Jody and Joseph's Planning Bio
Welcome to Our Bio

Joe and I getting married on March 27, 2010 in Las Vegas, Nevada. We've been engaged since March 15, 2008 and we'll be having a casual family wedding and reception at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino.

Our motif

I asked Tara-Lynn Sharrock, an artist I found online, to draw up a chibi-style illustration of Joe and I. We'll be using this for our save the date cards. Tara-Lynn will also be doing a more formal drawing for me to use when I design our invitations.
My engagement ring

When Joe asked me to marry him, he had a Claddagh ring for me to wear until we could go shopping together for a diamond ring. A couple of weeks later, we went to Jared in Henderson, Nevada and chose a beautiful diamond together.
Inspirations and Ideas for Our Wedding

Our colors are Hunter Green and Ivory.

I'm very fond of the Regency/Empire style of dress. This example is from the BBC mini-series of Pride and Prejudice (which also happens to be one of my favorite books).

Here is a modern interpretation of a Regency dress.


This is my wedding dress - Alfred Angelo #1189 (Ivory).

This is how it looks when I tried on the sample. I'm thinking of having the train trimmed down and extending the sleeves a little bit.

Instead of a veil, I want to wear a crystal headband similar to this one. This is from Hair Comes the Bride.

We purchased my engagement ring at the Jared in Henderson, Nevada. Joe and I were very pleased with the service we received and we'll return to purchase our wedding bands.

Alfred Angelo opened a store in Henderson, Nevada late last year and I went there to casually browse the dresses. However, I saw a dress that fit my idea of a Regency style wedding gown. After trying a couple of others, I knew the first was The One

We'll be taking our families to dinner at Rumjungle after the ceremony. Our meal will be served Brazilian-style, when they bring out the meats on big skewers and carve tableside. Joe and I are very excited to share this location with our families
