So I convinced Chris that it would be a fantastic idea to go ahead and do our registries on Friday...I only had to ask him once. Shocker. I usually have to beg and plead for him to do anything Wedding Related that he doesn't view as "fun" but rather "work".
We started out at Target, even though I felt like I was going in playing "Russian Roulette" from all the nightmare articles and comments I was reading about Target's terrible registry and return policy! We did not have a good experience at Target, which is really sad, because I love shopping there! We couldn't find more than 6 things to put on our registry...literally, we walked out with 6 items!
Our next stop...Bed, Bath & Beyond. After spending a looooong but extensive 3 hours there I felt amazing leaving. Sadly though, I have family in a town where the closest BB&B is 2 hours away and with a lot of older family who are PC & Web illiterate, I still had to find another solution. However, I really wish that this could be the only registry that I have...I am in love with EVERYTHING we put on here!
The next day I went to Macy's and set up a registry - but they didn't have near the items for me to put on there. I left with only 40 items and most were doubles from BB&B. However the bridal consultants were amazing and really great to work with. They were very nice and answered all my questions.
After doing these 3 locations with Chris, I am officially burnt out on all things registry! I don't see how these brides can check it every week!! Haha, good luck friends and family - I'm not sure I will ever look at them again! :) Just kidding!

Florida in 48 hours!
Well we are leaving for Florida in less than 48 hours and I feel that I have SO MUCH to do before our flight pulls out of the airport! I have to work both today and tomorrow so I wont get a whole lot of time to things accomplished either!
However, On Monday I am getting my engagement pics taken and I couldn't be more excited! These will be the first ever professional pictures Chris and I have ever gotten taken together! <3 I can't wait to line my walls with them! I think we have some really great ideas - we have 4 outfit changes and 2 locations, a Paint the Dress style set and the ocean! :) I simply cannot wait. Once I get those photos I'll make sure to share!
Tuesday we are meeting our wedding planner, Britney @ Charmed Weddings (Tampa, FL) for the first time in person! We're also checking out our possible after party & hotel accommodations for our guests, Taste testing our Menu & Cake flavors, as well as meeting our photog for the wedding. It's going to be one BUSY day!
Wednesday I think I am going to treat Chris and myself to a nice relaxing day at the spa, as well as a nice relaxing couples massage on the beach. We both have been so stressed out the past couple of weeks for different reasons and I really want some time to reflect and just enjoy each other!
I can't wait to be on the beach. Toes in the sand. Breeze from the gulf. Lots of vacation sex. <--- had to throw that one in! I didn't get a brazilian for nothing!! :)
Will update when we get back!
