Group Pictures

Getting everyone ready for the surprise picture was probably the most nerve wracking point of the day for me. The guys were not cooperating and they were taking their time walking up to the location for the pictures. It was hard to time when I was going to come out because we were going to have a reveal picture for Jonathan to see me for the first time.

Luckily I had a great photographer who kept me cool and calm through this and things turned out better than expected.

15 Ways We Will Save Money!

1. We designed our monogram
2. We will design our save the dates, invitations, etc. and print them ourselves

4. We are not planning to rent a limousine or a car
5. We will hopefully be married by a priest in the family
6. We are having cupcakes instead of cake
7. Instead of cut floral center pieces, we will probably have potted orchids (also saves time!)
8. Flowers for bouquets will be purchased from the flower mart
9. We are thinking of hooking up our iPod/ laptop to speakers - we'll see about this one
10. Not having open bar - sorry
11. We will hold the ceremony and reception at the same location
12. Probably have buffet instead of sit down meals
13. Jonathan's tux/suit will hopefully be free!
