The Boys Attire

Dan was in a wedding 2 years ago for one of his best-friends Kevin and lucky us Kevin's wife Tasha has great taste and 3 out of 4 of Dan's groomsmen were in the wedding, so to save the boys money and me time looking we decided to use the same suits again. My dad and Dan's brother have to buy the suit, but I am sure they can use them again. Originally I was going to go with tuxes, but since its a Spring wedding on the beach I thought a ligt suit would be better.


To compliment the wedding colors I got the boys this tie from The Tie Bar to go with the suit.

Fabulous Paper

How fabulous is this paper by The Paper Source, when I first saw it I knew I had to incorporate it into the wedding somewhere, but wasn't sure where. I now think I will wrap the middle gift box with it for my card holder. Kind of like this one by The Wedding Main St. I love this, but for $124.99 plus shipping and handling, I just cant bring myself to do it, especially when I can make one myself!
I am going to have to wrap it so no frontal from an angel shows, haha!

New New York Housewives??

According to this article we might be getting all new housewives in New York City because of salary disputes between all six cast members!! OMG!!! This is my favorite group of housewives! I hope they can work things out! I would miss some of them!!

4th of July

I hope everyone had a nice 4th of July!
Ours was a little different this year, my parents had a big party planned because my cousins from Texas that we had not seen in 8 years were coming down. It was suppose to be a huge family event, but then early Friday morning my mom went into the hospital very unexpectedly. Family event was canceled, but Dan and I still came over to be with my dad, grill out, swim and visit my mom, who is doing a lot better. Made me realize sometimes I take for granted all the holidays I get to spend with my family since they are all in town.

Wedding Venue!

So here is my wedding venue, I know for sure I am doing the cocktail hour and reception here and am still trying to figure out if we are doing the ceremony. I am thinking most likely it will be here, its just too pretty to say no! I liked this venue because out of all the hotels on the beach this is the only one with a room that has windows. Whats the point of being on the beach if you cant see it! I am so excited because the cocktail hour will be in a different location than the reception on the beach lawn and deck next to the ceremony.
