Isak and I got our wedding bands ordered on Saturday, March 25 ,2006.
I got a couple postcards from this place that was having 30% off sale
so we went up there just to see what they had. Isak picked out his band.
It isn't just white gold, it is a bit darker. It is kinda hard to explain so
everyone will need to wait and see.
He needs to get it sized down so we should get it in 2-4 weeks. I had
intended to get a plain band but none looked good next to the engagement
ring. I found one that has small round stones and sideways baugettes.
they alternate. I had to leave the engagement ring there, which I feel
really paranoid about. Since it is 30 minutes north of
where we live and no where close to where I work, I have to leave it
there all week and pick it up next weekend. That can actually work out
though because then we can go to the botanical gardens and check it out.
I sent them a couple emails since I never seem to have time to call them
so this way we can actually see the place. If it is too expensive, then
we can just do it at a beach or someplace similar.

I had contacted my friend Carrie's photographer. Everyone in the chicago
area seemed so expensive. I left her a voice mail and she called back after
a couple days. I am really excited that she is available. I haven't
confirmed everything yet but I will here in the next day or so. I was getting
nervous when she didn't call back right away.

All I need to do now is find a minister in the area. Maybe I can ask
our pastor back home if he knows anyone in the area.
I did talk to my dad and said that we can have a reception around
Thanksgiving so we can be there a few extra days and not rush home.
Wow, things are really coming together!!!
