There are so many things going on!
Life in Chicago is a blast! Chicago being the largest city in the Mid-West affords many benefits:
- Diversity
- Vibrant Fashion Scene
- Great (clean) City living
- Amazing professional environment
- Eclectic Food
Another exciting thing about Chicago: I celebrated my 24th Birthday! I want to thank all well wishers!
So now to the real meat of this blog: The Wedding!!!!!
The Wedding is October 18, 2008 in Aruba at the Manchebo Resort. The countdown is on!!!
I also found my wedding dress from Watters! I tried on 3 dresses in total at House of Brides and
when I tried on the wedding dress, I cried! I wanted to marry Jacob right then and there in the fitting room that had ceiling to floor mirrors with such great lighting ! I stared at myself for about twenty minutes twirling around and imagining the sound of the waves crashing on the beach with the sound of the violinist in the background- I am super excited!

Linda my life long sister from another mother helped pick out the color blue that I needed to complete the wedding colors. If you are a part of the wedding party you will be receiving your swatch, if not already.
Jacob and I are almost complete with our registries- well we have completed the online process and we are currently working on the in-store process. It is alot of fun roaming up and down aisles with a scanner choosing the items that will be from the people we love in our new life as a married couple! We are registered at Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, Macys, Crate and Barrel, and Sears; we also have a honeymoon registry- check out our wedding website (you should have the site from the save the date card).
As of now the guest count to Aruba is quickly growing ; Jacob and I are soo excited to share this monumental time in our lives with our closest friends and family! However for those who can't make the fabulous trip to Aruba the party will continue in Miami, Fl October 25,2008 Welcome the Newly Weds Back! Expect your invitations to arrive shortly!
