Busy, Busy, Busy
Last weekend was a long weekend, what with Teri and I having MiLK day off of work on Monday, and we got a lot done on the wedding planning front. Friday night we went and bought our wedding bands. Saturday we started the gift registry process (more on that in a future post when they're actually finished and ready for dissemination). Sunday afternoon we had a cake-tasting appointment and got our cake provider booked for the reception. On Monday, after my dentist appointment, we had three appointments with caterers in the afternoon/early evening. Teri and I are in agreement that if we can afford him, we want to have Steve's Catering take care of the food at the reception, but we're not sure what his cost will be. Just from the meetings on Monday, we were able to eliminate one of the other caterers. Neither of us was impressed with them.
Also on Monday, the wedding invitations showed up and they look as expected and we picked up Teri's wedding band since it was done being resized. Mine had to be ordered, so it's not in yet. As you can tell, it was a busy, exhausting weekend, which is why it's Friday and I'm finally getting around to writing about it.

You are invited ...
Matt & I were able to order our wedding invitations today! Success! I kinda freaked out last weekend at the Bride Show when all the invitation promos said invitations were supposed to be ordered 16-18 weeks before the big day, & Matt & I more like 15 weeks before the wedding. I did some research this week (none of the vendor's sites from the Bride Show were helpful), and found a few for Matt & I to review. We narrowed it down to 2 this afternoon, & made our final decision about an hour ago. :) Who knew picking word arrangement & font style could be such a process? Our homework now is to start collecting addresses. I'd post a picture of the invitation, but I don't want to ruin the surprise when people open it up.

The Columbus Cake Show
At least I'm pretty sure that's where Teri and I were on Sunday. It may have been the Columbus Bridal Show, but mostly it was about free cake samples.
It was actually really good that we went because we got a discount on the tuxes that we'd already booked, got another catering contact, got some leads on flowers and have a better idea of what kind of schedule we need to be on with ordering and sending invitations. Also, there were free samples of cake.
We do have 2 appointments set up with caterers for MLK day, and we're working on a 3rd, so we're getting some headway made there too. Teri and I were both impressed by the 3rd caterer who we met on Sunday. He had some delicious appetizers there for tasting (the booth next to his had some cake though).
There hasn't been any word yet on whether or not we won any of the door prizes. Typically the number 1 rule to any drawing is "If the prize is worth anything, Matt can't win.", so I'm not holding my breath. Sorry Teri, but you should know that about me now.
