This is Danica, my girl ring bearer. Matt and I have decided that we don't want a flower girl because it's an outdoor wedding and there are going to be enough flowers and foliage outside.

We are going to have two ring bearers. Danica and her brother Axel. Axel is going to be wearing the same tux as the guys are. He has to wait until he gets fitted and then when the day comes, which is only 111 days away, he gets to wear it! :)


Some things are changing for the wedding, we have a different groomsman, well groomsgirl, Caitlin! :) Caitlin is Matt’s youngest sister and we wanted to get her involved in the wedding. No, she isn’t wearing a tux, she is going to be wearing a long brown dress that matches the tuxes, brown. I am super excited for this!

The other thing is the shoes are changing, the bridesmaids weren’t able to get their size for the first shoes so we found some that are very similar, still brown and still flats, but with a bit more style. My shoes, ugggg the first pair that I picked out were really cute in the picture, but when I got them and put them on they were super ugly and didn’t fit right. Now I have to find other ones.

Invitations are all finished and in the envelopes, waiting for a few more addresses and then we are going to be sending them out sometime next month! :)

Bri and Kevin booked their flight for the wedding!

Woo Hoo things are finally coming together!





So last night, I booked our honeymoon.

We were just going to go to Seattle for a couple of days to get away, but Kasey had a great idea...cruise!! So I looked and looked and finally found one that was rather inexpensive. I asked Matt what he thought about going on a cruise and he thought that it was going to be way more money so he said "Just book it!" So, I DID!

We booked a 4 night with the Carnival Cruise line to Mexico!!!

Food is free! They have SUSHI!!!!!!!!!!!! Mmmmmm....

We are leaving from PDX to go to LAX and then from there we get on the boat and 1st stop is in Cali second stop in in Mexico and the final day we are just on the boat! :):):):):) If you could really tell I am super excited!!!


So I think I figured out who is going to be doing my hair. Her name is Emily and she works in vancouver with one of my friends from Costco. She is the least expensive and she is good :) Her salon is called Bliss Salon & Spa. If you want more info just let me know! :) I will post pictures when I finally figure out a hair style.

For the bridesmaids we are using one of Lydia's friends, Jessica. She is a sweet girl and inexpensive too! :)

So after weeks and weeks and 6 grueling hours yesterday looking for a couple pairs of shoes I finally found some online. I found ones for me :) and ones for the bridesmaids. The best part? All of them are under $15. That's right! I RULE! :)

That's one more thing I can check off my list! :)

What's next....finalizing hair and makeup plans... I have a couple people in mind, but I am trying to find the one that will do my hair for the least money, but still look good :)


My sister and I are going to the Portland Bridal Show this weekend at the Expo Center (I think). I know i have most of it done, but there are a few things I need ideas for...

Woo Hoo!

So, I finally figured out what song I am walking down the aisle to!!! :) I am going to let you all know that it shows how much of a dork I really am. Unfortunatly, I am not going to tell anyone. Only Matt, the bridesmaids, and I know! :) What I will tell you is that it is a song from Glee!!!!!!!!!! Haha... I know Dork... oh well I don't care I can do whatever I want...

I was wondering if any of you guys have ideas for music?! I don't really wanna go traditional with music from Barry White and stuff like that. I want modern day artists country or pop... doesn't really matter. I am kind of having a hard time finding some good ones.

So far I know that I am using some Plain White T's, Taylor Swift, Brad Paisly, Green Day, Glee...just to name a few.

Help :)

Thanks bunches

Ashley

ps. only 177 days away!


So there are many many many different hairstyles that I have been looking at and well I am a bit overloaded right now. As of right now I want a bohemian style with braids and curls but I saw this one picture that she obviously has some root-booster in! I think it looks amazing and I am now thinking the boho style with root booster. I think that would look good with a veil. 1/2 up 1/2 down with root booster and curls and a side braid? Yes? No?


So my webpage didn't crap out on me I am just special and didn't write the correct website in the address bar.

So if you want to check out our wedding page


Enjoy!

Hey All,
Just wanted to let you know that since my website got deleted that I am going to be doing a blog with wedding stuff.

I am going to post some stuff that is already finished with the wedding, yes I know most of it is already done, but now I am getting down to the small details and I think it will be fun to look back at all the little details of the wedding.

If you guys have any ideas let me know I am going to be posting on Facebook when I have a new blog. I will really try and keep it up!

Thanks
Matt and Ashley
