I had a dream last night that another wedding blogger* and myself were starring together in an episode of Law and Order: SVU**. I didn't realize how big a part of my life you all have become! lol
*I'm not going to tell WHICH blogger it was, 'cause I don't want to freak anyone out!
** I really need to pay attention to what I watch right before I go to bed! =)

Three In One!
I have THREE wedding-y related things for you today... so, here's a three-in-one post for you. =) (Don't want to fill up your google readers with three different posts from me within 30 minutes! lol)
Bad Dreams
I had a wedding related nightmare last night. Before I tell you about it, let me preface by saying that my dream world has always been quite weird... so bare with me!
My dream last night was about the reception. In my waking hours I'm stressing out about our reception venue not being big enough (I'm pretty sure the capacity was over estimated to us when we signed the contract--we may be able to FIT that many people in, but probably not comfortably). However, in my dream last night, the reception venue was actually quite nice... the problem is that nothing else was! We were told that we'd have round tables, but in my dream all the tables were long (which, in actuality I would prefer, but I've already bought linens for round tables). Also, the flowers looked horrible and I don't think I saw a single sunflower. Plus, the centerpiece look I envisioned for round tables did NOT look good on long ones. And non of the table runners I bought matched... they all looked like weird, cheap tie patters in various shades of blue.
The weirdest part though was that, in my dream, Jacob was not only black, but had a twin brother... whom I accidentally tried to kiss not knowing it wasn't Jacob! lol
Vases!
Last week I finally got some input from our florist about what kind of vases I should purchase, so, I did a little shopping and found these!
Nine inch cylinder vases! I think they'll look great with bunches of sunflowers (I did a little Internet stalking and found images like this that made me decide for cylinder rather than rounded). Best part? I got 18 vases for.... wait for it.... less than $25!! Big thanks to the Dollar Tree's online shopping capabilities! =)
(My PWC is getting bigger now though... I currently have four boxes not stacked behind my TV... and I anticipate this number growing in the upcoming months).
Tasting #2!
We picked up our second round of cake samples today! This time we went to the bakery at Lamb's Market. I had a sample of their cake at the last bridal show that I went to. I had never heard of Lamb's before and didn't realize they were a grocery store... I was kind of surprised! But, the cake sample I had was great, and then I heard that they were quite popular with weddings (not to mention cheap!).
Six samples this time (I couldn't help myself.... we ate one before the camera phone came out... oops!). We got hazelnut with hazelnut filling, chocolate chip with chocolate mousse filling, chocolate with fudge filling, white with raspberry filling, almond poppy seed with strawberry filling, and banana with Bavarian cream filling. Haven't eaten more than the one yet (Jacob had a big breakfast/lunch) but.... mmmm... I can't wait! =)

First Bad Dream
I had my first bad wedding dream last night... I blame it on the fact that I was working on my invitation design until 12:30 last night and TOTALLY blew off the wedding curfew! lol.
In my dream, the weather was kind of overcast at the coast. It wasn't raining, and I was still willing to go for it, but someone in the family convinced us to hold the ceremony under a picnic shelter thing... that wasn't even NEAR the ocean. Plus, for some reason, the shelter was really short... so everyone head to sit down during the ceremony... including Jacob and I!
Then, my brother (the who is going to officiate) had a cold and was sucking on cough drops the whole time and had a scratchy/weak voice... PLUS, he hadn't rehearsed what he was going to say, and his notes were all out of order, so it went REALLY poorly.
Halfway through the ceremony people started whispering and talking to each other... not a bad situation in itself, except it was EVERYONE. Then , someone on Jacob's side of the family decided that the ceremony was taking too long and said, "let's just get this party started!" and the ceremony just kind of ended!
I was not happy AT ALL. Suddenly we were at the reception (which was taking place in the picnic shelter) and the sun came out from behind the clouds. So, I grabbed Jacob, my brother, and the photographer, and dragged them out onto the sand and made my brother go through the ceremony again so that I could get married on the beach! lol
