Christmas decorations

I put up the outdoor christmas decorations yesterday. This is the first year I have lived in a house, not an apartment, since living on my own. It was wonderful to be able to decorate. We now have twinkle stars in the front windows, as well as white lights lining the rails of the front porch. It looks beautiful!

Wedding reception

Picture small, round tables with sage green tablecloths. Ivory candles in wraught-iron candle holders. lanterns hanging from trees. White twinkle lights around tree trunks. This is one area of the reception site, which is my parent's backyard. This picture was taken Memorial day weekend in 2007. We are getting married Memorial day weekend 2008, so it should look the same, in regards to blooming trees and stuff.

This is the area we are going to do the pictures. It is so beautiful. Very green and lush. It will be so pretty! I am excited! I hope it does not rain...

6 month countdown...

6 months left. Where does the time go? Wasn't it just Halloween, and now it is Thanksgiving?!?! Christmas stuff is already out in the stores. Time is flying. 6 months until "I do". We started out with 1 1/2 years to plan a small wedding with 50 guests (or less) and we are down to 6 months. We have not even registered for gifts yet. All the magazines say you are suppose to do it 6 1/2 months or earlier before the big day. I walked into Bed,Bath and Beyond just to see what they have. I was so overwhelmed I had to walk out of the store. I did not even know where to start. I thought that store had useful everyday things. Simple things. They now sell china. China, I say! Do people still use china? I would not know what to do with china. I need to go back when Will is free so it is not so intimidating.

Wedding plans

Our wedding is set for May 24,2008. 6 months to go! Our plans are almost all set. We have our photographer, caterer, reception site (Becca's parents house), church, favors, invitations, etc. We are missing a florist, but we still have time. I (Becca) got my wedding ring today. Well, I don't actually have it, it had to be ordered. It is on it's way, though. I have my dress. I always tease Will about wearing it around the house. He does not want to see what it looks like. I don't think it will bring bad luck if he sees it, but he does. All I have to say is it is BEAUTIFUL!!! I am excited to wear it. I picture myself like the "friends" episode where Monica and Pheobe are washing dishes and cleaning the house in their wedding dresses. It is too pretty to wear only once. I should wear it all the time!(he he he). Our honeymoon is to Italy. Rome, Venice, and Florence. I have never been to Italy, but Will has, so he is my tour guide. It should be great!

The story of us...

Will lived in MA, I (Becca) lived in CT. We ran into eachother on Match.com two years ago. We had so many things in common we decided to meet, and the rest is history! December 1, 2006 Will proposed under the christmas tree and since then I have moved to MA, we got a puppy, and are now planning the wedding of our dreams. Life could not be any better! Will is a mental health counselor for children, as well as a nursing student, and I am a surgical technologist. Most of our favorite activities are summer activities...road races, triathlons, bike riding, camping, kyaking, white water rafting, I am sure I could go on and on. We love to be active and enjoy each others company while doing so.
