Our Wedding Diary

Come back here frequently to follow our journey to our wedding day. We will each try to make a diary entry every day or maybe on somedays the entry will be from both of us. Click on the links to the left to see only the entries of one of us. Enjoy!

It's been 1 week, 6 days, 21 hours since we were married. What and incredible day! everything was so perfect, and so many people came out and celebrated with us; it really made my marriage to a beautiful woman that much better.

So here we are, two weeks later, an old married couple. I'm finally getting used to my ring, Colleen is really loving hers (after almost 2 years of waiting!) and we are really happy.

Thanks to all that came out for either the ceremony, reception or both. Having so many people there that we love made the day.

Oh and thanks for all the gifts, gift cards and everything. I know most times people get duplicates, or something they didn't really want, but we have not and will not be returning or exchanging anything! We actually used some of the gift cards already to update some light fixtures in our house. Take a look at our new dining room light!

See you all at the wedding!!!

16 days!!   We got about almost 69 percent of everyone responded and about 55 % that will be attending. It's awesome!   I am getting more excited every day as the day gets nearer, and at the same time, there is always something to do everyday!

Steve and I were discussing on how to improve our centerpieces and we purchased the glass beads to see how it looks in the vase and we showed it to mom and she thought it was very nice. So we got that all set up.   I am going to give all the centerpieces, favors and anything that is needed for the reception, and the hall coordinator takes care of everything. It is so nice because that way we don't have to worry about having family and friends to decorate on the day of.    The only thing we have to worry about that day is bringing the decorations from the church to the reception. And I’m sure someone will just grab those and bring them over.

Cake is final! We met up with them last week and gave them our cake topper and our design we wanted and it's all set.   Now I need to contact my hall coordinator to make sure what time can they come over to set it up. Also find out if we need to provide decorations for the cake table or not.   My friend, she offered to make homemade mints for the wedding, and we'll probably make those and put them along the cake table.

I think this weekend Steve and I will be cleaning our entire house before the wedding weekend so our guests can stay with us, and probably have a quite a few visitors throughout the week.
Well, time to cook dinner!
