23 days left

You know, by mentioning how far away the wedding in days, it seems so much closer then saying about 3 weeks, or a little less then a month. It's hard to believe but a month from now we'll be married and our honeymoon will be almost over. I myself am looking forward to going to Tennesse, if Ben doesn't change it on me, but I don't think he will. So I'll see what he does, I just want to know for packing sake.

New kink

So the newest kink in the wedding, the mints melting for the favors. Needless to say we have to replace about 200 wrappers, and all but 34 mints...very discouraging, we're just glad we found it now and not the day before.

One good note, nothing to do with the favors, but Denise has done it again and made us to beautiful candle rings for the memory candles. I can't wait to display them

Grandma Buettner's Packer Party

My mom (Grandma Buettner) has started the tradition of a Packer party. Last year it was with just Harrison, this year mom had it earlier because Susan, Joe and Amelia were home for the bridal shower. I don't have any pictures of Harrison in his Packer outfit, but I do have some of Amelia.

Bridal Shower

So this afternoon, was the bridal shower. There was about 25 people in attendance, and one was MIA because she was unable to find the church that the shower was at. It was fun talking to everyone, and my dad's sisters were able to meet Amelia for the first time. I'll hope to get pictures up later, but Thanks to my bridesmaids Susan, Shanna and Kristi.

Kinks...gotta love them

Ya know wedding plans were going so well, then the snags and kinks started showing up. The reception venue has new ownership, but our reservations are still good. Our spot for rehearsal dinner new ownership and new name, more then likely reservations may not be upheld. So have to find a different one. Our officiant isn't returning our phone calls to meet with him and finalize details, and our ceremony musician hasn't gotten back to us with the numbers needed to finish off the wedding program. So it's now about a month and a half, and I get the kinks and the snags, why couldn't they have come earlier....

Bridesmaids

For those you are interested and won't be able to attend the wedding. Here's a picture of the bridesmaids dress, but they will be in Fresh blue (navy) and white. I'm going to try and make sure I add the link from the blog to the thank you cards. we'll see how it goes.
