I've chosen my 'maids!

Not much wedding planning has been happening since the save the date cards went out. In all honesty, I've been overwhelmed with homework. Only a couple more weeks to go, thankfully. Then it's wedding wedding wedding!

I did finally choose my bridesmaids! After months of waiting and anticipating, I am delighted to present to you my lovely bridesmaids: 
  • Maid of Honor - Donna
  • Bridesmaids - Sierra, Chelsea, Becky, Chey, Courtney
Yupp, I've decided to have them all. 'Cause it's my wedding and I'll have as many bridesmaids as I want to! I'm so excited. They all are too, I think. And we have arranged dress shopping in December. I can't wait. We'll have to go suit shopping in December too while Chris's groomsmen (Mike & Eric) are in New York for the holidays.

I told you I'm gonna be in full wedding mode soon! That's about all I've got!

Signed. Sealed. Delivered...

They're yours! 

Sort of. Except, they're not really signed, but they are sealed, and ready to be delivered! So they're practically yours.

We spent our Halloween evening sealing our save the date envelopes with wax seals. Christopher, of course, was happy to play with the torch:



Playing with fire on Halloween seems appropriate, right? We are pleased with the final product. It was a little harder than anticipated. The flame would get too hot close to Chris's hand, so Chris ended up holding the "wick" with pliers. Eventually the wicks would fall off of the wax cube. Anyways, it was a little disastrous but worked out in the end. The seals are white so I had to take the photo without the flash:



Doesn't look too good in the photo here at all... Oh well, it looks better in person. Putting the finished cards in the mail tomorrow. I am still lacking some addresses, so unfortunately they won't all go out at the same time. But I'm already a week behind sending them out, so they must go!
