T-145 days!

That's right! Just 145 days til my handsome man and I walk down the isle. That's only 4 and a half months!! We've made some huge strides this past month and with just two big things lefts to cross of the list (florist and chair/linen rentals) we will soon be cruising into the smaller details and a less stressful time of wedding planning...or so I hope!


This past weekend was particularly awesome simply because 1) I got to spend it with some of my favorite people and 2) it was filled with lots and lots of wedding stuff :) My mom, papa, Graym, and I made the hour long trip out west to Front Royal to visit with a couple florists, check out a hotel for our out-of-town guests, and eat at our potential rehearsal dinner spot. Both florists were absolutely wonderful and extremely helpful. They loved that I came in knowing exactly what I wanted for the bridesmaids and centerpieces and were able to suggest some ideas of there own. Now we just have to wait for a quote from each and pretty much go with the cheaper of the two haha We then heading over to Stephens City and not only found the hotel to be great but the management as well! The woman we met with, Veronica, was absolutely delightful and more than excited to be showing us around. Even before we saw the rooms we knew this was a great choice due to the friendly, outstanding service. The hotel turned out to be very nice as well and included deluxe continental breakfast and a pool at half the price of other hotels in the area. Hopefully our guests will like it as much as we did! We then headed over to Roma's Greek and Italian Restaurant for lunch and once again we were blown away by the kindness and generosity of the manager and wait staff, plus the food was delicious! You can check out their website here. It has a great little space for small parties that is just the right size for our rehearsal dinner and we are so excited to be back there so soon. Oh, and did I mention their cannolis and chocolate cake (served to us on the house just for coming to check them out!) were AMAZING!! Those most definitely will be served at the rehearsal :)


It feels so great to finally have those things checked off our list. After looking at the checklist on theknot.com, we are drawing close to the little details: decorations, invitations, picking the menu, and finalizing other ideas. It's really starting to feel like the wedding is just around the corner and we couldn't be happier! 


I'll be sharing more with you guys in the next few weeks. A lot has been running through my mind but with all this wedding stuff I haven't had much time to write! Plus I'll need your feedback on some ideas, so make sure you check back soon :D


Boy oh boy, we can't wait to be married!
