1 year to go!!!

It's so weird to look at the countdown above and see there is only one year to go!  These last 11 months since we got engaged have flown by, I can only imagine how the next year is going to go. 

Good thing I have been busy with in the last year to get a lot of things off the to do list:
Venue - √
Photographer - √
Band - √
Dress - √
Florist - √
Save the dates - √

The save the dates were ordered on Tuesday and we hope to have them in the next week or so.  I am so excited for them, they turned out great.  A HUGE thank you goes to Michele, you know the bridesmaid who is a Yankees fan, (we won't even comment how the World Series ended - she and I will be friends again soon!)  When Marcin and I were up in New York for her birthday she took some awesome pictures of us in Central Park.  We are going to have engagement pictures taken with Sarah but we didnt want to do that until next spring at the beach.  So we started thinking about the save the dates and realized we didnt have any pictures we liked for them.  I knew Michele loves taking pictures, so it made perfect sense!  Here is a teaser of our photoshoot

A BIG thank you goes to my parents who have been a huge help through this entire process and will continue to be so throughout the next year!

Marcin, I can't wait to be your wife!  I hope the weather is as nice as it is today next year :-)

The Photographer is booked

Actually she has been booked for awhile now! As soon as Marcin and I got engaged there was no question who our photographer was going to be. Sarah Schulte photographed two friends weddings and I would occasionaly run into her at weddings where I was the Day of Coordinator. (insert shameless plug here to hire me as your day of coordinator!)

So just a couple weeks after I was engaged I emailed Sarah and told her to save the date for us! She emailed back and asked if I was open to bartering a little and having Marcin and I travel up to The Berkshires in Massachusetts to be her Day of Coordinator! Of course I said yes. Marcin and I love taking road trips together and neither one of us had ever been to the Berkshires. It was such a beautiful drive and yet one that included lots of little back roads. Good thing we had GPS, although one night it led us to a Mall Parking lot - Marcin blames me for that one since I was driving, I blame the GPS! We really had a great time with Sarah, John and their families and they have become good friends of ours throughout this.

This was one wedding that I worked that I didn't take pictures :-( I left my camera in the car and didn't have a chance to go get it. So here is a link to their photographer's blog post on their wedding. (Check out her orange shoes - love them!)

Sarah and John, thank you for having Marcin and I share your day and we look forward to having you spend ours with us!
