Tuxedos & Surgery

Riley, Lori, and I went to check out Tuxedo Warehouse to see if we could find a tuxedo for Riley. The wedding is still a couple of months away but bridals are in a few weeks so we need to get Riley set up and good to go. The place was packed! It's Prom weekend so all of the boys and their moms were there trying to find a nice tux. Riley found some nice things but the vests and ties they had were NOT the right colors for the wedding.

I really want Riley to look fabulous. I want him to wear something that makes him look sharp. The place we checked out was good but there weren't that many options. I don't know...I want to make sure Riley is getting something that he wants and not just something that he's stuck with.


Speaking of Riley, he will be getting surgery next Wednesday. I know it's not that big of a surgery but I'm still nervous about it. The best way I can explain it is that between the esophagus and the stomach there is some tissue that blocks the acid from coming up the esophagus. Riley's problem is that there is a hole in that tissue.

They are going to wrap another piece of tissue around the place where the hole is. He has to stay in the hospital overnight and the next month will be hard. For the first week after the surgery he can only have liquids, a week after that he can move to applesauce, a week after that mashed potatoes...he can't eat solid food for a month. He can't lift anything over head either. So we're planning on him not having a job until after we're married, which will be frustrating but it will be possible.



Yesterday Marissa and I went and chose the pattern for the bridesmaid's dresses. Marissa is the awesome girl who is sewing them for me. Tomorrow we're choosing the fabric but I love the pattern. The only difference is that we're making it my wedding colors, getting rid of the ribbon, lengthening the skirt and gathering it a little bit. My bridesmaids are going to be beautiful!



Have an exceptional day!

Shoes Cost How Much?

First of all...WINTER SEMESTER IS OVER!!! There is no more stress and...oh wait...we're still doing wedding prep. At least this is fun stress. Only 65 more days to go!

Which brings me to my choice of blog title, I'm looking for my wedding shoes. I was looking on Amazon.com and I found THE perfect baby blue heels. Tell me if you agree.





Awesome, right? Here is the catch...$240. Seriously. $240. That was the cheapest price I could find for these shoes. My wedding is an important day but I'm not going to pay half of my leg for shoes. I found some other cute ones but if you find anything cheaper let me know!

Other than shoes I'm looking for earrings, somewhere to get fake nails, someone to do my hair, and someone to do my make up. I need to find these by May 24, that's when we take bridals! So excited. The wedding is coming up a lot faster than I thought.

Announcement Help!!!!

Wow, has it really been a month since I've posted? Sorry guys. Now that school is pretty much over you'll be hearing a lot more from me. :)

Now for the important/exciting stuff! Riley and I recieved 7 photos for our announcements. We're thinking of a trifold so that means we can only choose 5. Can you do me a huge favor? Pick your favorite(s) and then leave a comment to let me know which ones they are. I'll put a letter by them so you can just leave the letter which is assigned to your favorite photo.

Thanks!

There we go! Thank you so much for your help!

Other than that I'm done with finals today (yay!) and Diamond is coming up on Friday. She's staying with us until she reports to the MTC on Wednesday for the Washington DC mission.

I also have my first bridal shower on Saturday. It's the family one, I'm very excited for that.

That's about it! Have an awesome day.
