HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!
What are you doing today? Anything fun/special? Michael and I are spending the day celebrating looove--today is his cousin Colleen's wedding! I'm excited to spend the day with his family and enjoy the gorgeous day :) (and try not to hyperventilate about the fact that there's only 4 months left until our wedding!)
Speaking of which: last weekend. The florist went well (there's a photo of a mockup of our centerpieces in the instagram collage). And the open house at our reception location was great too-we got to eat yummy food (although not all the food options)-it was fun and it def. helped us with our decisions for the food. Luckily they also do a thing for all their couples where we are able to get 2 free to-go meals. We just call them towards the beginning of the week and find out if they're having a wedding or some event that coming weekend. We ask what the menu is. If they're serving items we want to try then they'll pack us a to-go meal for us to come pick up during the event! It's pretty awesome. We want to try their cheddar crusted bacon chicken (my mom has had it and will not shut up about it lol) and their fish option (and for that I mean Michael wants to try it). But yeah..good stuff.
