Sorry guys, it's been like 2 weeks since my last post. Shannon had some major dental work done and I've been taking care of her, haven't gotten back into the swing of daily wedding plans. While I really love the dress I showed you in one of my last posts, I gotta say I have been falling in love with some of the weddings on Offbeat Bride that have brides in very non-traditional dresses and I am totally considering spending about a forth the price on a pin-up style sundress, like one of these at Pin-up Girl Clothing
After browsing through thousands upon thousand of wedding invites in catalogs and on Etsy I have come to the conclusion that I could make something I like much better for a lot less. It would be a lot easier if I still had photoshop on my computer, but alas all I have is paint (i know, i know, i DESPERATELY need to update my computer!) Anyway, this is just one idea so far.It's not quite this bright, my scanner sucks, it's a deeper red color, more like this font color, but you get the idea.
So after about the 6th e-mail with the people at 21c I have discovered that there is a $4050 food and beverage minimum so this location may be out. I am quite disappointed, but I'll have to deal. Another, closer, possible venue is the Unitarian Universalist Church of Bloomington. If you've been to Bloomington and driven by the stadium at IU, you've seen this church. It's right across the road from the stadium at the corner by the stop light. While this location doesn't have quite the feel we were going for it is closer and I'm sure much less expensive.

3 down, lots more to do...
