Golfing on Friday

A heads up to anyone who will be in the Albion area Friday morning June 5. We're playing golf that morning, probably about 10am or so. If you are going to play, let me know ASAP so we can get some tee times. Those who can/want to are playing 18, but I know Angie and some bridesmaids are doing their nails in the afternoon and are skipping out after 9. Let me know in the comments or send me an email!

MMMMM MINTS

What is a reception without homemade cream cheese mints? Thats right, we got together and had a mint making party. Many white and green mints were made, each color a different flavor. It took us a while to figure out which molds work and which ones didn't, of course you can't remold them...thats just silly...you eat them. 1260 mints later...we had enough. It was a lot of fun and thank you guys for helping.

Eric's thoughts: Powdered sugar, cream cheese and flavoring went into a bowl. Beaten and battered, only 1260 mints made it out alive... (Cue dramatic music)

I finally got to see my dress!

A few weekends ago I got to see my dress...in person...finally! It has been a bit challenging trying to get away from work. My mom, Jenny, and Jenna (my two maids of honor) came with me. Luckily the bridesmaid dresses came in the day before, so they got try on their dresses too. We took pictures together in our dresses but you just get to see their picture. I'm so excited, I love the dresses. After they let me parade around the bridal store for like an hour we had to go home to make wedding mints...to be continued

Another registery

We decided to do something a little different...when registering for gifts. We have registered for things for our honeymoon. Go to: www.justtogether.com/ericnangie and you can see some different things that we would like to do on our honeymoon. Thanks to my Aunt Elaine for the idea, some of her coworker's daughters are registered there.

Flower girls

Lately I have been trying to accumulate all of the accessories needed for my flower girls. Most of you know, we are having two flower girls who are both Eric's 2nd cousins. They are very close in age and will make adorable additions to our wedding party. I'm very excited because I have found dresses for each of them. The dress are similar but different enough to give some personality. Just last night we received the flower girl baskets in the mail. Poor Eric... I was very excited as I opened the packages. The baskets are soo cute and elegant and I just wanted to carry it around all night. I may have to order another so I can carry one up! Just kidding. My bridal bouquet will be exquisite, but that is for another blog. So between the dresses and the baskets everything is coming together, however, I have a few more accessories to add to the picture so the fun is still coming. Tax season is well under way so I am definitely testing my organizational skills that is for sure!

The Cake

Most of you know that I have a little side business of cake decorating, and though many of you think I'm crazy, I am doing my own wedding cake. I've been decorating cakes since high school, so during that time, you would think I have had my wedding cake picked for a while. Well...that is not the case. Eric knew exactly what he wanted. Can anybody guess? Memorial Stadium GO BIG RED! So I'm getting all of his details hashed out. I think this stadium cake pan will help tremendously. I also have a few tricks up my sleeve that even the groom might not know about. hmmm... So after many nights of searching I have a vision of my cake. Actually it is a combination of a these pictures. I definitely know I want the layers stacked directly on top of each other. With traditional round layers I think it will have a simple yet elegant appeal to it. I love this brown one with the scrolls. I'm not really a lot of flowers on the cake kinda girl but definitely love scrollies. This other cake is going to be the base of my idea. I love how the color shows through on the bottom of the layers. With my colors as royal blue and ivory, I think it will look so vibrant. Now the trick is to not make everyone's mouth blue hehehe. Hopefully that gives you an idea of the look I'm going for and task I am undertaking. Because I can not come up with the actual picture, you will definitely have to make sure to check out the cake.
