A very marry Christmas

Christmas has come and gone already this year, and we got LOTS of fun wedding related gifts this year! This post is really image heavy, so I'm sorry if you have a slow connection but I'm very excited to share!

First, my cake topper came and it's just so cute I thought I would share: I ordered it from ebay (Ronnie's mom helped me scout it out!) , so I was a little worried that it might break or come in a not so great condition, but I couldn't be happier! It's a little heavy, so I hope that doesn't pose a problem with the cake but I've seen lots of pictures of it on top of cakes so I won't worry about it too much. There is a matching Lenox cake serving set which I'm considering ordering off of ebay as well, but I have plenty of time to worry about that.

In the same Disney theme, here are our super cute personalized gifts from Ronnie's parents! :

Pretty frame, notice our names in the bottom corners? I LOVE this frame and was going to buy it on our last visit, but now I don't have to :D

Mickey and Minnie bobble heads! This is something that you kind of have to see up close in personal, because they have magnets in their noses that make them kiss! They're super cute!Just Married bulb with our wedding date on the back in one of our wedding colors. I love the little hearts, so cute :D Also pictured, my yarn Ronnie got me for Christmas.



My mom and dad got me my something old, something new, something borrowed something blue.
Toasting flutes! They have our names and the date on them but it was really hard to get a picture of it!Garter from my grandmothers wedding day, that she gave to my mom on her wedding day. So pretty! Right before this I was knitting up a garter, which wasn't looking so great so I was soooo happy to receive this! I made a post about the one I was making on my knitting blog.The commitment ring my dad gave my mom! Aww so sweet!

Everything all packed up in my little bride tote and ready to be brought back out on the wedding!

Merry Christmas!

Christmas at Greenfield Village

On Friday the 11th of this month, Ronnie and I went with my parents to see Holiday Nights at Greenfield Village. If you live in the Detroit area I highly recommend getting out in the cold to do this because it is lots of fun! I didn't get a chance to take a lot of pictures of the inside of the houses because it was a lot more busy this year than when we went last year, so Ronnie and I went on Saturday to take some more pictures. Here are a few of my favorites:


There are tons more in my photobucket account here if you are interested in them. Now we need to get out to the Toledo Zoo for Lights before Christmas!

Last night I finished up the majority of our Christmas cards and dropped them in the mailbox. I sent out a little wallet size photo from our engagement shoot with all of our cards. I also won our cake topper on ebay last night:

I really wanted a custom cake topper, but the thought of spending over $100 bucks on something that will probably get packed up and never used again seemed pretty useless. I had originally e-mailed Ronnie's mom to see if she could find us one in Disney World, but she called me last night with the ebay listing that was more than half off the original price! Only one other person ended up bidding at the last minute but in the end I happily won! I think I want a pretty subdued cake color wise, so this topper will look really nice. Plus Mickey and Minnie will fit in with the rest of my Mickey collection after the wedding! Here are some of my cake inspiration pictures:

I think the first one with the cupcakes is my favorite. What do you guys think?

In other news, I have our date held with deux adore for hair and makeup. I'm just waiting for the contract to come in the mail. We're also slowly in the process of checking room rates for hotels in the area of the wedding and seeing about room blocks. Our Save the Date magnets came in the mail and they're super cute. I bought some address labels to spruce up the envelopes but I won't start mailing them out until we have the hotel situation figured out and until sometime after Christmas so they don't get mixed in with all of the card madness. I only ordered 25 of them and now I'm wishing I got more because it seems like everyone wants one! I'll post some pictures once they're mailed out and people have started receiving them!

My maid of honor, my best friend

Thank you for all that you do, for being such a wonderful friend. I honestly don't know where I would be without you, I suppose I can thank The Merv for something!

The world is a vastly better place with Team Sara (H)!!! in it, so thank you for being my friend even if I spill booze on your phone or inadvertently say something about your winter boots. :D I can't wait for next year when we will dominate the photobooth and I <3 you!!!

This is our first year with an artificial tree. We just finished decorating it! Yes my mom got us Mickey and Minnie bride and groom ears with our names on them last year. I think they are so cute!
