And the planning continues. . .

As many of you know, Zach and I picked our wedding site long before we actually got engaged. I mean, when you know its going to happen and you find the place of your dreams--book it Dano! It is called Sodo Park by Herban Feast and its located just south of the stadiums. It's an old warehouse that they converted into a beautiful event space. Here's a few pictures:
This weekend Leah and I did some wedding dress shopping. . .nothing like sharing all this with your Best Friend. It's been really fun. Leah went to 2 stores on Saturday. I Do Bridal was the first place and was very unsuccessful. The service was horrible, the space too small for all the people that were there and they only book 1 hour appointments so you barely get into the dressing rooms and you're being kicked out. On to the next store--Princess Bride in Bothell. A HUGE sigh of relief. . .we walk in, its bigger, cleaner, and the service 10 times better! Leah found her dress and it is soooo beautiful. I had scheduled two appointments for Sunday, 1. I Do Bridal and 2. Cynderellies Closet. While I was at Princess Bride I checked to see if they had openings the next day and they did so I canceled I Do and scheduled an appointment at PB. While Leah was trying on dresses I was poking around to see if I liked anything and I showed Londa (Leah's Mom) a dress I thought was pretty. It was the first one I ended up trying on on Sunday and it was also the one I ended up buying! I cancelled my second appointment and called it a day. I highly recommend Princess Bride to anyone getting married. The customer service is excellent. I'm so excited that Leah and I both found our dresses this weekend. (I'm glad I did since my wedding is in 6 months--barely enough time for the dress to get here)

Kimberly summed up the weekend wonderfully! Kimberly's dress is off the charts beautiful and looks fantastic on her!

I second the recommendation on Princess Bride (in fact the movie was on last night)!

I love sharing this experience with my BFFAE of 20 years! Now being 32 and 33 it's so fun to finally be planning something we've thought about for all these years!

Congratulations on finding your dress! I had a horrible experience at "I Do Bridal" as well. Your choice of venue is awesome & I hear they have great food!
