WEDDING update :)

I did a pretty bad job of updating you on the past events of my life from these past few months, however I am going to try to do a Better job of trying to update you on how the Glorious Wedding planning is going :)

Here is a quick recap of what I have accomplished up to this point so far...

First of all, in case you didn't know, the Big day is July 9 2011! It seems pretty far away, but at the same I know it is going to go by so fast, it already has! I have already been engaged for 7 months! :)

First of all, The wedding is going to be at Borculo CRC in Borculo MI. It is on the corner of Port Sheldon, and 96th st.

Secondly, we have our reception hall booked, and it is at the Trestle Stop in Hamilton MI.

Third, I have my Wedding Dress Ordered! :) I bought it from September's Bride in Holland, LOVE THAT PLACE!!! I would recommend going there to anyone! :)

We also have our photographer booked, Mindy Leigh Photography. She also was the photographer for my friend's kristen and joe, and I am very excited to have her as my photographer as well! Actually, just Wednesday night we had our Engagement pictures! I am really excited about them!

Those are the main things that I have planned already. Right now I am on the hunt for a Good DJ, I am looking at Complete Music, DJpushPlay, and also Dance Track Dj's. :)

Other things I am starting to look into are Cake places, and Floral places.

I think everything is on track.

After taking a couple months off from my own wedding to participate in my friend's weddings, I am excited to get back into Planning my own!

Last week Friday, I went to to the Grand Rapids Wedding Affair!

SO FUN!!!!!

well, that is all the updating for now!

This month, on the First of October Friends of mine got Married! They are from the chicagoish area.. and the Groom's family, and Kris' family have been friends for close to 40 years! The last weekend on September Kris and I drove down to Chicago for the Bachelor and bachlorette party, and then the following Wednesday we went back down to be a part of the Rehearsal Dinner Wednesday night, and then the Wedding on Friday Oct 1! I had the honor of singing 2 songs during the Ceremony and Kris was a Groomsmen! Here are just a couple pictures from the wedding!

So much fun! We always have such a blast hanging out with them! :)

This was the last wedding Kris & I were a part of for the rest of the year, so now it is time to get ready for our wedding! It is just less than 9 Months away! Time is flying by! :)

Also, this month I have gone to the West Michigan Bridal Affair at the Grand Rapids Museum, one of my Maid of Honors bought me tickets :) It was so fun!
Just this past weekend, Kris and I and our friends Joe and Kristen had a fun time visiting Cranes Orchard! (Pictures to come)

Now, I know I did a HORRIBLE job of updating on my life events of this past summer and recent weeks of weddings, but from now I am hoping to be much better at keeping up on my blog :)

I would like to continue from my previous post and try to catch people up on the happenings of my life from this past summer. Like I said earlier, I also turned 21 this summer on June 26! on my birthday, my friend Kaylin who I also work with, decorated my Cubicle! And poured Paper shreddings on me!

She also took me out to lunch : )
This is my cubicle all decorated!

For my 21st Birthday, we went to Main St pub and we got shots at Midnight!

My birthday was actually on a Saturday, so on Saturday I had a big party with all my friends. It was also my friend Leah's 21st birthday on the exact same day, so we had a joint party! It was Beach themed! :) very fun!

SEPTEMBER - My Best Friends Got Married on Sept 17, 2010! I had to joy and honor of being the Maid of Honor, and Kris was the Best Man! It was so fun! I spent a lot of time with this wedding though, My Mom and I basically set up to whole front of the church, we made candle holders, the chair Bows, helped design the Banners on the walls, and designed how the church would look. We also spent a lot of time at the church setting everything up that whole week of the wedding. It was totally worth it though!

First of all, I was involved in multiple weddings, which was amazing.
First of all I was a bridesmaid in my good Friend Amanda's wedding





Amanda & Jon got Married on June 18, 2010 and it was a fantastic day! The Ceremony was at Kuyper College, and the reception was at the Bluff on 28th st! So much fun!
Just a mere week after that wedding, I turned 21! (more posts to follow)
