My Wedding Pics and a New Blog

Hi everyone, If you happen to come across this blog, I just wanted to let you know that I have a new blog at www.hilarysurratt.blogspot.com. I update that blog often, but I figured that I could update this blog with new wedding information that I come across that might be interesting or helpful to you if you are planning your own special wedding!

Since it's been almost 6 whole months and I never posted any pictures on this blog, here they are from our August 3,2008 BEAUTIFUL wedding!!!

We're married!

It's all over and I can't believe it! Our wedding was more than I could have ever dreamt of! Everything went so perfectly and I wouldn't want it any other way! I'm very proud of myself that I didn't even cry for the whole wedding! I guess it's because I cried every day before that! Our Honeymoon was so fun... we went to LA, hollywood, Laguna Beach, La Jolla, San Diego, Anaheim, Disneyland, Legoland, and Seaworld! We had something to do each day! Being married is so wonderful and we are enjoying more and more each day!!! I need to post some pictures, and I will soon... Thank you to everyone who came on our big wedding day! It was so much fun!

Engagement Pictures!

It was the fourth of July Yesterday and Mike and I went out on the boat with his family! We decided the night before that while we were out we would take engagement pictures, because we haven't taken any yet(we've been engaged for 10 months). That can just tell you how crazy it's been and we haven't had any time! So, we went to capers island and took some beautiful pictures! Sherry (Mike's mom) turned out to be a great photographer! I can't wait to post them! They will be here shortly!

43 days left....

Time has flown by so quickly!!! All of my inviations are out... well, almost. I have a stack of 15 left. The honeymoon is planned. Everything is booked and ready for the big day! I've already received over 80 replys back from my RSVP cards!! I love getting them... and reading what everyone is saying! Here are some pictures of us making the invitation! Everyone helped... even Mike's dad! :) We made over 200 and after that it's almost like we stopped counting!!!






I had my first shower... it was so fun and such a great turnout! My wonderful bridesmaids threw it for me and it was amazing! I received lots of gifts for Mike and I for our new home and married life. We are looking at different apartments lately and now we are just deciding on which one to pick based on location, price, and how much we like it!







This past weekend I went on vacation with Mike and his family camping. It was fun, and I guess it will probably be our last vacation with his family before we get married! It was a lot of fun... we went white water rafting... I actually fell out if my boat!!!


Alterations on everything are coming along well... the bridemaids dresses are shipping right now!!! Hopefully they will be here sometime this week! My dress is absolutely gorgeous and I can't wait until it's all together! I'm getting my bridal portraits taken within the next couple of weeks depending on how fast my dress gets done! They will be taken on the beach and I just can't wait!!!

My little nephew, Jack Bradford is getting so big and absolutely adorable!!! He is actually going to be a part of the wedding party... it's a surprise on how he's coming in!!! I am just so excited!!



That's about all the updates for now that I can think of... I'm sure there is more but I'll have to get back later!
