Always rooting for the underdog...

I was amazed when I got home that we received a few more RSVP's...It put a spark to my rather redundant day. Stress level is still high because of all the things Chuck and I must do before we leave and not to mention all the other weddings we have to attend before we leave for Jamaica.

About a week ago, Chuck finally went to my hairdresser after the Koreans at his barbershop cut his hair WAAAY too short. Now MY hairdresser will be doing his hair the day before we leave for our wedding. I must say my hairdresser kicks ass. She's this Turkish woman who gives me 20% off of everything in the salon mainly because I am her favorite client...I could soooo write a whole chapter on how awesome she is....We are scheduled to see her the day before our flight to make sure we look decent for our memorable event. I have another person in Jamaica to do my up-do but my hairdresser is the only woman who can do my color right :-)

On another note, Chuck and I were watching the finale of Biggest Loser Couples and I have to admit, I am happy a woman won but I was rooting for Kelly...She was the underdog the whole show...every week everyone figured she was a goner but only tonight was she truly eliminated...Ali did a hell of a job nonetheless...

Chuck had an awesome idea of me going to the gym in the morning since I go to work a tad later on Wednesdays and Fridays....This is also part of my bridal regimen. Every bride wants to look awesome in their photos!!!

OK off to bed so I don't talk myself into sleeping in as I normally do....Maybe if you're lucky Chuck will post a thing or two!!!

First blog...

After a lot of nagging, I finally got Chuck to have a blog put on our website....I guess all I can say is that we have most of our wedding reception decor and I am quite impressed with how creative we got when it came to the smallest details. I don't want to give everything away but we coordinated with our invitations and also brought a bit of Jamaica back to our reception area.

So far we have 21 confirmations, which makes me nervous but I have to remember an old saying from an old colleague who said "80% of the world procrastinates". So if she was right then I am well on my way.

One thing Chuck and I are really liking is our wedding bands!!! I was impressed with how well it fit with my engagement ring and the fact I will not have to fuse the two rings together...With my band , when it is put together with my engagement ring, it kind of looks like a rose...Chuck likes the way his ring feels (yeah he admitted it!!!). It's got some weight to it...

A lot of what is going on for our ceremony in Jamaica is to be set when we arrive but our wedding licenses are all set and ready to go :-)

Not too bad for a first blog huh??? I swear I will put something more interesting once it comes to me.
