I cancelled the boutonnieres from the florist. Not to worry, I ordered these off of an amazing vendor on Etsy. This is what the boys will be wearing. Not only did it save us money, Derek's will serve as a beautiful little addition to a Wedding Shadow box I plan on making.

The centerpieces are coming along and look great! Doris sent some awesome books for us to use, and we painted the pages gold. They look great! They are simple, and perfect. Mom just finished spray painting them from black to white this weekend. We are adding another starfish to it so it's a balanced composition.
 |
| Simple. |
We have ordered some FLOATING LANTERNS!!! We are so excited about this and will light them (probably) after the first dance. It needs to be dark enough that they make for beautiful pictures, so the timing of all that will be interesting.
 |
| At the most we'll have 15, but it should still look amazing. :) |
The Photo Wall is coming along- thank you Mom and Rich! There are a few little things to figure out with it, but it's looking WONDERFUL! It's going to be so much fun! Mom has even picked up a few fun props to wear.

| In progress. The top frame may be cut off bc it's so tall... |
Our Ceremony is complete, thank you Deb for the outline, and we are really excited about it. It is very personalized to us. We've already given the final draft to Sid and Dave... no turning back. ;)
Dave Gonzalez at the Hemingway House is now our wedding coordinator and will take care of all those little day of details that were stressing me out. Like hanging these awesome bottles (that will have a LED "candle" in them) in a little tree-nook area in the garden. Hard to explain, but will look great. :)

| Not sure why the photos are not rotating... sorry. |
I have decided I will toss my bouquet, this is for picture sake, but I'm really excited about it. I will toss it off the second floor of Heminway's House down to the ladies below. And yes, I will be tossing my actual bouquet. I know that many brides are buying smaller ones from the florist and tossing them, but I don't plan on saving it, I'm not sure what I would do with it. So really, let's toss that sucker!!
We are still working on the song list, which we need to have into Stan the Man (DJ) in about a week, so if you have any suggestions that you want to be on the "Must Play" list, send them our way and we'll consider them. Don't worry Sean, Purple Rain is already on there for you. ;)
Our honeymoon is officially booked! We leave Key West on Sunday morning, fairly early. We will be going on a 7 day cruise to the Grand Cayman, Mohogany Bay (Isla Roatan), Belize, and Cozumel, Mexico! Super excited about this. :) It will be much needed, I'm sure.
Our guest book is in the process of being framed. Yup, it's not a book, we are doing a print of Key West, and people can sign the matting around the print! That way we can hang it and we see it daily as apposed to having it in on a book shelf that we just won't see all that often.The print is of a water color from a local Key West artist and has the Heminway House on it, along with the Lighthouse (where we are all staying- sort of), Blue Heaven (our favorite breakfast place), the Southern Most House, and the Truman House (I think). Anyway, it has it all on there!

| We went with a lighter purple around the picture... |
I think that's mostly it for now! This may be the last blog for a while as things approach. But after it's all said and done, the plan is to post pictures on here too. :)
We're excited and are counting down the days. In the upcoming week Derek and I are going to send out a tentative schedule for the wedding week, along with some delegations. :) I can't wait to have everyone together again in one place! Thanks to everyone who has been helping out, really, it takes a load off of Derek and I! Thank you!!
