Things are a-happenin.

So, lots of news on the wedding front people. As Pat has already told you, we've chosen a reception location. We're pretty excited about that. We've also met with a few photographers. We met with this couple here in Greensboro (where I'm interning for the summer) off of a recommendation, and we both really liked them! Then, the following week Pat met with another couple in Wake Forest. She liked them even more than the Greenboro folk! All that's left is for me to meet them as well, to make sure we're all on the same page, and then we will hopefully have our photographer.

Cake.

Pat went with Stephanie (right?) to meet this cake person. The lady made some samples for them, and Pat was kind enough to save some for me and bring them up to Greenboro with here to let me try. Well, I can tell you now that I'm going to be kind of picky about the cake. I don't want it to be too birthday-cakey and I don't want to frosting to be too sweet. I don't really know what I do want, but I know that I don't want those two things at the very least. After tasting the samples, I really like "yellow cake" as the inside, compared to whatever the other two were. I want to try "pound", but if it's too much like what you get at Starbuck's ™ then I'll have to say no. I also really liked this mint-chocolate icing that was on the chocolate cake. Unfortunately, Pat and I can't really imagine a brown wedding cake. A little too moderne for us. We're going to find out if she can make a mint white-chocolate icing, but I'm skeptical as to how that white chocolate will taste. We'll see I suppose.

Once we have a photographer, we'll work on getting a DJ ("uh thaz my Dee Jay") and then we'll just have to worry about other stuff! We hope to send out some save-the-dates this month so as to give people plenty of time to get it saved.

Excitement!
