Centerpieces - Check

Whew! Reception decor progress was made today. I was having a real hard time finding unscented pillar candles for some reason. Fortunately, with Spring comes wedding planning (apparently) because the craft stores are now full of them. So, the centerpieces are pretty much done other than the project Brian is taking on (see previous post). We also found some decorations for the bar and for the breeze-way area leading into the hall. This all means that reception decor is pretty much done. We need a guestbook, but other than that I think we're set.

We received the literature from the wedding officiant mentioned previously and, like her website, it's very thorough. Still working on this task...

We also stopped in a local antique shop today. A friend of Brian's had mentioned as where she found her wedding band. They had lots of beautiful rings, but we think we'll go with the band the engagement ring was intended to go with. It was good to see the other rings though because it pointed out that we prefer the original :-)

This week, we hope to go to some suit shops to look find Brian's outfit for the big day. We're not sure how this will work out. We'd like him just to wear a suit (which he would likely buy) but that creates a problem for the other guys in the wedding as it can be difficult to find places that rent suits.
