Scan scan away

So we went to the mall this weekend to start our registry. We were hoping to get all of the items we wanted at Home Outfitters done on Saturday but it turns out that you need an appointment with them in order to use their scanners. I did not like this. In my 5 years at Sears we never forced someone to leave and come back after they had made an appointment. I could understand if a scanner wasn't there then maybe we'd want to either come back later or schedule for another day but being told a flat out no bothered me. So we headed off to the Bay instead and had fun scanning a few items in there. We picked out our regular and good china pattern and I really love it! I wish we had a few more options or styles we liked but I do love the pattern we ended up with in the end. I think though the part I'm going to look forward to getting the most would be matching cutlery. We registered for good and everyday (8 sets of each) and it will be nice to have a KFS that all come from the same set and aren't 50+ years old. Still I thank fiance's Grannie very much for giving the cutlery to him or else we'd be eating with our hands.

We also went out to Tartan town and now have the tartan for one of the ring pillows (the other is getting ordered in). We looked into renting kilts for fiance for the wedding but were disappointed that they only had 4 styles to choose from and we really wanted his own tartan. However it turns out for about $500 he could have one made so he's got another month to decide but I think we're leaning towards that option. It would be really neat to see not only him in the kilt but maybe the groomsmen or guests as well!

The next thing on my mind is getting the girls wrangled together and shopping for dress material and starting to think about invitations. It took about 3 hours to cut out just the red paper but I found a great way to do it. Fiance goes and helps a friend of ours renovate and I take over the table and cut paper. I get to visit with them while they work and still get the job done (and keep the boredom levels at bay). I still have the white and black sheets to print off and cut as well which makes me wonder when fiance's going over to help again. Might have to plan a day soon!
