Update

Last weekend was a busy wedding planning weekend indeed. My Note was due Friday so Saturday and Sunday (and Monday) were spent catching up on wedding stuff that I have either avoided or neglected the past few weeks. Here's the update:

• MiG dress: Picked out and bought! We (Barb & I) found the perfect dress at Lord & Taylor. I won't give it away because I'm sure she would like it to be a surprise. I'll just say that she looks absolutely fabulous in it! It's very flattering and just sexy enough to be suitable for wedding attire. And it matches the wedding colors (no fuschia!).
• Menu: Finalized! On Sunday, Erik & I went to The Country Squire to finalize the menu and passed hors d'oeurves as well as pay the second deposit. Mike also let us taste the wine we'll be serving because I'm very paranoid about having bad wine at my wedding. For whatever reason, it's a HUGE deal to me and I've been obsessing. So, we have a very nice Merlot and Chardonnay and then White Zin for you lightweights out there (yes, that's for you Steph).
• Rehearsal Dinner: We scheduled the rehearsal for 3pm on the 14th, which will give all plenty of time to freshen up afterwards before the rehearsal bbq that Erik's dad is so kindly hosting at his place. We want to invite all the out of town guests but that number is currently 91 (!!!) so we may have to re-think that. I mean, our wedding has 150 guests so 2/3 of that at the rehearsal is a bit much! We may have to do a cut off of a x-number-of-miles-traveled or something to make it more reasonable. Sorry guys!
• Rehearsal Dinner Invitations: Barb & I also picked out rehearsal dinner invitations! I think they are going to be super cute! We're doing BBQ themed ones to let the guests know that it's supposed to be casual. Of course, I already have my dress for the party and it's not casual, but I'm the bride and that's my perogative!
• Ushers/ Wedding Assts.: Erik & I decided on the people we want to help out with the wedding the day of that aren't in the bridal party. They all haven't been asked but I hope that they will say yes!
• Return of the Chair Covers: After going back and forth on this (twice), we have decided that we want chair covers at the reception. Now, this should actually read Erik wants chair covers, and I wasn't going to mention it to be nice, but I'm annoyed about the chair covers and am not feeling very gracious. ;) At any rate, we have to now go back to TCS and pick out the colors, which we'll be doing Easter weekend. I'm thinking navy with light blue bows... Thoughts?

Those are the big ones. Still have to find a place to do my hair and makeup! Maybe Easter Monday since I'll be up there for the chair covers and Easter anyway. Stay tuned for pictures and updates from Fitting #11, which took place this morning.
