It's all starting to happen...

I have booked the church (yes, I said church!).  We have decided to have a traditional church wedding at the Grace Baptist Church, with our reception at the Legion Hall in Hope, BC!  I've even gone so far as to get a couple of quotes from caterers and photographers.  I guess those will be the next things that I'll have to book, but they're so bloody expensive.  I got one quote for catering that was in excess of $10,000.  For that price, they should have people actually spoon feed us on little silver spoons whilst giving us foot rubs!

So now that we've actually secured our date, we need to start planning our engagement party!  It'll just be a more intimate gathering of our families (so that they can all meet!), and our closest friends... But seeing as how my crazy parents bought us each a flying lesson in a Cessna for Christmas, we figured that would be an awesome day to get everyone together, and to get some amazing engagement pics (why not throw that in there too!  Haha).  So hopefully around June, we'll have some great pics and a few good laughs with our families.  I can't say that I'm not nervous about getting in a plane though.  Heights terrify me!!!

Oh, here's something else.  I went through all of the pictures that I'd pinned on Pinterest and deleted the ones that are definitely not happening.  It's funny what a year can do.  I had posted so many chalkboard/mason jar/lace/burlappy ideas on there, but it's all so overdone that I had to giggle a bit about even posting them in the first place.  Now all my ideas are being kept on my super secret facebook group that only my wedding party is privy to... I'll post the odd tidbit here though.  ;)
