stories about it later.
• I reserved a block of rooms at the Marriott for $82/night! Score!

I think that’s about it. We’re about 5 months & some change away from the big day and I feel like we have so much done, but there’s still so much to do. I have a feeling the house stuff will distract us from the wedding plans for a while, but with a closing date of June 14th that’s just around the corner too.
