It's Begun...

So I'm engaged, now what? I tell you what... a lot of planning that's what. It's begun. We are starting to plan our May 30, 2009 wedding and it's really overwhelming. So many details go into planning but I'm confident and ready to get this ball rolling. I have chosen locations (even though nothing is booked yet) at First Baptist Church in Lubbock. It's the church I grew up in and it's going to be beautiful.The Louis Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts is where I want to have the reception. It's this really neat art gallery down town across from the Civic Center. It's going to be amazing. Now I have to book these locations and start working out the details. I asked Brittany, my future sister-in-law, to be my matron of honor and we are both so excited about it. It's so much fun planning our weddings together. I also am asking my friend Kari in Oklahoma to be a bridesmaid and I asked my dear friend Shanda Hasse to be a bridesmaid. She is 8 1/2 months pregnant and expecting a baby boy Noah Thomas any day now. So much fun. I'm also going to ask all of Brandon's nieces to be in the bridal party. Korrie will be a bridesmaid. She's 16 and so beautiful and spunky. Alyssa is her sister and is 12 and will be a junior bridesmaid. Kymberlee his other niece who's 10 will be a junior bridesmaid as well and her little sister Ashleigh is 5 and will be my flower girl. I'm so excited. I really want it to be a family affair. All of these girls mean so much to me and I'm honored for them to serve as my attendants. I made these cards that I sent them to ask each one of them to be in my bridal party. I illustrated them and printed them myself. They turned out cute . I chose my colors!!!!!!!! I think. I have changed my mind about 10 times though, but I made this board of inspiration that solidified my decision. They're Chartreuse and Indigo Blue with Ivory accents. I'm so pleased about this color combo. If anyone has any ideas let me know.
