I'm kind of in love with the mustache picture and the guys walking like cool kids picture.

Cake!

We went cake tasting last Wednesday. I love me some cake, so my thought process was pretty much YAY FREE CAKE TO TASTE, plus I was pretty excited to check another thing off my list of things to accomplish before the wedding.

We went with The Mixing Bowl Bakery for our cake as it was one of the only ones we could find that would do a swiss meringue buttercream for us. (That sugar butter crap most people consider buttercream is NOT a proper icing. Its seven minute frosting and its basically glue made from sugar.)

We tasted a few different flavors of pound cake (mmm pound cake) with different combinations of fillings and icings.  We settled on the marbled pound cake (second from the left in the picture) with swiss meringue frosting. That's it. No fillings, no alternating cake layers, no ridiculousness. Just plain simple deliciousness.

Though that didn't stop us from trying all of the rest of it until it was gone.

Our Venue

Taylor and I will be getting married on a private estate out in Gloucester that is run by a close family friend of mine. Mom has some lovely pictures of it, but alas I have not managed to get them from her so you will just have to settle for this brochure.

I've been picturing getting married at Wareham Farm for years and now that I am actually getting married I am so excited that most of what I dreamed up is going to be made into a reality. It is right on the water, has an amazing library and widow's walk for wedding party pictures, and a massive yard for a spectacular party.

Its going to be fantastic.

Meet My Makeup Artist

After much waffling back and forth on whether or not I wanted to book a makeup artist I decided that I did in fact want to. I want to feel like the best version of me, and I want the female members of our wedding party to feel pampered and pretty when they have to have their pictures taken nine million times. To that end I have found Catie and I am super excited to be working with her. She is a doll and a half and I cannot wait to see how gorgeous she makes everyone look and feel on the wedding day.

Meet our DJ

Music is an incredibly large part of Taylor's life, so of course we wanted to make sure we had a DJ who had the same amount of passion that Tay does about the lyrical. We also wanted to make sure we had one that wouldn't play the chicken dance and who would have fun while making our guests dance.

Just in case you missed the fact above, we will not have the chicken dance at our wedding. Or any other song that has a dance associate with it.

I repeat...no chicken dance.

Sorry to crush everyone's hopes and dreams.

Now that that is cleared up let me introduce you to Amanda. Shes fun, totally into music, and won't play any songs with dances.

I cannot wait to dance up a storm.

Meet Our Photographer

We are entering the phase where we find all of the important vendors and book them before anyone else can. I feel like I am competing with invisible brides everywhere. Its intense I tell you, intense!

But we have a lovely photographer lined up to shoot photos of us, our lovely guests and family, and all the awesome details that go into a wedding.

Mostly us though...

Anyway! Meet Jason. He is awesome. One of my big things about our vendors is that I really want them to have as much fun at the wedding as we will have. (While still doing their jobs obviously...) I think that so far we've done a really good job making sure that will happen.

Check out his galleries and get super psyched about the awesome photos that will come out of our wedding.
