The Last Few Months

I know, I've been slacking in keeping up this blog, and I apologize. Here's what's been going on the last few months. Keep in mind there's not a lot I can say while still keeping the element of surprise alive.

The Song:
The song is a song I picked years ago when Jeff and I first started dating. We were listening to the specific soundtrack in the car, and we both enjoyed the song. I said "Wouldn't this make a nice first dance song?" and he agreed. Since I won't reveal what the song is, I will instead reveal what it is not.

Our song is not:

• My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion
• Love Shack by the B52s
• White Wedding by Billy Idol
• Can You Feel the Love Tonight by Elton John
• Can't Help Falling in Love by Elvis Presley
• The Rains of Castamere from A Song of Ice and Fire

Jeff says: If I hear Rains of Castamere at any point during the evening, I am bolting for the exits.

Sarah adds: Bolting? Bolton? Pun?

The Dance:
Luckily it was pretty easy to find a dance type for this song, and after a few months of practice, we have our dance! It's not very difficult and it's pretty easy to remember. We still need to polish it up and continue practicing during the next year, but it's nice that we've already gotten this taken care of.

Our dance is not:

Or:

Or:

In fact this last one is banned from the wedding. No one is allowed to ask the DJ for this song. :p

Jeff says: Wait... it's not the Macarena? I've been practicing the wrong dance!

The Shoes:
I have my shoes! They're a little strappier than I expected, and the heel isn't as high as I expected, but I think they'll be perfect for a May evening. :)

Here are some of the shoes that I was considering, but decided against. (Serious this time, no jokes.)

The Save-the-Dates:

We ordered our Save-the-Dates from Vistaprint, and I love them. They are perfect for the theme! They came in a few weeks ago. Finally, yesterday, I was able to gather everyone's address, so these will be going out sometime next week. 

I will post a picture of the Save-the-Dates once they've gone out. Don't want to ruin the surprise now, do we?

Additionally, I want to apologize for my terrible handwriting on the envelopes. The invitations will be either professionally written or printed. -_-
