Bridesmaids

Posted on Jan 08, 2008 under Uncategorized | 9 Comments

Taryn found a dress that she likes for the bridesmaids.  It’s not “for sure” yet, but she definitely thinks it is pretty.  I think I should share it with you all!  Let us know what you think.

Tuxedo Talk

Don’t worry, this isn’t going to be a white-tie affair.  That being said, it’s also not a wear-a-nice-sweater-and-you’ll-look-fine event.  The men in the wedding party will be wearing tuxedos, and the invitations will most likely say something about it being black tie.  Men:  if you have a suit, wear it.  Ladies…I don’t really know what to say except to keep in mind that we’ll be in a church.  The man upstairs already knows what your goods look like, so there’s no real need to show them off at my wedding.  Also, please stay away from polka-dots.  I saw a girl wearing them at a wedding this past summer and it was very unfortunate.

That being said, this wedding is in the evening.  It starts at 6:30pm.  Because it’s an evening wedding, I’m thinking having the groomsmen wear black shirts.  Here are a couple of options.  Let me know what you think!

Toasting Flutes

Posted on Jan 04, 2008 under Wedding Info | 3 Comments

Last night, I was sitting in the recliner, reading my message boards about Butler Basketball (#16 in the country, 12-1!)  and my cell phone started ringing.  I ran into the other room to see who it was, but by the time I got there it had already gone to voicemail.  I saw that it was Taryn, so I figured I had better call her back.  She doesn’t ever call to just talk, so I figured it was something important.  So I called her and she wanted to know if it was okay if she went ahead and got our toasting flutes for the wedding.

I like to think that I’m a little bit more involved in the wedding planning process than most other guys, but when it comes to the wedding flutes, I don’t even know where to begin.  I told her that I didn’t care if she bought them, so she went ahead and got them.  She sent me a picture so that I could share them with all of you!  They’re Swarovski Crystal, which is very beautiful.
