Speaking of,

Tucker wanted to do some bridal shots, and guess what I was a recent bride so here are some of my FAVS. (minus the black hair thing in one pic, but I think most of them you can make larger) J

And this one's for Chelle, special request.

haha

I would post more but school is ruining our lives (in a good way of course)

:)

30 Days

It's the beginning of the countdown, haha

30 days left today!

My mom's been helping me a lot and putting together all the invites and everything,

We got the napkins today so we can roll them with the plasticware,

and just putting together the little things is all thats left.

Gotta get through the last of my finals (8 all together, ugh exhausting)

and Nathan's finals next week.

We are SO excited for Break,

time to sleep, work, and not do school :)

Engagement Pictures.

These were way too hard to find on my computer so I had to wait to do this on Nathan's.

We made a collage of these at snapfish and they were a whole lot cheaper than printing off single pictures at the store!

(The only part that sucks is you can't pick which picture goes where).

The Colors

I had two requirements to work with from Nathan;

No Yellow and No Purple.

awww man, but those are the BEST!

juuuuust kidding :)

I searched the world of colors and came up with this.

So they are, as announced,

Teal, (less green and not so blue), but mermaidy teal.

Orange, a hint of autumn brown but still creamy (though less than a creamsicle).

Then looking all over the internets, teal and orange is basically like the new black of weddings.

There isn't much, but people have come up with some really awesome things.

Here are some swatches:

that are really HUGE, oops.

P.S. You are not required to wear these colors.

In fact, it might be weird if you did show up in these colors.

So wear whatever you want!

If you would like, you can come in spandex that is pink, but that is my

only recommendation to you.

The Date

Probably would have been nice to post this one first...

but since I went and booked the place, it's actually official.

January 2nd, 2010
01/02/2010

Look for your invitations in the mail!
(hopefully by mid October)

We originally went for October.

Then November.

And settled with all parties on January.

Still not thrilled about it, I've been having 'nightmares' about it because it will be inside.
(not a fan of inside weddings)

Here's to the next four months of:

Full time students

Part time workers

Full time wedding planners

Part time house project-iers

and trying to get last minute health insurance appt's outta the way.

while trying to stay sane.

The Rings

Since we picked up Nathan's today I can actually post pics about these two little wonders.

haha

We bought mine in June, after searching high and low for affordable bling that I liked and would want to wear forever. Although I think it would have been smart to exchange it with a

smaller size since we had 30 days to do so, and we knew it didn't fit.... Oh well.

So when Nathan actually proposed, we were going to go in the next day to get resized.

Turns out they can't.

If they did, the heat from the process or something would reshape the way the diamonds fit so they would all be bejangled.

After asking 3 shops at the mall about it, the last one told us about a plastic thing you can put since they don't use metal fillers anymore.

We went in to Claires, I asked the girl, and she said, 'OH! Ring snuggies, Yeah!!'

Uh sure if thats what you wanna call it.

So I have this:

I can't really feel it so it's not funky at all and it actually keeps the ring even on both sides so it doesn't keep sliding around backwards.

Nathan's ring:

He wanted a black ring, and we looked at a couple places who had ceramic black, but that's just dumb because I'm pretty sure Nathan would break it with all the things he does everyday.

And since he's allergic to metals, it had to be ceramic, titanium, or tungsten.

Tungsten is really kinda heavy but supposedly indestructible.

It's just like his old ring, with slanted sides and flat black.

Pretty awesome and unique. I love it.

So here's to the old and the new :)

(which would be our old and new and improved rings) ha

The Proposal

I found a ring I liked online so Nathan bought it.

That was about 4 months ago, and I didn't think we would need it till about next summer/fall
Which was okay with me, but a very long time away.
Randomly Nathan said, 'Let's get married.'
Uh...Okay? Not that I haven't been waiting or anything.

So this went down on Sunday/Monday
He came into his room and he said, 'Heres my card, buy these tickets for the OSU game this weekend, I wanna go.'
WOOHOO. My hints for the last week paid off that I wanted to go!

Went down Friday night so we wouldn't have to leave at 6 am Saturday morning.
Stayed with Aaron and GAME TIME!

I knew he was going to that day and I told him I didn't know if I wanted there to be a lot of people around, he said okay and the next day, he got down and asked me before we entered the stadium.

He tried to be on the jumbo-tron, or get the beaver costume, and the cheerleaders.

But I'm glad he went for simple.

Here we are at Aaron's old house. After the rainy game :)

Mr. and Mrs. Rodgers

Here is the Bride and Groom (Natalie and Chris). She went to high school with Nathan and he was friends Billy's brother and I think Kevin...Anyway their vows and stuff were at Laurel Community Church and the reception was at Meriweather Golf Course. It was pretty nice there too. If it was hot outside we could have gone outside too but it was a little chilly. 

Thier Cake

And again proof we were there. haha this one of us dancing is bad. We were just movin' so fast that my dress ballooned up. um and it makes me look box-y and large.  BUT we were the only ones of our friends that got up and danced so we win!

Brother's Wedding

My Half-Brother got married in Albany, August 9th, so here are about a million and one pictures :)

Here is my Dad, my half-brother and sister (Shelley and Michael--in the middle) and their Mom--Sue

My dad, Emily's (the bride) dad, and Lee (Sue's husband)

The Whole Wedding Party. Shelley was the MOH, Emily, Michael, and his Best friend Rawley

The "Waverly" Men

From L-R: Matt (my cousin), Uncle Mike, Michael, Dad, and Brett

They Call Us...Party Animals

Basically the first on the dance floor and the last to leave. Hide your children when the Waverly's come to town. My other cousins, Robyn and Kristin weren't there, they live the furthest away, so it would have been hard for both of them to get here. 

Michael and Emily had a money dance, where you have to pay to dance with them, so me and the sisters all slapped some ones in Michael's pockets and danced like it's probably illegal to do so. Fun Times. 

Last few, This is us at the Reception Dinner where my dad made the best speech I personally have ever heard. Threw in a bit about being glad that were not in China because of the smog they have... Blame it on the Boo's

My dad told Mckenzie, Matt's oldest daughter, to jump in the hotel with her dress on, so she did and my dad gave her money. OH how I love family gatherings. My dad likes to hand out the dough when he's put a few down. Glad I got some of the handouts. Feed me lunches for two weeks.

TA DAH!

So since I found my camera cord and all, I decided instead of sleeping so that I can wake up at the butt crack of dawn, I will put pictures on here. That and my brother keeps texting me and I can't NOT let a text go unread. SO here we go: the first of are when me and nate made dinner for ourselves, I know how giving of us.

It looks like Nathan is really enjoying it, so much that it's making him have food coma and falling asleep! Either that or he is just really taking in every sense of the delicious food we made, taste and smell, its noise and feelings.

These next ones are of Chris' wedding.

Me and CC decided to take crazy pictures on the way home. (prebooger infestation on her part)

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Be Responsible!

Love, Patches the Cat
