* Our photographers mailed us our wedding cd today!!! Hopefully by Wednesday night I will be able to post some of their amazing photos from our big day – especially the ceremony and reception – which I have yet to recap!
* Our videographer is uploading some of our wedding dvd to youtube so I post a bit on my blog!
* My headache has returned… it stayed for 2.5 weeks, left for 5 days, and now is back in full force. Grrrrreeeaaaat.
* I really miss dance class. I wish it wasn’t so expensive, because I would totally take a class every night that I have left in Atlanta if I didn’t have to save my monies for our big move.
* I have yet to reveal what I gave my bridesmaids, ring bearers, and flower girls for being in the weddings…here are the gifts!
A special wish bracelet from Etsy and a koozie (having Christmas colors made it easy)
A personalized bag, handmade flip flops, drop pearl necklace from Etsy, PLUS tissues, gum, lip gloss, make-up remover wipes, granola bars, water bottle (not pictured)
Personalized Hoodie towel from Etsy, sand toys, Superman markers & notebook, Grow-A-Dinosaur, Gack, PLUS candy, granola bars, more coloring supplies (not pictured)
Make-your-own keychain, lip gloss, letter magnet, PLUS personalized tote bag & matching towel, flip flops, make-your-own-purse kit (not pictured)
*Mr. Bear gave his groomsmen a personalized drinking glass and a cigar (from St. Thomas) – Unfortunately, we handed out our gifts at the rehearsal dinner in the middle of all of the crazy dancing singing chaos and did not take a single photo of our wedding party opening everything! We did get some photos of them with their loot though…
Here are two of the groomsmen and Mr. Bear enjoying their cigars at the reception.
Three bridesmaids… cousin Samantha is taking advantage of the koozie! It was so cold at the wedding that everyone’s little fingers were freezing off, so all of the girls used their koozies – atleast for the glasses that fit inside!

Finny and Ian with their sand toys
Notice all the bridesmaids wearing their flippyflops during the bouquet toss! I think that the flip flops were also a very awesome gift so none of the girls had to run around barefoot in the cold.
* I wish I had thought to get the bridesmaids pashmina shawls because then I would have covered all the bases – hands, feets, arms!

We gave koozies too! They were such a hit. : )
I hope your headache goes away and stays away!!
Love the wedding party gifts!!
Your gifts were so thoughtful! I loved them!
I’ve been having headache issues too. I think it has a lot (if not mostly) to do with stress. If not that then the change in the weather is driving my sinus’ INSANE! I hope it gets better. I feel your pain, I feel like mine is a constant little buzzing in my head.
