Darn you, Blogger Gnomes!!

So I keep checking my own (well, our own) blog to see if there's anything new. And then I remember that if I want to see something new, I have to actually write a post. Sadly, the Blogger gnomes will not create interesting entries at night, surprising me when I check my posts the next day. Alas. The cats also do not cook dinner while I'm at work, even though I keep hoping that they will.

The latest news is that Justin and I have done the VAST majority of our registering. We went to Bed, Bath, & Beyond last Sunday and stayed for, oh, I don't know, seven years or so. It was fun, though: we FINALLY got to use the scanner gun! The lady at Dillards totally hogged it. We were not pleased.

I am very open to suggestions regarding wedding invitations. What did you other married folks do? Where did you get invitations from? I'm just pretty shocked at the cost.

Also, I'm looking for ideas for ceremony music. Trey's playing piano, so he's capable of whatever you pick. I just don't want any of the "normal" songs, you know? Always gotta be difficult.

Ideas, please!!!

Making progress!

So here's the latest wedding news: we've ordered bridesmaid dresses, the mother of the bride has ordered her dress, we've chosen a hotel for folks to stay at, and we've begun registering!

We went to Neiman Marcus to register for dinnerware... do not fear, we're not ONLY registering there. They just happened to have the dishes that we like. As it turns out, we're both pretty picky about dishes... who knew? If you want to see them, you can go to www.juliska.com. I think we'll probably register for some serving pieces too, because Justin said, "Shouldn't we register for some serving pieces?" And I said, "Oh. Yeah. Guess we should do that."

It's odd to be picking out real grownup dishes and flatware and whatnot, especially since I got REALLY used to using plastic spoons and cereal bowls for all my eating needs while in college. (Can I get a witness?)

Oh, btw, more info on the hotel accomodations later. It's the Staybridge Suites near the Galleria in case you're wondering. Must work.
