another wedding update

   Much was accomplished yesterday! About two weeks ago, Garrett and I registered at Macy’s for the wedding and we meandered over to the men’s suit section because he’s had his eyes on one for quite a while. Much to our surprise, the suit was on a ridiculous sale: pants & jacket for only $200! He decided then and there that he was going to buy each of his groomsmen a suit, both as a gift and to wear in the wedding. We didn’t much like the idea of tuxes for everyone just because it’d look a little out-of-context considering we’ll be married outside in front of a barn!

   He applied for a Macy’s card to get the additional discount but was denied because the car dealership screwed up his credit this summer. Did you know that every three times a business does a credit inquiry, it drops your rating by like fifteen points?! Yeah. Now you know. So we had to come up with a different plan to buy the suits which took us a couple weeks. But we finally made the big purchase yesterday! And got an additional 25% off everything because it was some sort of special Friday deal! We watched the total start at $1,150 and end at $750! So awesome. That’s including five dress shirts and Garrett’s matching vest, too!

   Then we went to the bridal shop I work at and ordered some pretty sweet ties. The four groomsmen will be in a patterned “Tiffany blue” tie and Garrett’s is the same color but solid. It’s going to look so nice! Seeing them is exciting because I feel like things are starting to come together.

   We still have a lot to work on, such as: figure out the invitation situation, complete the guest list once and for all, find someone to make the cake, clarify who’s going to cater, what the parents are going to wear, flower stuff, decorations stuff, etc etc etc! So much. To do. And days are still just ticking by! 

This is what Garrett will be wearing! But the tie will be a darker blue. Mmm baby.
