Registry

Matt - May 17th

I've added the wedding registry page. There's now a link to it at the top of the page. Today Sarah and I walked around Macy's with a scanner and picked out some things we liked. Sarah also spent some time putting together a list on Amazon.com. Between the two of them there's a fairly broad range of stuff.

I had to share some of the following wedding cakes from the Cake Wrecks blog. They were too good to keep to myself! You can see more awesome and awful cake pictures at Cake Wrecks.

New Website Stuff

Matt - May 11th

There are some new additions to the site. Up top there is now a link to the directions and hotel. This page now also has links on the side to show posts from specific months, so everything isn't all on one page.

It's for the Ladies!

Sarah - May 7th

This last weekend I went out with Nicole, Tina, and Michelle to get bridesmaid dresses for the wedding. We hit three different places, finally finding a very nice dress that worked for everyone at David's Bridal. From that decision, we've slightly tweaked our wedding colors since the bridesmaid dresses will be in a nice medium blue shade instead of the sky blue/silver/blush pink that we tentatively had picked before. They called the color of the dresses Cornflower Blue, which I thought was a ridiculous name for a color until I actually looked it up. Turns out there are cornflowers (not related directly to corn) that come in yellow, blue, and purple. Who'd have known?

I also found a nice shoulder shrug that will go along with my dress, which pleases me to no end because my online searches were failing miserably. And, it won't cost me an arm and a leg, either. This too is a good thing since we find our original budget was a far cry from the reality of what we will be spending. Oh well...
