very productive wedding weekend!!

Finally after jetting all around the country, Jason and I had a weekend at home in Atlanta for the first time in a month or more. And we couldn't ask for a better weekend because it was 75 and sunny all weekend!!



But of course, we spend most of it inside trying to get a few wedding things done! We went to the fabulous Brown & Co. jewelers to look at wedding bands! Ian, the owner's son, has been so great to work with and always remembers us when we come in. Great customer service really goes along way.


I, of course, have to be difficult and would love to have a band made to match my custom engagement ring that Jason designed with them last year. It of course is expensive and apparently gold/platinum is the only thing that is up in this market. But alas, Jason did such a good job with the engagement ring ... the wedding band should do it justice.

Jason is a fan of the uber-manly tungsten-carbide rings that are the same metal drill bits are made of. How appropriate for my engineer :) Lets just hope they never have to cut it off him, because it can't be done!

We haven't made any decisions yet, but it was fun to look!!!



Also, we went to Men's Warehouse and picked out tuxes for Jason and the groomsmen. I was not loving this process because the tuxes, while nice, are kinda blah and because Jason has the skinny track star look, I was worried about the fit. But he tried on several and they looked good, so I can't wait to see him in the whole look! Unfortunately though, I didn't love any of the vest choices, so I am on the lookout for fabulous hot pink and blue ties for the guys to wear to liven it up. I'm thinking a very straight-out-of-j.crew look for the men!



perhaps like this?





Also made the Save the Dates!!! Very late, I know, but hey, better than not. Hope to get them in a few days!

ps. today at school .... I put an inkpen behind my ear and it busted all in my hair. I have had black/blue/purple hair all day ... and even after washing it, its not totally out. Oh, the life of a teacher :)
