Tux shopping

So, Wednesday, Michael, his best man Jesse, and I went to look at tux's for the wedding.

I am really excited about what we picked out. We went to Men's Wearhouse because they work with David's Bridal and have all the same colors that David's Bridal does. Over the last five months I have discovered that Guava is an almost impossible color to match so I figured we should just go straight to Men's Wearhouse and that way we can tell them we want the groomsmen in guava vests and ties and they will know exactly what color that is.

So, we decided that we are putting the groomsmen in black tuxes with black shirts, guava vests, and guava ties. Michael will be in a black tux with a white vest and white tie. We got some strange looks when we told them that we wanted the guys including the groom in black shirts, but it looks really nice and really makes the Guava stand out. Also, it's an evening wedding so we can get away with having the groomsmen wear black shirts since it's a formal event.

I love watching the little pieces slowly get taken care of. Picking out the tux styles makes us one little step closer to walking down the aisle and we are both so excited.

God is taking care of everything and I mean EVERYTHING. I've never seen God so active in my life before and I am amazed at every little thing He does to reassure us both that this is right. My faith has been incredibly strengthened over the last five months for this I am so thankful.

DJs

so, we're pretty sure we found our DJ for the reception!

My sister Mykie did me a huge favor and called all of the DJs and set up meetings with three possibilities. We had the first meeting Thursday night.

This guy was amazing and just made us feel so comfortable and had everything he does mapped out. He had a million refernces, has DJ'd for some pretty big events including the grand opening for the Shoppes in Chino Hills and the best part was that he didn't try to sell us anything or push anything on us. I didn't feel like I was trying to buy a car. We just talked and laughed and he told some great stories about parties and weddings that he has done before. He also plays baseball which was a big plus for Michael.

He was the cheapest DJ on the list too so we are really excited about Him. We just have to get the deposit to him tomorrow! YAY!

fun times

so, the shower was a huge success. I had so much fun and my sisters and mom did an amazing job putting everything together. Also, thank you so much Iva for letting us use your home.

I had a ton of fun seeing friends I hadn't seen in a while and even a teacher that I hadn't seen in a few years. It was great to have all of the women I care about in one place.

I got some great gifts too and feel like we've got a good little start to our kitchen supplies. Now we just need a kitchen!

Thank you everyone for coming and for all of your gifts! I can't wait until we have a place of our own to put them all. They are currently crowding my room :-)
