Meet the Fockers....er The Greenes

So this past trip to Houston was so my parents and kellys parents could meet.YES i know after 3 1/2 years of being together our parents have never met. his do live an hour south of houston GOSH. SO anyway we met up at spaghetti warehouse at 1 o'clock downtown, ate food and sat around and listened to our parents talk for about 2 hours. it was odd. you would think they would talk about us, but they didnt! they talked about where they grew up and old vietnam tv shows. it didnt go as bad as i thought it would. so then we left and went to look at new furniture at ikea.

oh today i ordered swatches of the maid of honor dress for lyn. 30 bucks but it will help in picking colors. it looks alot like the ribbon we bought so im sure it will do fine. i think we are getting this dress in kiwi instead of the proposed celadon, now i look at the picture i think its too light of a dress.
also the swatches will help me pick the ties.

since doug the officiant is our friend that he should wear the same color tie as martin the best man?

officiant

so i was looking up things about officants and ordained ministries online and i thought wow. how much cheaper and not to mention special would it be to have a close friend of ours become ordained and do the ceremony for us!
so i got to thinking...and doug came into our heads so i call him up and he says he would be honored. so im thinking for us to just pay for his certificate and that is like 270 off the cost it would be to hire someone we dont even know..
and after our wedding he could even be hired for other peoples weddings also!
how cool..

so i feel this much more accomplished that we now have an officant! :)
i already have the basics of the ceremony all completed.


oh in other news , im trying to get my list to stay at and around 150. no more than 175, i know ive been saying 175 people but now im thinking thats toooo manyyy peopleee. so im cutting it to 150. give or take a few.

a dress i like

save the dates

save the date. which one do you like more? the one with the calendar, ( i got scared of it because it doesnt say marriage or tie the knot so i thought people might not know what it is for) or

or the second one which is totally simple and looking back at it now, too simple

So i made a few of these flower topped ball-point pens with some green/white lillies on them for the guestbook signing, ill probably just put them in a vase with some clear and white rocks at the bottom to look cute next to this guestbook

our Lenox toasting flutes, there totally cute and heart, from bed bath and beyond. i like them. maybe after the wedding we will get them etched or engraved.

the cake server and knife, from Hobby Lobby, the go with the whole heart thing with the flutes. simple & cheap!
