Invitations

-
I am having a little difficulty with ordering my invitations. I feel like i am being very picky. The invitation sets the mood for the wedding and the way people view us. Most of my family and friends don't know Andrew at all and have never seen a pic. We are doing a picture invitation so they can see us. So then i am challenged with the question, do you make it total classic pose, faces showing and everyone smiling...or the 'artsy' natural moment capture, where you might not be able to see both of our faces if either. I love the way the later looks, but is that the best. Then ordering on line is a beating cause you pay before you see a proof. augh! i am usually laid back...but i am learning there are some things that i wouldn't think bother me...get me nervous. : )
I think the fact that i HAVE to have them by the end of this month is freaking me out too. i know it will get done..its just the first step of actually doing it. A friend helped me the other night looking at stuff on this one site, and i asked for some samples. Hoping that once i get those and can feel the paper and stuff i can choose. Did you know there were like 100s of different types of card stock...and i have to choose between, linen, watercolor, pearl and semi gloss...
At the end of the day (months) i will be married! SWEET!!!

Go with what you love (in regards to the picture and paper). You're the one who will frame it forever or scrapbook it or whatever women do with those things....not many of the guests will do that. I see you as more artsy, not completely classic. That's my bridesmaid opinion.

Too many choices! You are right though. In the end you will be married no matter what invitation you chose! Can you believe how close it is getting?! Can't wait!

In response to your comment...Um...so tangle is the former Godtube. I don't hate it, but I don't love it. I would like it more if they came up with this idea before youtube was around. I don't like that Christians borrow ideas and then try to make them Christian. I would rather Christians make great videos and impact culture on youtube then to use this. Why do you ask?

That's cool. I'm glad you asked. I like talking about stuff like that. I looked at plane tickets today to get us to your wedding. I can't wait! Oh and for the pics...I see you as artsy, but fun.

As mentioned in the last entry of this blog i bragged about how Dad is taking care of me and just making things light and easy and fun for the wedding. Yesterday Andrew and i went and took pictures with a friend of ours. And she took us to the grapevine train station, a field, a strange house, and to the lake where he proposed. We laughed, kissed, hugged, laughed and tried to stay warm. It was so much fun! Ellie was a bit nervous cause the temperature was like in the 50's. But the sun and sky was perfect so she said if we were game she was game. So we did! Ended up with like 200 pics....she wittled them down and gave me 160 some. They are all sooo good...it was hard to pick my fave. I am so thankful for her, her talent and her willingness to do this with us! I may put a link to the folder...but not sure just how....so bear with me! :)

Valentines Day

I was curious as to where Valentines day came from and this is what i found. There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine's Day. Some experts state that i t originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries. Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine". Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at the temple during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine. Gradually, February 14 became the date for exchanging love messages and St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers. The date was marked by sending poems and simple gifts such as flowers. There was often a social gathering or a ba

Photo shoot with Mabry Family

This past saturday was my first official photo shoot, meaning not really close friends, was really nervous to do it. Andrew came with me and was my voice of direction. I picked the same spot a friend of ours took our engagement pictures, main street Grapevine. We went a bit early to the spot and marked some places we thought would work, and talked out what positions might be good. With his strong voice he commanded them into spots! :) It was fun and the weather was perfect for it. Andrew had gotten me a new lens in time for the shoot so i was super pumped and so thankful it made it in time. There were a couple times that i forgot to change the setting and was like OH NO! Let's try that again!  I think they like it and are happy with it. A mutual friend has already asked me to take pics of her and her hubby. Now i am just waiting for my label to be created so i can look even more official! This is a fun hobby that i am excited to chase after! Click Here for more pics
