VEGAS BABY!!!! ....well Maybe

Thinking of doing a small ceremony in Las Vegas.  What is everyone's thoughts on that idea?  Issues or concerns?

Top Ten List - Wedding Style

Alrighty ladies, now that the intros have been made I will fill you in on what I know about my wedding thus far.

1) It will most likely be in the fall (90% chance)

2) It just won't be in the fall of THIS year (stupid money and stupid being responsible)

3) I will have cupcakes instead of a wedding cake, which Emily T. has so graciously agreed to help me with (if you haven't seen her cupcakes and cookies on facebook you should check them out).

4) My photographer will be Janet Howard of Janet Howard Studio (does all the Vo family portraits and weddings).

5) If he is able to do it, our officiant will be Rev. Blackwell (he sponsored Tim's family in this country and has married all of his brothers and sisters so far).

6) It will most likely be an outdoor ceremony/reception, if the weather is agreeable (later I will post up some locations that we are considering).

7) There will be no flower girl/ring bearer.  Too many cute kids to chose from and more than 2 would just look ridiculous.

8) I will be following Selena's lead and allowing my bridesmaids to select their dresses (I have veto power though), and I will give you the color/colors to choose from.

9) I am considering many alternative ideas so don't expect this to be your mother's wedding.  Any one that knows me knows I do what I want, when I want, and this wedding is no exception. I will post ideas I am considering either to this blog or to my pinterest board, feel free to leave comments and suggestions.

10) I am done making this list lol.

Intros and Nutshells

Alright ladies, my first step in wedding planning is officially complete. The bridesmaids have been chosen: Kristi Bohannon (MoH), Danielle Williams (you may know her as my cousin Brittany), Selena Hall (nee Coats), Emily Tjahjono (nee Manns) and Lauren Vincent (my new sister via my brother). Take a brief moment and congratulate yourselves for being included in this extremely elite group and then take a moment to think about how awesome I am :p .............. done? good.

I have set up this blog so that I can keep all of you in the planning loop and from time to time use this as a sound board for ideas.

I would now appreciate it if you would each take a few moments to say "hello" to each other in the comments section. I know several of you know each other but others are new to this echelon of my friendship and I want everyone to feel welcome and at ease.

More posts will follow soon and I look forward to the good times to come :D

Love,

Ems
