Wedding plans

While I generally reserve this blog to write about my progress with the couch to 5k and my weight loss, I think it's time to start talking wedding plans on here. I am making handmade cards for each of my bridesmaids, to officially ask them to be my bridesmaids. Once I get them made, I will post on here.

We are going to be meeting with Windows off/on Washington early next week to reserve a date- and then we can officially announce our wedding date! We are looking at a May 2011 wedding. I would like to be married outdoors (the Japanese Garden at the Botanical Gardens here in St. Louis makes my heart go a pitter patter) but Drew and I are still trying to work out a compromise since he would like to be married in a Catholic church (I'm not Catholic).

We are also going over wedding photographers. We've got the list narrowed down to four or five photographers, but we need to do a comparison of what we are paying and what we get for our money. I don't want to cut corners on a photographer since that is one of the only things that will last from our wedding day, but at the same time, I don't want to pay a huge chunk of our wedding budget on it!
