Pre-Marital Counseling

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE...whatever you do…do NOT skip this part of your planning process. It has totally changed the way we communicate. We had the best sessions ever! We joined the group at our church. It started with just getting a root foundation in our relationship with Christ first…and then focused on our relationship with each other! The sessions were in a group form. The five couples have joined a small group and we now meet monthly for fellowship. So what Ed and I have only been to two meetings. WE LOVE IT.

Admittedly, I didn’t really think we needed it or that we would learn anything new. WELL WAS I WRONG!!! Not only did it help to grow our relationship but it also helped us develop relationships with a great group of couples that are doing this thing the right way as well. We learned that we are not the only ones going through typcial relationship woes.

So again…take the time out to go to some sort of counseling. Allow someone into your space so that you can air out all issues. It’s SOOOOOOO worth it.

Here’s our certificate. We’s OFFICIAL! J

Did you go to counseling?

Metal Mania!!!

If you have been shopping for men's wedding bands lately, you know that the blinged out platinum craze of the last decade has been upstaged by the rough & rugged "fit your lifestlye comfort fit bands" made in a medley of metals aka Metal Mania!!!! In searching for CTE's band, I have encountered all manner of metals: tungsten, titanium, cobalt, silver, stainless steel and the old standby white & yellow gold. And the prices are as varied as the metals! Bands range from $50 in the store. Internet searches and local flea markets are hawking some popular stainless steel styles for less than $10!



By all accounts, CTE is not one for foolishness, so I was not at all surprised that he gravitated towards the plainest, simplest, no frillest bands he saw. No matter the jeweler, no matter the case, the most he'd go for was a beveled edge stainless steel ala:

Not to exciting, huh? Yeah, it didn't blow my skirt up either. It's just a slip of metal! Shoot, I could almost get away with a hex nut from Home Depot! Though it was what he wanted, it was awful plain jain. I could just imagine the side glances that I'd get during the reception - LOL!

Well a trip to Shane Company here in Atlanta has brightened the day. We stopped by to get his measurements; neither one of us could remember what size he actually wore. While there, something caught CTE's eye:

Well, that's not exactly it but it's close enough. That one is from Scott Kaye's Cobalt collection. CTE's has a silver inlay (not sure which metal SK has used). My attempts to take a picture of the actual ring (yep I have it already!!!) were juvenile at best. So, I had to rely on SK to get my point across.

Hope you like it as much as we do! The inlay provided just enough "umph" to please both of us!

Double digits???

                                                    

Goodness you really start to feel the pressure when your countdown has double digits!! Finally did a centerpiece mock up! So I'm feeling better about that! I know exactly what I need.

I made table numbers and put them inside the frame and on the other side is a picture of us. I submerged a callalily in the cylinder and added rocks at the bottom! I'm debating the green water. I may just do green rocks/jewels...you get the point! Right? LOL!!

We will also be adding votive candles and rose petals. I plan to do a table mock up this week as well!

Whew...75 days to go!!

What Does Your Wedding Color Say About You?

My wedding colors are Champagne and Celadon/Sage...yeah GREEN! LOL!

Green: Green shades symbolize life, freshness, nature and fertility. A common choice for eco-friendly brides, green shows that you value your health and the environment. A harmonized and balanced color, green is a mixture of warm yellow and cool blue, just like its admirers. A calming and tranquil hue, brides who select green are affectionate, frank and responsible. You seek stability and balance, yet remain fiercely principled and refined.

As I first started reading this I was like NAW...they ain't me! WELL WELL WELL!!

brides who select green are affectionate, frank and responsible. You seek stability and balance, yet remain fiercely principled and refined.

So what are your colors and does what it say true about you?
