Reception Venue Booked!

Yes it is true; we booked our reception site this week. I supposed the title made it seem like it was book by someone else. This means that we have a definitive date! Mark your calendars August 29, 2009 at Top of the Town. We will not be sending out our save the dates for a while but I wanted to mention the date so you guys could start getting as excited as we are, haha. I signed the contract and faxed it over to them on Monday and I mailed them the check (yuck) on Tuesday.

We have yet to go see Jefferson Court, the new place we are thinking of having our Ceremony. Luke’s Aunt Cherie knows a guy who owns the building where Jefferson Court is. Supposedly it is a courtyard, with nice flowers and ivy. I am hoping to go see it sometime either this weekend or next week. I will let you know when that happens, and put pictures up. If that does not work out I will have to wait until August 29,2008 to send out a site use request form to the national parks department in DC for the Netherlands Carillion.



Joke I heard last night at my softball game: (I don’t exactly know how the beginning goes but you can really make anything up for this one, here goes, make sure you say the answer out loud to yourself)

Q: What did the Brown Chicken say to the Brown Cow?

A: Brown-chica Brown-Cow

Ahhh so clever, I wish I could take credit for that one but I cannot. Well that is all for now, keep checking back for more updates!

Engagement Party

We had our Engagement party this past Sunday the 15th. Unfortunately we did not take many pictures. (It was Anya's job and we were all too involved in Mario Kart and Unbeatable Banzuke to remember).  However, it seemed like everyone had a great time. The food was amazing, my mom and grandma did an amazing job with everything and I want to thank them again. THANKS MOMMY! To everyone that came thank you so much for coming and to those that could not make it thank you for the calls, you were all in our thoughts. 

On another note Erik and I took our moms, Ava and Anya to Top of the Town and they loved it! I am going to finalize everything with them this week.  We are all super excited.  I still have to go and check out the potential ceremony site sometime either this week/weekend or next.  Once that is all taken care of I will be taking a break from our wedding planning for a little while and fulfill my MOH duties for Diana :). 

Once Top of the Town is booked, we will post the date and the time, so stay tuned.
