perfect favors

Going with the pear theme, we have chosen our favors...

It matches perfectly with my blog name as well, which I love dearly. It took me two hours or so to come up with something catchy. "A Perfect Pear" was already taken, but I am so much more in love with mine b/c my soon to be last name starts with a B. So not only are we about to "B" the perfect married pear, but I will also be Mrs. B pretty soon!

Green Fever!

Wedding SHOES are in! Successful online shopping! They are a bit high I do admit, but the MR. is 6'4''. The higher the heal the easier it is to dance with him. I'm so excited for the night before the cruise we are staying in Miami and we are gonna now go SALSA DANCING. I just can't believe it is 90 days to go.

I'm trying not to make all of my endings with exclamation points, I'm just that darn excited!!

Someone has signed me up for brides magazine, or by going to the bridal expo in town that is how I got signed up. I want to thank whoever did it because it is very exciting to get a magazine in the mail, but it's even more fun because it has a checklist and I am reminded every month of what I need to do. But since I only have 3 more months, I made the final check list along with the check list they give you and here it goes:
