One Registry Down

Now that the big day is getting closer and closer, we are getting all the more pumped!

We started registering, and so far have items selected from Bed Bath and Beyond. If you go to www.bedbathandbeyond.com, scroll down to "find a wedding registry" and type in "Kelly Jennings", there are actually a few other Kelly Jennings who are also registered! Obviously select the one that says and Nicholas Morin :-)

Our first registry experience was one we are likely not to forget any time soon. The first day we went was the day southern California got insane amounts of rain- so much so the sidewalks disappeared under the water and...the power went out while we were scanning items at Bed Bath and Beyond! Apparently another customer screamed (afraid of the dark), and while we appreciated our registry person energetically getting flashlights so she could continue to show us different duvets, we decided it was probably best to come back post-crazy rain.

We're close to selecting our wedding invitations- I found a website that allowed us to customize them to exactly how we want them, and save oodles of dollars too (mygatsby.com).

We have our caterer booked for the rehearsal dinner, and she makes amaaaaazing food! The plan at this time is to have the dinner in Karen's backyard; I really like the idea of the more intimate and relaxed setting. So, phew! One more big thing taken care of.

Less than five months!

Time is flying by! I suppose it does and it doesn't feel like we've been engaged for quite a bit of time now. I've noticed though that as the date approaches I'm getting more excited, and it's seriously affecting my ability to focus on school...good thing for spring break! Amber emailed us a list of things we need to be doing, so I'm trying to knock out most of it this week.

Last weekend Nick and I went to the jewelry district downtown and purchased our wedding rings. It's weird to have them already, but know that we aren't supposed to wear them yet. I told Nick he should get a practice ring to get used to wearing one.

We booked Auntie Em's Catering for our cake and desserts, and I am sooo excited! I love desserts! Sorry, there will be no chocolate or champagne fountain. We were able to save quite a bit (yay!) and I'm confident the desserts will be yummy. We had been going back and forth on what we wanted so I'm glad we finally sealed the deal with Auntie Em's.

Right now we're looking into invitations...I have an appointment tomorrow to meet with Diana of Emily Rose Papers and hopefully we'll at least get some ideas about the look of the invitations.

Erm...I think that's about it as far as what's going on here... things are coming along...
