SB proposed last March (it was wonderful and perfect in every way!!)....and due to the fact that he works for in the NHL we had to schedule our wedding date around any possible game conflict....which basically narrows down the year to a short window: late June to early September. After consulting our venue....the date was settled -- July 11 (aka 7/11...easy for SB to remember, I hope!) It's going to be awesome and I can't wait for the big day to have all of our loved ones in one room together and to say I DO! to the best guy in the world.
In Atlanta I worked as an event planner....so once the ring was on my finger, my planning instincts kicked in and we booked as much as possible as soon as possible to get our first choices. While it feels like we've made a lot of decisions and plans already, it still feels like there's a ton to do!
One thing that we've crossed off our lists is selecting/ordering/delivering bridesmaids' dresses!! I will be having 6 bridesmaids....and they will all be wearing this lovely little number from J.Crew:

SB will also have 6 groomsmen....and they'll be wearing their own navy suits, white shirts, and this adorable tie from Vineyard Vines (SB and his friends are all big fishermen....they've traveled everywhere from Florida to Alaska to Belize and everywhere in between together to find the best places....so the pattern is very fitting!):

More to come...!
