Wedding Wednesday

June 26, 2013

To start today’s Wedding Wednesday, I wanted to share a statistic I heard yesterday!!
  The marriage rate is the lowest it has been in 100 years.

womp womp. 

by the way it’s official. I can’t have children. 
that debbie downer was the best one ever. I can’t control myself when they start to laugh.
 But this has nothing to do with weddings….  


The “big” things have been finalized for our wedding.

Setting a date was much more complicated than I had realized.  All of our top dates were either booked by the church or the reception venue, or coincided with other weddings, or were dates that wouldn’t work for other reasons.  I figured since we had more than a year until the wedding, getting both places lined up for the same date would be a breeze – wrong.   But, that being said, once this stressful date picking was done, the rest has been really easy so far. 

We are getting married June 7, 2014 – so a little less than a year to go! 
The wedding will be in Atlanta, Georgia where I am from and where my family still lives.  We debated Chicago for a little while, but for many reasons decided against it.  I have always thought I would get married back home, at our country club, so it seemed like the right choice.

The ceremony will be at the Cathedral of Christ the King.

I’m really excited about this because, as you may know, many churches aren’t very pretty on the inside or outside.  This church is gorgeous.  

The reception will take place at our country club, Cherokee Town Club, just down the road from the church in Buckhead.

My sister had her reception at the club as well, so it’s nice because my mom and I basically know exactly what to expect and I can copy a bunch of the things she did 🙂

Enough about me.
There’s been so many Hollywood Wedding’s that we need to comment:
Joanna Krupa finally got married.

and paid $30,000 for that hideous thing. 


Holly Madison got engaged with a huge ring

but I can’t quite figure out what it is?? 
those are kind words for I hate it. 



Nene Leakes got married in a very lavish affair, costing $2 million. 

with 4 wedding dresses! 


Curtis Stone + Lindsay Price got married and theirs looked very pretty

I really like her bouquet.  

And just a tid-bit I liked and found interesting.
With Tamra Barney’s big wedding and upcoming Wedding-related Bravo Spinoff,
she wore 3 wedding dresses, but put all of the bridesmaids in David’s Bridal Vera Wang Gowns that are under $180! 

Nice that at least one part of a celeb wedding for once was something with a budget! 


xoxo

    Wait how did I not know that Curtis and Lindsay were dating? Love that couple

    Your wedding venues look beautiful! I was married in Napa last August, for me wedding planning was very stress-free and fun…I hope yours is the same!

    And I think Joanna Krupa is absolutely gorgeous…but what a tacky wedding gown she chose. Yikes.

    Interesting that gretchen isn't a bridesmaid. I guess we know a fight is in the future then.

  4. Meredith says: June 26, 2013 at 3:40 pm

    Congrats on setting a date! We're getting married May 24, 2014 and YUP it was so hard to get a date that worked with everyone's schedules! (and 2014 seems to be a great year/popular one for my friends to get hitched, too!). Love Curtis Stone & his wife! Good luck w/planning 🙂

  5. Kelsey (Southern in Love) says: June 26, 2013 at 3:45 pm

    Congrats on getting those big things checked off! I know it's a huge relief to have a date and the basics figured out. We got married in a gorgeous church too! 🙂

    And it's interesting to see who her bridesmaids are…can't wait to see the drama that leads to it. Especially since Alexis is in attendance.

  6. Laura {happily ever} Parker says: June 26, 2013 at 4:30 pm

    Yay for setting a date! The official countdown is on! And Joanna Krupa what a mistake. She is SO gorgeous and that dress took away from her true beauty!!

  7. The Now says: June 26, 2013 at 5:28 pm

    June 7, 2014 = BEST DAY EVER!!!!!! Yahooooooo!!! I pray that your dress is similar to Joanna Krupa's. So classy and elegant. And we are seriously meant to be friends…that Debbie Downer when Jimmy Fallon can't stop laughing is my favorite SNL moment! It's so hilarious. And it is housewife wedding mania right now!!! Congrats on nailing down the date…the rest will be so easy. 😉 xoxo

  8. Ally {Life as I know it} says: June 26, 2013 at 8:11 pm

    Omg that church is to die for! What a beautiful place to have a wedding! And where have I been because I did not know Tamra was getting a spin off?!

  9. Lindley @ The Grinning Labrador says: June 27, 2013 at 12:47 am

    Wedding planning can be insanely ridiculous! Especially when it comes to the dates, so much has to be taken into consideration! Best of luck in your planning… I swear, most all of it of it is very fun :)!

  10. Linda {Calling it Home} says: June 27, 2013 at 11:21 am

    That last one was obviously 'product placement'. I am sure David's paid a ton to have that plug. However, the dresses are lovely and it should not cost a fortune. I am in love with the CC you will be having your wedding. I used to travel to Buckhead for business many moons ago. Fun, and beautiful!

  11. Sarah Christensen says: June 27, 2013 at 1:26 pm

    I love your Wedding Wednesday [even if I'm not getting married anytime soon, I love seeing and reading about it] Sounds like you are off to a great start, everything looks beautiful!

    PS- I love the fun face about Tamra's wedding!! I was giggling when I saw that!!

  12. Johanna says: June 27, 2013 at 2:38 pm

    Your church and venue look so beautiful. Congrats!!

    And…wow, lotsa ugly celebrity wedding decisions. As a wise woman once said on Bravo…money does not buy you class. No siree.

  13. Tuco says: June 28, 2013 at 5:27 am

    I really like users that blog, its really challenging to acquire this particular knowledge almost any way. Excellent work.

    The church and wedding is just stunning!
    Curtis & Lyndsay wedding look the most "normal"

  15. Alyssa says: July 1, 2013 at 2:43 pm

    I just got engaged this weekend, but June 7 is a date I'm looking at – we might be date twins! Congrats on setting the date… I can't even fathom how stressful that is going to be

    That is too funny….I belong to Cathedral of Christ the King and my hubby and I did our pre-cana there with Deacon Whitney (if you're working with him, he's so great! Adore him.) He told us that nearly 50 couples (or something crazy like that!) register to get married at CTK every week and they do 3 weddings a day each and every Saturday. SUCH a beautiful church though! I would have loved to walk down that huge aisle!

    Congrats again! Can't wait to see pics.
