So we finally picked a honeymoon...

With just 48 days to go, Ryan and I finally decided on a honeymoon destination yesterday!!! We're going to be spending 5 nights and 6 days at the Nantasket Beach Resort in Hull, Massachusetts about 45 mins away from Boston.  I've been to Boston before but Ryan hasn't and I'm super excited to go back :) We already booked our tickets to go see the Blue Man Group while we're there!  There are tons of things that I want to do and see, the whole city is just so rich in history and although I'm a proud Canadian, the American Revolution fascinates me.  I think I'll have to keep reminding myself that we need some 'alone time' too!

DIY update

I just finished up a couple more DIYs so I thought I'd post some pics cause I think they're pretty :) DIY instructions for the corsages to come once I do my last one and remember to take step by step pics!

Taking a relax day

Its been nuts lately so I decided to take a relax day today and update my DIY instructions with my latest completed project, the wand I made for my flower girl to carry down the aisle.  It was surprisingly easy and Ryan says it doesn't even look like something I made but more like something you'd buy in the store which made me even more proud of it :) There are a couple more pics of it on the DIY page, but I wanted to share one here too since I love it so much.

We met with our DJ yesterday and he is awesome.  He was so receptive to the requests we had and seems just like a genuinely nice guy.  His website is www.djalpha.ca in case anyone is looking for a DJ in London, ON.
Everything seems to be finally coming together.  We're having our contract signing meeting with our cake decorator next weekend which I am excited about.  We met with her originally about a month ago and her cake was DIVINE!  This is the inspiration for our design, although we're going to make it 3 tiers and with green fondant gerberas at the sides where the swag switches directions and our cake topper is a football groom with the bride tackling him

My mom and I were super busy yesterday making all of the adult favours for the reception.  We made 40 jars of mint chocolate chip jelly bean jelly and 48 jars of apple jelly bean jelly which both turned out great!

The recipe for the jelly can be found at http://www.bernardin.ca/pages/recipe_page/51.php?pid=319 and I made the custom labels at http://www.stickeryou.com.

Its only 2 months today until the wedding so I'm starting to get extremely excited and equally extremely nervous about everything getting done!  I really need to bite the bullet and set up an appointment to get my dress altered.  Not that it needs much done, its just a matter of getting the appointment set up!  Wish me luck and pray that I don't lose my mind in the next 2 months!
