Monograms

I am definetly interseted in finding a monogram of our initials and using them in different areas of our wedding. I love the letters on the floor and the big letter to the side of the cake is something new I have not seen before. 

This thing is A-MAZING!

I figure that since our "wedding cake" is actually going to be a cupcake tower (a photo is in a previous blog) that this would be WAY cool to have in the room somewhere! I dont know how I could pull it off making it myself or how much it would cost for 3 or 4 big blocks of ice but WOW I love it. 

Change of Date

So I do not know why I thought getting married the day of Christmas was going to workout but I did.  Ladies and Gentlemen you will be super happy to hear that I have had a revaluation.....THATS A SILLY WEDDING DATE!  

So Alex and I have changed out wedding date to December 5, 2009

Chuppah Wedding Ceremony

Alex and I have decided to have a Chuppah (sounds like hoop:a) as the focus of our ceremony. The Chuppah with the Star of David is an example of a traditional Jewish Chuppah. Ours will look a tad different than the traditionl Chuppah, as neither Alex or I are Jewish. Alex and I know that we are entering into a marriage that is centered in the Lord.  The Lord has blessed us with each other and we want so badly for Him to be the most important relationship in our lives. 

A Chuppah is a canopy traditionally used in Jewish weddings. It consists of a cloth, sheet or sometimes a prayershawl stretched or supported over four poles. A Chuppah symbolizes the home the couple will build together.

This "home" or Chuppa lacks furniture as a reminder that the basis of a home is the people within it, not the possessions gained. In a spiritual sense, the covering of the chuppah represents the presence of God over the covenant of marriage.

 

I really like the silver Chuppah with red flowers but would use blue flowers to replace the red. I also really like the while Chuppah with the overlay of color.....hmmm decisions decisions!
