Congrats Dawn!!!!

Wow....lots of weddings for 2008 around here.

Not too much new going on with my wedding planning. We were able to go to the store and pick up our rings, so that is good.

I'm more concerned about finding a place for us and our pets to live once we are married then I am the wedding.... Sheesh....!!!!!!!!

thanks fluff!

Ok....let's talk about the wedding ceremony. I would like a very simple ceremony. I think we are going to do the sand thingy insead of the unity candle.

Did you do or are you doing anything original during the ceremony?

Yup...and I like that with the sand, you can have 3 colors, one of which represents God's foundation for our lives and marriage. That part is missing from the unity candles.

Ours is an outdoor wedding as well so we may also do the sand.

For the ceremony we definitely want the shofar blown. We haven't decided what other Messianic elements we want to add yet. We also plan to play a song right before the vows. It will most likely be the Hawaiian Wedding Song.

Nice list Sharon! Way ta go!

I came up with a new favor idea and I don't know why I didn't come up with this idea before. We thought it would be cool to have elements of where we are both from. So the favors may contain something that represents Hawaii and something that represents Cleveland. So far for Cleveland, we may order popcorn balls from there. John said they are a childhood favorite. As for a Hawaii element, there's lot's of things we can have but funny enough it's harder to decide when you have so many things to choose from.

Fluff....no worries! We can keep you on the list as a TBD.....

Trish....Cool ideas for the favors. My mom and godmother are going to do my favors. They normally are a small thing of mints that is themed with something regarding the couple. I think they may do something computer related since we met online.

Sigh. Our date hasn't been officially decided on yet either. The church has changed their availability twice since they confirmed with us that they were OPEN all of July. As it turns out, practically none of my cousins can make a July wedding anyway, so it looks like the date will either be June 21st or August 23rd of this year. We'll base that on another important decision we are making - moving out of the country!! An opportunity to teach English in Japan (my old school) has recently come up and we are praying about taking the jobs because it's something we had planned to do next year anyway... just a bit sooner!! If that's the case, June 21st will our wedding day!

I was a bride a while back and am coming out of lurking to say that we just moved from Japan! Did you go to school on Okinawa? If you're moving there, I know of a couple of really great churches with lots of young couples. How exciting that you might be beginning your marriage in such an amazing setting!

By the way, I LOVE reading about all of your wedding details! We did the unity candle thing and in my exuberance to "redo" it for the pictures, I caught part of my dress on fire. Wish I had known about the sand option -- it sounds lovely!

Best of luck to y'all!

I meant to comment on the sand/unity candle idea yesterday and ran out of time before work. I was in favor of using sand, as it could more easily displayed, however, I came upon a neat idea of re-using the candle at the reception - at the end of which, we will leave the option of having guests light a candle of their own from our candle to represent how each of us are a part of each other in some way, or have contributed to our lives in being a part of our day, then we will say a prayer and the pastor give the send-off blessing.

And the school is in Hagi, Yamaguchi prefecture. I taught there three years ago. We should hear from the lead teacher later today about the meeting she had with the owner yesterday. Okinawa would be great! I hear it's very beautiful there.

Ooh, I really like that candle idea. Very creative.

Right now my issue is that today is our RSVP deadline - and I've only received 32 responses out of 55!

But we still have a week before we give the caterer the final count, so hopefully some more will trickle in this week before I have to start making calls.

Eeek, so much left to do!

Thanks Jen! Sorry that I procrastinated on the copy and pasting.

But yeah, the list is a good one we can use again.

So let's see. We finally completed one of our registries online and are going to do a second one soon. Williams Sonoma and Macys. Oh and we decided what song to play when I walk down the aisle. Anyone see Madea's Family Reunion? The song in the wedding scene was called You for Me and I love that song. We are going to play that. Then we are going to play the Hawaiian Wedding Song right before we say the vows. As we proceed at the end of the ceremony, I'm going to have the Rabbi play a Messianic praise and worship song.
