Getting things done...

        I feel so much better.  My mom and I met with my cousin Pam yesterday to go over some wedding plans. We went over to Heydenshore and looked at the hall again. I'd only seen it once before. We talked for more than 2 hours over dinner. There are a lot of things that need to be done.. but Pam's made a list of items and we're going to all work on plans one by one. 

    One thing we decided is to go and pick our own wine.
    Scott and I haven't gone over to Bunny's (our caterer) to decide on a menu yet, but once we do that we're planning on going over to Archibald's Winery to pick out our wines.  And I'm crossing my fingers that they'll make labels for us. I'd love personalized labels. 
    I've ordered a few cocktail dresses from the new Sears catalogue. I told my bridemaids that I would try to find inexpensive dresses for them.  The new colour seems to be chocolate brown so instead of grey or silver dresses I think the girls will wear brown.
    I'll keep you posted on how it comes along. I tried to find pictures of the dresses I ordered but sears.ca doesn't have them online.
    If we do end up changing the dresses to brown, I think I'll change the colour palette as well.  Rich colours like orange, brown, gold, and cranberry.  I think that'd look so nice and classy. And it would work well with the fall theme. 
    I just feel so relieved to have some of the planning done.  We have a lot of things to cover still but at least I know we will get to it.
