Fun with Wedding Planning

I'm in the midst of a crazy semester, but on my weekends I manage to find time to enjoy wedding planning: both for myself and for my engaged friends.

The weekend after Valentine's Day, Becky and Krista drove down for a visit. The original purpose was for my mom to see how their bridesmaid dresses fit and take extra measurements, but it was wonderful to get to just have a visit with the two of them. They drove down together Saturday evening and arrived in time to enjoy pizza and a few hours of chatting, catching up, and discussing wedding related details. Sunday we went to church at PLC and got out just in time to head across the street for the North County Bridal Fair at the Doubletree.

The fair was a lot smaller than the one downtown. There weren't as many vendors to see, but it was still fun. We ended up getting a lot more free stuff at this one. One jeweler was giving out free pearl necklaces and a voucher for a free spa treatment. There was plenty of free cake and cookie samples, and I won a door prize. I got a really cute basket with a bunch of Parti Lite candles in it. Tad joined us for the last part of the fair, and then we came back to my parents' house for a few hours.

Tad and I had to leave early for Caravans, but we stopped by Just Chill yogurt shop on our way out.

Two weekends later I got to do some co-planning with Christine. She and her mom came out during her spring break to take care of a lot of their remaining wedding things. They stayed with my family for the week, and I came home for the weekend. We had chocolate chip cookies with icecream, showed off our rings, and chatted about wedding planning. Christine had brought some wedding magazines, which we looked through while watching My Fair Lady.

That Saturday was Christine's bridal shower, hosted by Elizabeth. My mom and I drove up together, stoping by the mall and old town Temecula to do some shopping. The shower was a lot of fun. It was great getting to see the girls again, and I just love bridal showers anyway :o)

Slowly but surely things are coming along, and I can't wait until I get some spare time to do more planning!
