Wedding "Woo-Hoo"s and Wedding "Woes"

Last weekend was a busy wedding weekend. With only three months to go, a lot of my spare time has been occupied with wedding planning. So, last Friday I was off work and ready to plan! I met with the invite printing place, hairdresser, and the photographer on Friday. The invites will be ready to "stuff" in a week, my hair is all planned, and we are ready for pictures!

Here's what my hair will look like...you'll have to wait 'til the wedding to see it with the veil ;)

Saturday, we met with our wonderful minister, Reverend Brock Davis. :) We got some stuff figured out and pigged out at Bob Evans for breakfast. As soon as we left, we noticed that the streetlights were out. This wasn't too surprising because we had about 5 inches of snow on top of already existing ice. Once we were home, we noticed the power was out there as well as nearly everywhere else in New Castle. That's where the "wedding woes" comes in. My shower was on Saturday. There was no power in town not to mention 5 inches of snow. I was worried that the shower would have to be cancelled or nobody would show.

Fortunately, we continued with our plans. My fabulous aunts had me a "romantic" shower by candlelight. Although some people could not make the drive in the snow, several people showed up! After about 20 minutes in the dark, the lights came on in time for me to open all of my great gifts. Then, they went out for about 10 minutes, and back on again a bit later. It ended up being a great and memorable shower and I am so lucky to have people that want to drive in a bunch of snow and sit in the dark to celebrate my upcoming wedding. :) Susie, Carla, Robin, and Colleen. My aunts. :)

Katie, Karla, Betsy, and Meggan. My BSU friends.

Wendee, Steven's mom. Patty, my mom.

What's coming up? Well, on Friday we leave for Florida. We are going on a cruise with Steven's family. After that, I have a busy couple of weeks at school and we hope Steven will have a contract signed. Then, we will start looking for a house and a job for me! The wedding planning will start back up in April during my spring break! Check back in a couple of weeks to see cruise pictures!
