A Dress!

I now have something to wear to the wedding! My mom and Melissa and I spent 2 days of me trying on approximently 50 different wedding dresses. FINALLY at the last shop, we found one that I love! It has been purchased, and is just waiting for me to wear it on our big day.

Next, we'll be looking in to finding awesome groomsmen and bridesmaid get-ups....

New Home

Michael and I bought a new house a few weeks ago - although it has been very exciting, it definitely has been a lot of work! We love being out in our big backyard, and actually having enough storage to put things away!

So because of this, wedding planning has taken a back seat...

shopping

My mom is coming in a few weeks to go wedding dress shopping - SO EXCITED!

searching. . .

We're currently searching around for the "perfect" wedding spot. It's my goal to figure that out as well as the date by the end of this month (June). Wish us luck!!

Melissa threw us an awesome engagement party at the place where Michael and I had our first date (awww). We had a good time hanging out with friends. I wish our peeps from MI could've been there too! :)

WORST/funny wedding toasts

I just got an email from The Knot, and I thought these were pretty crazy! Hopefully Sam, Julia, and Melissa's speeches will be on the Best list!! :)

The wedding toast is a chance for the bride's and groom's closest family members and friends to express their joy for the couple, share a funny story or two, and impart words of wisdom. Sometimes, though, nerves, alcohol, or a not-so-secret disapproval of the matrimony leads to a speech that leaves everyone aghast. Here are real wedding toasts that made guests want to cower under their chairs rather than raise their glasses.

1. "At a friend's wedding a few years ago, the best man made it apparent that he wasn't such a fan of the bride. The speech went something like this: '(Groom's name), man I love ya, you know I do. I hope you thought about this and that this is what you really, really, really want.' Then he said the bride's name, hit his fist against his chest twice, and pointed at her."

2. "A friend of mine from college got married, and his best man said in his speech: 'Finally John has found someone with low enough self-esteem to marry him.'"

3. "The maid of honor (the bride's sister) not only talked about herself during the whole speech, she also mentioned the possibility of an affair between herself and her sister's new husband."

4. "At my cousin's wedding, the best man ended his toast by saying he wanted the groom to know that he'd be there for him at his next wedding when this one didn't work out."

5. "The best man at a wedding I was in said during his toast, 'Congratulations to the new parents!' No one except a select few knew the bride was pregnant -- not even her parents!"

6. "I was a bridesmaid in a wedding where the best man gave a toast about how cheap the groom was and how they'd been friends all their lives but the wedding was the first free meal he's ever been offered by the 'cheapskate.'"

7. "The father of the bride stood up and said, 'I'm Jill's dad. I just want to say that I met David before Jill did because of my other daughter.' And he sat down."

8. "My cousin gave a horrible toast at her younger sister's wedding a few years ago. She began by saying that she never liked her sister's new husband throughout high school and that 'today he's still at the level of slightly below the scum on the bottom of a dirty waste pond.'"

9. "I attended a wedding where the best man commented on how the bride used to work at Hooters (which her family didn't know about) and how he was jealous of the groom for 'bagging her.'"

10. "During the toast the groom's dad (after many drinks) said that he was so happy for his son and his beautiful wife Sara. But his wife's name wasn't Sara, his ex-girlfriend's was."
