Today Fred and I went to the travel agent to discuss honeymoon options! We both decided that once (all) this planning is (finally) done we're going to need a week of relaxation. While Europe would be amazing to see, we don't want to feel like we have to be tourists and see things on the honeymoon. So warm and beach it is!
Fred said he'd like to keep the destination a secret and surprise me! I think it's a fantastic, and romantic idea. We talked about beachy places all over, so I have no idea which directions he'll take us. All of the options have their selling points, but it's definitely something we need to do our homework in, and compare the choices.
In less than three months I will be a happily married woman, laying on a beach somewhere with my husband, a book, and a fruity drinks. I. Can't. Wait.

V-Day
This year for Valentine's Day, Fred and I bought each other wedding bands <3
About six weeks back we went to look at wedding bands. Fred had his narrowed down to two inside fifteen minutes. As you could guess, I was the exact opposite.
Since Fred had my engagement ring made, it was a little tricky to find a band that matches. My ring has two rows of diamonds that join at the basket. I have a symmetry issue, and I don't love the idea of having three bands. Also, I understand you're supposed to wear the wedding band closest to your heart....but I've always thought that looks backwards. So it's looking like two bands for me!
After much debate, I decided on two, and we ordered them! While chocolates are tasty, and flowers smell divine, I really couldn't think of a better gift to give my Valentine.
Happy Valentine's Day to all you lovers! xoxo

100 days out & we booked the venue!
Obviously, by now you've picked up on how backwards a bride-to-be I am. Today we went to the venue and signed the papers to officially book it!
Yes, after we sent the Save the Dates. With the city on it.
Traditions are boring, who needs to stick to them anyway?
So it's happening!!!
In 100 days (thanks knot.com & your checklist) Fred & I will officially be Mr. & Mrs.
<3 <3 <3

Save the Dates = sent!
Totally I took all the Save the Dates, individually and carefully hand-stamped, to the Post Office to send them out. I'm actually a little annoyed because I wanted to take a picture of them all stacked up to send out...but I forgot. Most people should have them tomorrow, or a few days for the out of state folks. I think my hours of rubber stamping paid off....because they look great!
I'll post a picture of them, and both sides of the envelope, so you can see for yourself!

Invitation--Draft 1
Prom Date Eric just sent me the first draft of our wedding invitations. And. They. Are. AMAZING!
He made Fred & I a logo, which I will have made in to a stamp....and put on everything!
The invite is perfect for me. It's vintage, soft, and fancy. I sent him my feedback & he'll work with it. I can't wait to see the RSVP, directions/accommodations/etc.
I am so excited!!!!

Return address stamp has arrived!
Our return address stamp arrived in the mail this morning! I hand stamped it on to each Save the Date, and they are now officially ready to send! I'll take them to the post office Monday, and they'll be on their way! I had my Dad's dog over today, since my Mom is out of town and he's alone. He's four months old, and was very interested to see what I was doing.
I'll post a picture of the stamp a little later. Now I can check another (big) thing off my knot.com checklist!

Hurry up USPS!
I have been patiently (or not so patiently) waiting for the arrival of our return address stamp, so I can send out the Save the Dates. I wouldn't be so particular, except I really don't feel like handwriting my own address one hundred or so times. Plus, the stamp is very cute.
I have been constantly stalking USPS Track and Confirm....but no delivery yet. As of 10:18 this a.m., my stamp is in Pittsburgh. That means, it should be on my doorstep before noon tomorrow.
Come on USPS! I'm impatient!!!
