Work work work - and it's actually fun.

Our trifecta is complete. For the most part.

Robby and I had a weekend full of wedding planning. We went to Target and spent a couple hours filling up our registry there. You should NOT be surprised to see many many DVDs on our list. We ran into a similar situation at Target as we did at Pottery Barn: lots of things are seasonal and therefore won't be around by the time we get married, so we'll end up going back closer to our wedding date.

We also walked around St. Paul looking at different hotels that are close to the caves. We want to set up a block of rooms at places we've seen. We have narrowed down our choices, so that is close to being finished. All I know is that I REALLY want to stay at the St. Paul Hotel! That place is incredible.

On Sunday we had our first appointment with a potential photographer. It went really well! I'm going to leave out names until we have made a decision, but the person we met with on Sunday has really set the bar high! We have two more appointments set up and I am working on a third. It felt great to get some more work done on our day.

Is there a do-over button?

As you may have surmised from Robby's last post, we went to Bed Bath and Beyond for our second round of registering. We drove over to the Eagan location, which was not the best choice in the long run, since it is apparently one of their smallest. The people working there were really nice and helpful, but unfortunately the selection was really lacking.

And no, we're not being sarcastic! We were both really surprised to find only 6 choices of tablecloths, 8 choices of placemats, 15 choices of bed sheets. After searching through their website, I also learned that it is nearly impossible to find dishes that are NOT offered in 16 piece sets. We really don't need any more coffee mugs, just get us some dang plates! I was also struck with the feeling that everything we were seeing at BB&B could be found at any other store--there wasn't anything unique.

This afternoon we went over to Pottery Barn on Grand Avenue. After a few minutes of frustration, we found a lot of items at PB and we'll be eliminating our BB&B registry. You can find a link to our registries here on the blog. Our last stop will be at Target, which we're pretty sure is going to be one long list!

My goal is 10 pages. I'm sure we can do it. YES WE CAN.

This week: we have an appointment with a florist, we're going to call some hotels in St. Paul and Roseville, finalizing things with D'Amico and some more work on finding a photographer.
