Busy bees

Since I last updated, we have made a significant dent on the wedding planning front. I am proud to say that we have:

• Printed our invitations and started assembly (crossing my fingers to get these out within the next week);
• Ordered and received my veil (I highly recommend Occansey Designs...you get to design every element of your veil; they are QUICK; and they are inexpensive).
• Ordered (and received) more paper for our programs and RSVP cards;
• Spent a Saturday afternoon at IKEA gathering more supplies for our centerpieces (thanks Stephanie!!!); and
• Found and bought earrings for the big day (still trying to pick out a bracelet!).

Other than those items, I really do not have much more to update on. Strike that, reverse it. We did get an unexpected (and unfortunate) call that Murray's (our rehearsal dinner site) is closing. Bad news bears! If we can get the deposit back, Jacob's parents are looking into other locales around town and if not, we will be having the rehearsal dinner at Merrick Inn (also owned by the people who own Murray's). It is what it is.

To end on a brighter note, I think I might have decided on a photo we are going to display at the rehearsal dinner (and have our fabulous wedding party sign the mat):

Happy Thursday!

Rehearsal Dinner Plans

Our rehearsal dinner destination has been finalized. We will be dining at Murray's on Harrodsburg Road, September 17.


I must say, I am pretty excited about this. Ever since they converted the old house into a restaurant (orginally called The Homestead I believe) I have always wanted to eat there. And now I will! Murray's is owned by the same people who own Merrick Inn, over on Tates Creek Road.

And the menu looks spectacular! A taste of Kentucky for sure. I am not entirely sure of what will be on the specific menu for our event, but you can bet it will be delicious.

What makes it even more perfect is that Southland is just down the road. The rehearsal at the church will begin at 6:30 and immediately following, we will head down to Murray's for dinner in a private dining room.

And I have to admit, our wonderful photographer, Mary, agreed to stop with Jacob and I at the Bellerive Kroger on the way to dinner for a quick photo shoot. Why? Jacob and I actually met at that Kroger...almost a decade ago. So I thought it might be kind of fun to shoot a few photos from there...at least for memory's sake!
