Wedding Update


I have made progress with the wedding! We've picked a date, location, and I've found a dress. The dress is thanks to my mom and sister, Erin. After many scary encounters with bridal shops in Reno (including a Korean cat take-over, David's Bridal pee escapade, and a western fringe bridal shop) we decided to take a quick trip to Sacramento. And it was well worth it for a bride on a budget with style in mind! We had a great time and I'm so happy they were there to help me. I'm not going to share too many of the dress details online however as I'm doing my best to keep the secret from my fiance; despite, his interest or lack there of. And what wonderful friends I have in Idaho to back me up on my decision after freaking out that maybe I had selected something that was not what I wanted. They helped me realize I had made a great choice!


The wedding ceremony/reception is going to take place at one of my favorite little spots in the valley, Galena Lodge . It's humble but perfect! Known for it's Nordic skiing trails in the winter, and it's great hiking in the summer, the lodge is nestled 20 minutes north of Sun Valley/Ketchum. It's a journey for a lot of our family and friends to get there but I promise it will be worth it! Great food by local chefs and lodge proprietors, we are looking forward to seeing everyone!

Listen to the advice of your friends and family--they will save you time and money and not to mention keep you sane during this stressful but fun planning time.

It was a fun weekend! So glad we could help and be there with you. I don't know how you do all the things you do and keep it all straight: wedding, school, work, and family! Good job, sweetie!xoxoxo
