Shower, Engagement Dinner, Photo Shoots and Invites

Well... we're in the homestretch folks! Just SIX weeks until our wedding and I am so very happy to report how much FUN I had at my lovely bridal shower that Amy and Erica threw for me Sunday afternoon. The food was excellent... and I have to give a shoutout to Lisa Kane for making that awesome veggie pizza! The cake was gorgeous and so were the invites and decorations. I felt very truly surrounded by love and friendship that afternoon and I could not be more thankful for that. I definitely felt the love in the room for both Daniel and I and I hope everyone who attended knows how much I appreciate them and love them. Every single one of them! In attendance were Kelly Kneiser, Karen Styer (two very good friends from Murfreesboro), Allison McGehee, Lisa Kane, Christy Hillis, Amy Kane Cunningham (best friend and maid of honor), Erica SImmons (my step sister and bridesmaid), Linda Burnett (my step mom), my mom Patty Guiberson, Kari Neal (I just love her... she's too sweet) and lil Gavin, Courtney Griggs, Laura Adams (Daniel's adorable little sister), Ruth Adams (Daniel's sweet mama), Kayla Warren (HILARIOUS friend), and Amanda Coker (sweet, gorgeous pal). Sarah Nelms,another VERY close friend and bridesmaid, even called from basic training in Missouri to tell me she was thinking about me. Made my heart warm.
I just felt very loved that day.
A couple weeks ago we were fortuante enough to have an engagement dinner hosted by my dad and Linda in Murfreesboro. Several friends and family showed up to help us celebrate with laughter and good food. We are truly blessed with great people in our lives.
I finally sent out the first round of invitations (I'm sure we'll add more people to the list as time goes on!).
Both Daniel and I were incredibly peased with how the invitations turned out! I highly reccomend WeddingPaperDivas.com!!!! GORGEOUS invitations, colors and incredible service!
We also had our engagement photo shoot with Stacy Preston in Sewanee a couple weeks ago. I cannot stop gushing about how BEAUTIFUL the few pics are that I've seen so far. I am beyond thrilled with how gorgeous they turned out.... and with how Stacy was so easy-going to work with. Daniel and I were quite nervous about being photographed like that, as we both have never had the opportunity to do so. But Stacy put us completely at ease!!! We LOVE her!
Now... I still have to get my dress slightly altered, buy accessries such as shoes and jewelry, meet with the caterer, meet with the florist, and do many many more small things... BUT... we ARE in the home stretch ladies and gentlemen!!!!
