As of Friday it will be just 3 MONTHS until the wedding! Time is passing so quickly! We have gotten a lot done, but it still feels like there is a whole lot more to do! I went home a few weeks ago when Matt was on Trek and mom and I worked on some things.
The biggest thing is that we booked a photographer! We went back and forth about what to do as far as pictures, but Matt and I both really wanted good pictures, so we found someone that we all really liked and, even though it was WAY more expensive than what we had in mind, we booked them! Even though it is a lot of money, it is a good price considering the quality of the pictures and what all you get with the package. Plus, they cut us a deal since our wedding is going to be so small. We got to meet the woman who would actually be the photographer for us and see her work and we were really impressed with her. Here is a link for her portfolio: http://www.photosbymichaels.com/portfolioaudrie.htm We will get two photographers (Audrie will be the head photographer) so that will be good so that we can get some different pictures. Plus, the main thing that I wanted, we get a CD with all of the images and all of the rights to print them as we please. There are other things with the package, but that was the main thing I wanted.
Some other wedding updates are that we picked out a wedding band for Matt! There isn't a picture of it online or I would post it, but take my word for it: It's cool! :)
We also chose an excursion for the cruise! It is called "Ultimate Adventure". We went back and forth for a long time trying to decide what to do, but we ended up picking this one because it had more of a variety of activities. Here is the description of it:
- Begin your adventure with a high-speed boat ride along the coast, admiring the lovely scenery.
- Arrive at Punta Sur Ecological Park’s Crystal Beach, on the southeastern corner of the island, where you’ll see a stunning 4-mile stretch of white sand beach.
- Discover the colorful tropical fish and local marine life as you snorkel above one of the coral reefs, just off the shore.
- Enjoy kayaking with friends and family through the amazingly clear and tranquil waters.
- Stroll along the pristine beach or relax in the hammocks or your lounge chair, taking in the beauty of nature that surrounds you.
- Satisfy your appetite with a Mexican buffet of fresh tropical fruits, guacamole, salsa and much more.
Sounds good to me! :)
We also picked a hotel for the wedding night. We chose the Omni Mandalay in Las Colinas. That is the same place that Jason & Summer and Brad & Nova stayed! That actually is NOT why we picked it, but that is just how it ended up! We started out with a list of about 20 hotels and bed and breakfasts and eventually narrowed it down to that one!
I think that is about all of the wedding news I have for now! Keep praying for good weather so we can have the ceremony outside like we would like! :)
