Cheyenne Wedding

Hiii.. so another PW member posted this dress.. I nearly died, it is gorgeous. I actually think I like it more than the dress I purchased... PLEASE someone tell me the price, and hopefully it's out of my range so I don't consider buying it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• strapless/sweetheart neckline
• slim a-line
• no sash/empire waist
• lace
• scalloped lace edging would be nice
• beading/crystals throughout, as well
• corset back
• ivory/diamond white preferred

I'm bored at work lol

Have you and your FI picked out baby names? 

---

FI and I were discussing Greek tradition, in that babies are named after the grandparents. We haven't decided if we're going to go with tradition for all the children, but my FI really wants our first son to be named after his father. That's fine with me!

Boys: Nicholas (FI's father), James, Evan, Lucas

Girls: Ariana, Ava, Eliana, Melina/Melania, Juliet, Isabel/Isabella, Gabriella

I am working on my DIY invites this week and I would love to see how everybody worded theirs? Add a picture if you have one =D

Wow..where to begin..

The first time I met my FI I was 18 and hanging out in a bar in Cheyenne WY pretending i was awesome and old enough to be in there. It did not really work because FI and his friends were making jokes that maybe I should be drinking out of a Sippy cup instead of a beer bottle. Oh well, I must have done something right because a few months later FI confessed that he was madly in love with me....a year later we bought a cat....a few months after that we moved across the country to Michigan together...a couple years after that we went on a hike in knee deep snow in -10 degree weather with our black lab and poof, Scott kneeled down and next thing I knew I had a ring on my left finger!

On a more serious note....

FI and I dated and always had a fun relationship. We had a lot in common except where we were from, which made things difficult. My family is from Arizona, his from Wisconsin. My parents moved to Wyoming in 2003 and FI was stationed there at FE Warren Air Force Base. When FI's four years active duty were over, he wanted to move back closer to his family, specifically in Northern Michigan, to go to school. I really thought this was the end of our relationship as my plans were to go back to Arizona to finish school. I was enrolled at Northern Arizona University and had an apartment set up with my best friend. I helped FI move his stuff to Michigan and was about to get on the plane to fly home. The second he left the airport I started crying uncontrollably. I was sick to my stomach and instantly felt empty. He called me seconds later saying he could not drive with all the tears in his eyes. This was the moment I knew I did not want to live with out him. This was the moment I felt he was my soul mate and best friend. I flew home, packed my things and moved to Michigan. My friend was upset with me for bailing out on her and it took a year for her to forgive me. She is now in my wedding : ) FI and I went to Northern Michigan University and we graduated on the same day in May 2009. We have grown so close, so in love and so happy. It was the best decision of my life to move with him and I would not change it for the world.

This is the dress my BMs and I picked out.  The bms will wear it in blue (horizon) and my moh will wear the pink!  They will pick their own silver shoes and will be carrying hot pink roses.

Below are pictures of some of my girls wearing the dress - they love it!  The dresses are not in the right colors but I was more concerned with fit.

MOH - Jess (lil' sis) - not quite the color     Bridesmaid - Anngela - will wear strap to feel more comforatble

Bridesmaid - Krissy (color is not this dark)     Krissy and I - I am wearing the Pink that Jess will be wearing

BM Shoe inspiration: **Photo - Cheyenne Schultz

They are dyeable shoes and can be found here.  The BMs will wear the fushia color and my MOH will wear blue

EDIT-- September 30, 2009 - all the girls will be wearing fuschia shoes which have been ordered! yay!  and all the girls will wear Horizon dresses (BAMusic123's girls wore horizon - I am glad the color doesn't blow out in pictures)  The shoes came in and they are gorgeous!!!  I am so happy with them!  Posted Vendor Review!

UPDATE: November 14, 2009 -- HATE the short dresses!  They looked terrible on the girls this weekend. I don't know what was so different but no one liked them any more =/ LAME. We talked and we all feel like the short dresses we liked were too similar to something a guest would wear.  They wanted to FEEL like bridesmaids...so we went with long dresses.  I am really happy we made that decision!! The girls look beautiful!

I am a speech pathologist that has recently moved from Tennessee back to the West.  I am working in Cheyenne Wyoming and living in Ft. Collins, Colorado.  I have the best job in the world.  I am a speech pathologist for children ages birth to three years old.  I work with children with disabilities, as well as with children who just haven't started talking yet.  I feel so fortunate to have a job that I love!  Besides my job, I like to ski, snowshoe (sunrise is the best!), hike, camp, attempt to play guitar and read a good book now and then.  I am so excited to be marrying my best friend and I can't wait to see what our future together holds!!

My fiancé and I both grew up in Cheyenne Wyoming and are finishing up college in nearby Laramie at the University of Wyoming. All of our friends are nearby and it is a good home base to wed because our families still live there. 

Although I am Lutheran and he is Catholic (arch enemies- I know) religion has never played a role in our relationship. The venue of choice happens to be a neutral, party-tastic ceremony and reception all rolled into one.

Cheyenne Kiwanis Community House, Lyons Park. 

Now, this place is a staple of events in Cheyenne- Got married? Party here. BBQ cook-off? Party here. High school dances? Most of them here. In fact- the last time I was in this place was a junior high dance. It may be a catch all, but its my catch all and the PRICE IS RIGHT.

It is situated within historic Lions Park with botanical gardens and a lake. Picture ops galore.
