My Wedding Band is Perfect!

Clyde surprised me and ordered my wedding band a few weeks ago. I walked in the house the other day and he presented this box to me with a HUGE smile on his face. I was clueless and had no idea what it was. I mean really, for all I know, it could have been diamond earrings to match my engagement ring ;-) Instead it was something far better. He opened the box and there was my wedding band. The band that I will forever wear. It sparkled and was PERFECT. I had selected three that I really liked and he picked my first selection. She is a perfect compliment to my perfet engagement ring. I love him so very much. He is so thoughtful and makes me happy beyond measure. God is so very good!

Save The Dates (STDs) have been mailed!

Wow, I am so glad to have all of our STDs mailed. We have already begun to receive phone calls and emails about them. We wanted to do something VERY different and unlike anything we have ever seen done before. Having said that, we decided on creating a "STD packet." The STD packet consisted of our STD magnets, hotel information cards and our Registry information cards. Below is a replica of the STD magnet that we included. We love them and from all of the accolades from our friends and family they love them as well! Peace, The Future Mrs.

A picture with the pup!

I have seen several people with their dogs in the wedding, but our beloved Simba will not be participating in ours. However, when I saw this pic, it made me realize that I need to have at least one pic with him. How adorable is the pic below?! The dog pictured looks almost identical to our Simba. Loves it!!Peace, The Future Mrs.

The Wedding Website...

The wedding website is up!

One of my Groomsmen is the owner/operator of his own website design company (mkgraphix.com). As a gift to us, he has put together our wedding website. Angela & I have been getting all kinds of emails about what a fantastic job he has done.

In today’s world, I think that a wedding website have become almost as much a necessity as the Save The Dates. This allows for those that are interested in what is going on with the wedding, the times, places, and registry information to have it easily assessable. We even had an opportunity to place in some info about ourselves and etc. Feel free to check out the site: www.corbinwedding09.com

Love & Peace,

The Wedding Ring

I purchased Angela's wedding ring day before yesterday. I must admit, it was a whole lot less stressful than buying the e-ring (the fact that I used the term "e-ring" means that I know more about wedding planning than any man should have to know). It helps that the wedding rings are a joint decision venture between the two of you, so you KNOW she is going to like it.
The fun part to me was choosing the ring. Angela had about three or so rings that she likes, she will find out in a few days how it looks on her finger.

FYI: This is NOT the ring...I WISH! LOL

Bridal party (BP) dresses have been selected.

Once I found my dream gown I knew that I couldn't wait much longer to decide on the BP dresses. Clyde picked out the guys tux's months ago. Should I be ashamed of myself and feel bad that it took me so long? Naaah. I don't think so. Some people were telling me that I needed to place the order for the girls dresses months ago. But I didn't want to pick out their dresses before I selected my gown. What if they did not compliment one another? That would not be a good look.

I was looking for a particular color, and a particular style, and I wasn't going to just pick "a" dress just for the sake of keeping on track with my monthly wedding checklist or what others felt that I should be doing at this time in my wedding planning. Additionally, I had to find a dress that fit various body types. I was going to offer two choices, but decided against it. I knew that time was passing by and there was nothing to be done about it but get it done. No need in fretting over it. I truly love the dresses that the girls will be wearing. One of my Matron of Honors (Trice) and my BM and sister (Darlena) went with me and I am so happy that they did. We had fun! Well...here are the dresses!

We had our food tasting with the caterer!

As I mentioned last month, our food tasting was coming up. When we decided to create our menu we put alot of thought into it. We wanted it to be fun, unique and of course, great tasting. We decided to incorporate my Kentucky side of southern cooking and his Charleston side of seafood and low country delicacies in order to have a fabulous fusion of both. We were both nervous & excited about our tasting. We had never eaten any of the head chefs food so we did not know how good or bad his skills were.

I will proudly admit that we are both foodies and somewhat snobs about it so we were really going to take this time to get a feel for our head chef and let him know what needed to be tweaked, completely changed or left as is. I must admit that we were pleasantly surprised with the taste and quality of food. They normally don't serve alcohol at tastings, but since Clyde invented a signature drink for our reception in honor of ME, they went ahead. It was wonderful! Even the chef was impressed. With the way that the tasting went, we are more than comfortable knowing that our guests are going to enjoy every part of the dining experience at the reception. We are so very excited!


Cheers!
