Wedding Stuff...


Dayton Learning Center...the chosen reception spot!


My beautiful ring...Dietrich's will be the same design in silver.


Valley Friends Meeting House...for the ceremony...a lot of decorating will be at hand.


The colors for the bridesmaids' dresses...the red and green are a bit darker than they appear in the pic.


The same fabrics...but scanned. The dark olive is for Dietrich's pants, the Dark brown for the front of the vest, and the light olive the back of the vest.

Tangible progress is taking place on the wedding planning front. On the way back from Pennsylvania last weekend we took our time, stopping at thrift stores, fabric outlets, and a park. It was good to relax together and discuss wedding planning and the future.

The trip was highly successful as far as being relaxing, fun, and productive. We found fabric for Dietrich's dress vest and pants, my dress, and our bridesmaids' dresses! We also got to watch an amazing lightning show, eat some good chinese, and take a nap at a great park in Berkeley Springs.

Thursday and Friday the sewing began. Dietrich's really gaining ground on his pants and I've been working on his vest. I haven't used a pattern for sewing since I was fifteen so that's been a little overwhelming for both of us, but we're pretty good at knowing when to take breaks to have fun.
