Wedding Update

Hi Everyone! I hope you all are having a great Memorial Day weekend.  Sorry I have been absent in my blog land. Here is an update:

We bought a ring! 

We bought a suit!!


We have a good idea what we are looking for the groomsmen but just need to do some shopping around. 



Other than that we have been enjoying the summer. Don't worry we'll start our wedding projects soon.  WE DID pick a song! :) And also picked our entrance song, cake cutting, and bouquet toss songs.

Tomorrow is officially the last day to RSVP and we have only 50% back.  sigh.  So here's to tracking down those rotten 50% and finding out if they will be joining the festivities! We are both starting to get really excited for the wedding and spending it with friends and family! 

Peace, Love, and Chicken Grease to you all!!

I'm a winner!

So..I love reading wedding blogs.  Yes, my name is Elena and I love reading wedding blogs.  Some times it's the first thing I do when I wake up.  I especially love Lydia's blog http://www.ever-ours.com/ . She has amazing photos and ideas and of course wonderful giveaways.  I am not sure if I mentioned it before but I was so lucky to win a pearl bracelet earlier in the year the same week I won eyelashes from Marie-Pierre, my amazing make up artist. Vatne Designs is who and where I bought my stunning pearl necklace and won my equally stunning bracelet! Well NOW I am the lucky winner of Lydia's Bridesmaids giveaway! I have been so excited to see the new movie.  With all of the wedding stress, I need a little fun to be poked out of the wedding monster and well of me...the bride!  Here's what I have won...

Which brings me to my other obsession...BRIDESMAIDS the movie which I have played around with a bit.  My MOH and I are going to watch the movie tonight and I am soooooo excited!
So of course I had to add my bridal parties heads to it (ummmm...Andy was the wild card one...A. because he'll find it hilarious B. because every one else would have been pissed about being the wild card.
