no, santa clause is not coming to town...but we're finally starting to check some items off the wedding "to-do" list!venue (check), wedding dress (check), wedding colors (check), bridesmaid dresses (check), florist (check), photographer (check), caterer (eh...semi check). my goal is to get the big items booked and out of the way so i have the little things to focus on next year. i attended a family graduation party this weekend and i received fantastic advice from my aunts, uncles and cousins. one cousin told me that none of your vendors want to talk to you until 1-2 months before your wedding and then all hell breaks loose. i can't begin wrap my head around the stress level i'll probably be experiencing 2 months away from the wedding day...but at least i have been warned.
brandon and i attending a wedding two weekends ago and have another one coming up on the 3rd. it's so much fun watching other weddings, to see how things flow, to get ideas, and make mental notes of what you might want to do and what you might not want to do. the last wedding we went to was for brandon's co-worker. we sat with two other couples from his work. one couple was married a year earlier (to the day - it was their one year anniversary!) and the other couple is getting married in less than 30 days. as we were watching the ceremony and reception we kept asking each other questions and advice. at one point during the night i seriously felt like i was on an episode of 4 weddings (tlc)! we all had a good laugh at that, considering every single person at the table knew exactly what I was talking about...even the guys (who all proclaimed they were forced into watching the show...but secretly i think they all get a kick out of it too). I think the craziest part of attending other weddings, when you're engaged and planning one of your own, is thinking "wow that's going to be us" it makes me so excited!
last on the list of updates for today, we got our engagement photos back! i think we were both a little nervous about how they would turn out. like i mentioned in the previous post it's a little awkward walking around downtown portland with a photographer snapping photos of you for two hours and we were praying the photos wouldn't reflect that. we were relieved to see they didn't and i think elijah really captured our personalities in the photos. i'm so excited to work with jessica and her team and i can't wait to see how the wedding photos will turn out.
without further ado, here is a sneak peak to the photos (the very last photo is one of my favorites). please stop by jessica's website to view her incredible work jessica hill photography - kate and brandon
hugs
