Update on Wedding Things!

So, since our last post, a lot has happened! Our countdown until we take the plunge is currently at 16 days...boy, time flies when you're having fun! But to be honest, Jonathan and I can't wait until this entire stress of planning a wedding is OVER! Trust me, it was fun and we don't regret having a wedding AT ALL...but, it will be good to know that it's over at the same time.

On Valentine's Day, Jonathan and I went down to the Sarasota County Courthouse and got our Marriage License --very exciting! Since we took a 6 hour premarital course back in June, the price for our marriage license dropped down from about $95 to $60, not that we saved money really since the class was about $50 for both of us to attend (for food and materials, etc.), but still, we enjoyed the class and think that everyone should take it before they get married...when you think about it, 6 hours is NOT a long time compared to a lifelong marriage (and besides, it was fun too!).

We also had our final meeting with Deacon Pat (our officiant) at St. Martha's after getting our marriage license. Our ceremony and everything is set to go, and we won't see him again until the rehearsal! Meredith also has her LAST dress fitting next week! (She's dying to post pictures of her in the dress on here...in fact, she's DYING to show Jonathan too! It's very hard to keep secrets from your best friend...Especially when it's about something as important as your wedding dress!)...Ahh!...only 16 more days until he sees her in it at least! We can't wait until we see each other for the first time at the altar...this is the only part of our wedding day we are REALLY impatient about!

Bachelor and Bachelorette Party plans are currently underway as we speak! The boys are going to Disney Quest in Downtown Disney on Monday, March 5. The girls are having their party on Thursday, March 8. They're going to McCurdy's Comedy Club (to start the night off) and afterward, are heading over to the The Daiquiri Deck on Siesta Key for the remainder of the night. Fun times!

Today we also reserved our cabin in the Smoky Mountains for our "Pre-Honeymoon." Since our actual Honeymoon isn't until May, we decided to go on a road trip to Tennessee for 4 days! Yay! We LOVE mountains! It will be absolutely beautiful!
