Colors and Receptions and Dresses - Oh, My!

Posted Tuesday, January 13, 2009 1:08 PM

Lots to report since our last post......

 First of all, the Dinner Theatres are OUT.  Visited them, checked out their rooms, and they just won't work.  Too many reasons to list.  So we began a marathon tour of Reception Sites of the Twin Cities.  Most we didn't visit; we simply inquired via email and found out if they were available on our date, if they were cheap enough, and if they were big enough.  Most sites failed one or more of these tests.  In the end, we visited a couple, and ended up (we think) with the Ramada MOA - ironically, my BM, Linda's May reception site!  Oh, well....neither of us care, and actually find there may be some perks to planning two weddings for the same site!

 Colors......we just don't know.  Suggestions??

 Bought my wedding dress!  Won't post on here since my fiance will surely be reading my post, but email me if you'd like to see a pic.  It's gonna be pretty! :)  Bought it at Mary Kay's Bridals in Richfield; loved my experience there.  Had a fun lady named Spinner as my consultant; she did a great job and at my insistance, got me into several dresses before I chose one.  The one I chose was actually an off-the-rack sample size I got for $99 (Boo-Yah!)  that I will have some significant alterations done to make it fit me beautifully.

 More later.......lots to tell!

 Bridefully (finally)!
