| About our wedding: Church & Reception My Dress BM Possibilities Vendor List Jason proposed October 17, 2003! Here are two of our engagement pics that we had taken in November '03 Scanned Professional Pictures from our Wedding Our Program with the flowers Church Formals Me and my sisters One of my favorites of me and my mom Pictures from the Reception OUR WEDDING!!!!! pics thanks to chris&me -- one of my beautiful bridesmaids! :) We went to Tennessee in March 2005. FI and I at the Jim Beam distillery: After the NASCAR race in Bristol, TN: These pics were taken on 10-17-04, one year after Jason proposed. We went back to Lake Geneva to "re-live" the day so-to-speak. Unfortunately there are no pictures of us together since we didn't want to ask anyone to take one! :) This is the bench by the lake where we were sitting when Jason popped the question! Here is a pic of my E-Ring!! :) We are getting married at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Menomonee Falls. (Pics thanks to surfergirl28) Our reception will be at the Polish Center of Wisconsin in Franklin 
This is the inside, where the dinner/dancing will take place. Pic thanks to knottie mooniebutt! Here is my wedding gown!! I love this beautiful Mori Lee dress. Here are some pics of me in the dress!! Although the dress obviously needs a few alterations, you can still get the overall idea! :) (sorry about the flash dot things, these are pics of pics.) Here are some more pics of me in MY dress (my actual dress that I ordered!) 
My Bustle 
Hair and Make-Up Trial. These pictures aren't the best, but they're alright. My lipstick appears more pink than it did in "real life". Also, the curls in my hair will be different sizes, like some bigger and some smaller. My Shoes from www.shoes.com 
We picked out and ordered Bridesmaid Dresses!!! The dresses are black. 
Here's the detail of the bodice(top) of the dresss: 
This is a close-up of the back of the dress: 
Flower Girl Dresss We are having two flower girls, one is Jason's sister who will be almost 6 in July and the other is my Goddaughter who will turn 3 the day before our wedding. This is pretty much what the dresses look like, in white. 
We like this idea for the card box (pic thanks to some other knotties)-OR-We may decide to make something else if we don't use this idea. Cake ideas that I like (with fuschia, orange and green flowers): 
The Bridesmaids are each going to be carrying fuschia, orange and green flowers. I am totally in love with this color combination! I don't know what I want boquet to look like yet, though! Here are some boquet possibilities, many found of weddingchannel.com: 
Centerpiece Ideas: This one is supposed to be like a lava lamp, that same effect...the pic doesn't really look like it, though. It's an idea from For Better or For Worse. 
I thought it would look better, but it doesn't we have something different in mind--that includes some flowers and citrus!! :) Cute Things for our wedding day: 
Favor Ideas 
Here's a pic thats pretty close to what our favors will look like. The color of jelly bellys is still up in the air, and that "R" will probably be a little bigger, but here's the general idea! My Bridal Shower 5-22-05 My sister (MOH) planned an AWESOME "Pretty In Pink" Themed shower for me. She did such a great job--It was more than I could have ever imagined!! Here are some gifts she wrapped for me and the name tag she had on each gift: Here's the Food and Drinks: Some Decorations: Yes, the refrigerator was wrapped in pink! This is the leg of one of the tables. This or bows tied on was how the LEGS of the tables were decorated! Opening Gifts: A TOTALLY unexpected gift from my Mom and sister! Cute socks that say "Just Married" with a car with a Bride and Groom inside from one of my Flower Girls! The gift that made me cry: My sis(MOH) and Grandma put this together, my "Something Blue": A piece of satin from my Grandma's Wedding Gown with mine and FI's initials and wedding date on it. It'll be sewn into my dress. How great!!!! AND last but not least, me with my beautiful Bridesmaids!!! I am an AUNT! My sis had her baby girl (EMILY ANN) 11-29-04 This is the most recent picture of Emily and Myself: Here are the invites! DIY. lots of time, but I LOVE how they turned out!! This is where we wrote the guests names, as the inner envelope. DIY Flower girl Baskets made w/ MUCH help from FI's Aunt. She made the ring bearer pillow, too!
