the missing wedding dress







Hi Guys,
So in the few weeks since I've posted things have been interesting to say the least! I was supposed to pick up my gown 2-3 weeks after we purchased it. I called to see what was up, and come to find out it's backordered until October. They offered for me to go try the 4 and if it fits (the 2 barely fit) they would do the alterations for free. Mom and I went and it didn't fit as well as I wanted it to. They're going to hold onto it until October with my name on it so that if the 2 doesn't come they'll alter the 4. UGH! Oh well, at least I have one and it's on its way- plus I don't need it until september (I just like to have things done and not have to worry about them).


Anyways, the pictures above are of our location - "The Point - Lake and Golf Resort". The ceremony will be outside under the gazebo so no one will melt too badly, plus we have a fabulous back-drop of the lake. I can't wait to lakeside pictures :) so cute! (Plus we can leave by water if we so choose) The cocktail hour will be really cool as well, the bar area has an outdoor patio with wall-to-wall windows and then room will open up onto the reception room. The pictures show the room with tables everywhere, but in reality they will be pushed into somewhat of a circle so that we can have a dance floor in the middle. yayay! i'm so excited :)


We also went to Maine for the 4th of July and to visit Casey's family/friends. While we were there his parents had an engagement party for us which was so sweet! Sarah, Justin's girlfriend works at a printing shop and made us THE coolest poster that everyone signed, and will be able to make us save the date magnets. We won't be sending anything official out until September as that gives everyone a year to plan, but the date is confirmed for the 5th of September. There are pictures below :)


For those that are curious, I haven't blocked any rooms yet but I will be blocking some at:

SpringHill Suites by Marriott 121 Gateway Blvd, Mooresville, NC - (704) 658-0053‎

Hampton Inn & Suites 119 Gallery Center Dr.Mooresville, NC (704) 660-7700


I've got all kinds of invitation samples on the way, and Casey and I were looking at some ideas when we were in Maine, so who knows!


That's it for now .... stay tuned for more updates :)
Love, Casey & Gina
