The search is over!

After many stops and a lot of tears the search is over for the perfect dress. I cannot go into much detail here for obvious reasons however if anyone (other than the groom) would like to see a picture then email me.

The other exciting thing is that we have our cakes and will get to eat them. For the bride's cake it will be white on white butter cream icing. The designs on each layer are different but blend together nicely. On the bottom layer it will be almond cake with raspberry filling. On the middle layer it will be white chocolate cake with apricot filling. On the top layer (that you will only get to taste if you are around us on June 15, 2007) is almond cake with Bavarian cream filling. For the groom's cake we will enjoy German chocolate cake with Bavarian cream filling frosted with butter cream icing. The best part of the groom's cake is the double-dipped chocolate covered strawberries! YUMMY!

We think that we have decided on the music for the wedding. We will have more updates on that once things are firmed up.

This weekend we are going to visit Cole Phillips. Cole is the pastor of The Connection Church in Kyle, TX. Mark and Cole went to school together from elementary school on and have been friends since then. Cole has very graciously agreed to be the officiant. For those that were wondering about the big news that Mark was referring to in a previous post, this is it.

Invitations have been received and are correct. They are all addressed and should go out this week.

Things are coming together nicely.

Your cakes sound very good. I am excited to get to taste them! Forget about visiting with you, bring on the cake. Just kidding of course. I am so excited for the next few weeks!

Love, Liv
