Planning this wedding has overall been really easy! I feel so lucky to have the support of my parents and Matt's parents, because of them I really am getting my dream wedding! It is going to be very small by both Greek and LDS standards! My sisters, Sarah and Katie are my bridesmaids. Sarah is the official maid of honor. I am also having my cousin Jessica's darling daughter, Josie as my flower girl and my best friend from high school's charming daughter Charley as my other flower girl! Matt's brother Dave will be his best man and his cousin Tom will be his groomsmen. We have my brother John and our good friend Dylan as the official good-looking bachelors/ushers at the wedding.
We are having the wedding at The Heathman Hotel in downtown Portland. It is my favorite hotel in Portland! It's also haunted! My favorite thing about The Heathman is that is right next to the Portland sign!
We have had a really fun time finalizing the menu! The Heathman is so great at working with us. My only special request of The Heathman was that Ian and Isaac get to eat whatever they want. Ian and Isaac without hesitation decided on their meals at the wedding. Isaac requested Steak, mashed potatoes, and peas. Ian wanted Pasta Mizithra. I have been to a lot of weddings where I have looking longingly at the kid's meals (ohh those yummy chicken fingers and fries) and looked down at my plate wishing I had that. I feel pretty good that the grown-up food is going to be pretty good, so hopefully those looks won't be too sad, although I can ALWAYS eat a plate of Mizithra!!
I picked my photographer! It was my big indulgence! She is great! Her name is Jessica and I think that most people will think she is one of my good friends when they meet her. She is very talented and I love her work! We are getting our engagement photos done on June 1st.
The dress is being custom made by the same woman who made my sister's dress. The cake has been tested (yum) and we have ordered it with the famous champagne cake layer and a delicious banana layer. I have even decided not to do my own flowers.
All in all....it looks like it is going to be a really fun weekend!
