Hi Guys,
So on Saturday we picked out tuxedo's and got registered at Macy's. The guys will ALL be in the same tux - groom, groomsmen, jr. groomsman, ring bearer and dads. The wedding party will all have silver vests and pink paisley ties that we have for them. The Dad's get to pick whatever vest/tie combo they would like in order to match the Mom's dresses. I really don't want anyone in black ties/vests nor do I want the Mom's in black dresses- I just think it'll look prettier for the pictures. The tuxes and vests etc. are all here http://www.menswearhouse.com/tuxedos/detail.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=1408474395562393&FOLDER%3C%3EbrowsePath=1408474395562393&bmUID=1222136646669
If you go to your local Men's Wearhouse they can fit you, and then you can pick up the tux in Charlotte which is awesome! They have us under our last names and I have the account number if they need help finding us in the system.
We also started registering at Macy's - if you want to go check stuff out go for it! The 2 things without pictures or prices at the bottom are a mattress and a bed. (We didn't need pots, but we need a bed for sure)We are also going to register at Target and Bed Bath and Beyond or Linens and Things. Man! Registering is tough work! It really gets tedious after a while, and you're going "I dunno, do we need it?" "I dunno, do we?" "I dunno" back and forth and back and forth. But one store is done!
Ok, bedtime! :)
We love you all!
love, casey & gina

Official Bridesmaids Dresses!
So we finally decided on Bridesmaids dresses! Katie loved the dress so much she actually purchased it for a fundraiser, knowing that it may or may not be my decision for the wedding. SURPRISE!!!! I did NOT go with pink gowns! They're "Pewter" in color and so my color palette has changed for the wedding from pale pink and pale green to pale pink and gray! Here's a link to the gowns! http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridesmaids_detail.jsp?stid=3732&prodgroup=110&sid=24442 ---- Like ALL of david's bridal dresses, they look MUCH better on people than the stupid mannequins. I wasn't a huge fan of david's bridal, but this dress won me over - plus having bridesmaids all over the country, this was the easiest thing to do :). That's it for tonight! :)
love,

Photographers, Save the Dates, Invites and STUFF!
Hi Everyone!
So... Where to begin? Since it is now officially September, one year from the wedding, Casey gets to take part in the wedding planning!! Not that he hasn't been taking part, he has been doing LOTS with me, BUT when he got bored he would conveniently pull out the "I don't have to do wedding planning until September" card. We decided on a photographer, who seems really sweet and great and will give us exactly what we (I) want - great coverage (2 shooters, the rehearsal, both of us getting ready, the ceremony, reception and an engagement session), a great album and a larger print for the house. PLUS, her pictures are fabulous! We really need to thank Cheryl for the help with that - I would never have found Hope without her! I have pretty much narrowed down the invitations and Casey and I will be tweaking the wording and colors soon. (I won't order them yet, so don't freak out yet) I'll have to talk with Sarah about the save the dates as soon as we get the invite list back from Casey's parents and we finalize the wording as well as the picture we'd like to use on it. So yeah!! Things are rolling along!!
I think I've narrowed down the bridemaids dresses, but we'll see..... I want to make sure that they look good on all of the girls. Sara said she's going to try some on for me, and Katie and I are going in on Monday to try some on as well. I really want to make sure these look decent on everyone!! At least I picked a color, right? They're david's bridal "pearl pink" - I also think I want a longer gown as it's an evening wedding.
oye. ok it got late on me all of a sudden!
love you all lots!!
