So Much Wedding Planning!!

Wow!!! Only 5 more months till I get to introduce myself as the new Mrs. Fudge!!! Holy Cow!!! We have been doing so much stuff for the wedding. So here is a little update on what we've done and what we've learned:

1. Putting engagement announcements in the paper is very frustrating and expensive! I had no idea!! The only paper that was easy was the one in Bamberg (free and no hassle). Jeremy's dad called me today and told me that our announcement was in the paper today! I'm so excited to see it!! Mrs. Fudge said she is going to mail one to me as soon as possible. I'll try to take a picture or try to find a link to post on here. But the other papers are so expensive and I have not heard from anyone else. I'm just waiting for quotes for prices!! ugg... see? frustrating.

2. I have my first dress fitting on Saturday!!! I'm super duper extremely excited about it!! I did not make my goal weight, but I'm very proud of myself for losing 15lbs. :) I'm really not that worried about the weight thing, I figure I'm going to be in a full skirt plus I got this corset like thing to wear too. So now I'm just going to focus on continuing to eat right and work more heavily on my arms and upper back (since people will see that). Oh, and there is a BIG difference between using 5lb weights and 8lb weights. lol.

3. Mom and I are going to meet with Jeremy's cake's baker on the 16th! I'm so excited to see the sketches for this cake. It's going to be AWESOME!!! Arrrrrggghhh. Pirates Ahoy!

4. I got all the guest lists from everybody! And wow, there are alot more people than I thought. We were talking about having about 150 people, but by the end of counting all the people, we are going to invite about 215 people. But this is also good news! Now we know how many invitations to order and we can give the caterer a better idea of how many people we will have.

5. Invitations: I Love the invitations we picked out! I think they are going to be beautiful! They have everything I wanted: a bow, a monogram, and PURPLE ink!! Jeremy even picked out the monogram! :) I can't wait to see them!

6. The Food: Okay, I love my dad very much, but he is super going overboard with this department! I don't even know what the budget is anymore! We were going to save some money by having a bar with beer, wine and two signiture drinks. Well, Dad decided he didn't like that and now we are going to have a full bar. LOL! We've started looking at the menus and I still have to email Mr. Dupre to set up a meeting but I think this will definitely be Daddy and Jeremy's favorite part of wedding planning.

7. Flower Girl and Ring Bearer: I picked out the dresses that they are going to wear! They are sooo cute!!! (see picture) They are going to be a light pink with purple flowers! I think they are going to be adorable!!!!!! :)

Well, that's really all I can think of at the moment. Jeremy and I are watching TRON! (the new one) and I'm getting a little distracted. Until next time!! Same Bat Show, Same Bat Channel! :)

Hard Core Kitty

So there I was sleeping in my warm bed on this rainy and cold Thursday, when all of a sudden I hear an epic cat fight outside my window. I yell for Jeremy and he goes running for the door. Little Kitten was fighting with that stupid gray cat from across the street. He yells for me to come and look at her, I don't see anything major thank goodness, and to look at all the hair on the front walk. There is literally all this wet cat hair everywhere. And she even lost her cute little pink collar!!

But on a good note, Jeremy did say that she was winning! She apparently had the other cat pinned down before Jeremy ran outside. When he came in, he said, and I quote, "Today she was giving out lollipops and ass whoopings. She was out of lollipops."

Don't mess with Little Kitten, she's Hard Core.

What I LOVE Right Now

I LOVE:

• The TV Show "Chopped" on Food Network


• David Tutera's show "My Fair Wedding"


• Having short hair! I was trying to grow it out for the wedding but I just love my short inverted bob haircut! It's just me! So my veil and headband will just have to work with my hair the way it is. :)


• Planning my wedding. I am starting to feel some stress, but mom says I should try not to stress out until July. lol.


• The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I read the entire trilogy while i was sick in bed with the stomach flu. It was just gripping. The way the books are written just makes you feel like you are right there with the characters. They really reminded me of Orxy and Crake by Margaret Atwood and Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. They are also making a movie out of the books! :)


• Split : This is an Israeli Vampire TV Series. It's a lot like Vampire Diaries in a way. You can find it subtitled on You Tube. Just look for Splittvseries. Also check out this blog!


• Mixing Mocha mix, instant coffee, instant expresso, and hazelnut or vanilla splenda. Oh My Goodness! Heaven in a cup!

Well that's all I can think of tonight. What are some things that you love?

HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY!
