Donate to our wedding fund!

I made a button on the registry page where people can make a donation (bailout) to our wedding fund. Now we have already done the hard part and paid for hotel / airfare / car rental but you could help us out with some spending cash so we can do cool stuff like helicopter rides and stuff!

Groomsmen update

fredannie.jpgOur good friends Fred and Annie are having their wedding in May and we were planning on attending as they were planning on attending ours in September (also since Fred was in our wedding) but with the world in money flux right now and all of us working to make our dream weddings on a budget it was looking more and more difficult to make the whole plan work.

So we made an agreement. A kind of "Get out of jail free" card. They could skip our wedding so that they could concentrate on theirs and we can skip their wedding since flying both of us to LA would take money away from what we are doing.

Kind of sad as I know that it would be awesome to see each others weddings and celebrate the love that we have all found but the world just is not the place for spending a lot of money right now. We have instead decided to do a weekend somewhere together once all the craziness has passed.

Break a leg guys! And all our best wishes!

Love Alan and Amanda

Busy spending money

It's been a busy new year. My wedding ring is on order, and should be arriving in the next couple weeks. We ordered our flowers today. I found a woman in Tennessee that does silk arrangements. We got all our flowers for $265 with free shipping. My wedding dress came in and I get to try it on when we head back to Ohio beginning of March. I'm also going to pick out the bridesmaid dresses that day too. That same weekend we're doing the food tasting at the zoo. So hopefully we'll have our menu picked out. Busy, busy. On track to have it all planned by summer....
