Flowers




I met with a florist last week and thought it went great. I'm not really a flower person and never understood the point of paying so much for something that will die. But i have changed my mind. I didnt have to spend a lot of money for pretty flowers. I love the flowers that we chose, i think they are happy flowers and will set the tone of the party. For the past year i've been trying to design a table arrangement. I think i finally got it together and can't wait to see it all finished at the wedding. Without giving it all away i'll just show some ideas.

GET YOUR RSVPs BACK!!!!

Before you read this, know, I am not mad...but being the scarcastic ass that I am, my message reads as such...lol

Please send back your RSVPs by March 15th as requested on the wedding invite. I (Elijah) will refuse to chase people down in order to find out if you'd like to attend OUR wedding, that WE are paying for.

It's postage is paid for, you literally have to write your name, check a box and write a number on the card before sticking it in the mail box. Please do this fast, so that we will have food for you at this wedding.

Again, I'm not angry. Just want these things to get in on time.

PS...how many people after reading this said "wow. what a dick?" lol

Awaiting your card,
Elijah

We got a Block of Hotel Rooms!

YAY!
So we finally got group rates for a block of rooms. It is $89 a night, with complementary parking in the hotel parking deck, and free 2 mile radius shuttle. The free shuttle means that you won't have to drive to the wedding site and don't have to worry about finding a sober driver!! This hotel gets bonus points from us.

I wanted to hurry and put this information up, since a few of you have been asking where to stay in Richmond. I still need to talk to my event planner and find out if the block of rooms is under Elijah & Rian Hedrick and how many days the block is for. I'm pretty sure though, if you are in a hurry to book your room, you can call the hotel and ask about our block and it will be set up. Just make sure you say Hedrick not HENDRICK. haha

Thanks for your patience everyone.

Registry or Buy-A-Port


Yesturday , Elijah and I finally registered at Target with my sister (maid of honor) Micia. It was pretty fun walking around with a scanner gun. We tried picking things that would improve our home and show a little more of our personality. A lot of people were asking us where we registered, i guess to get an idea of what we liked for the bridal shower and/or wedding.

Here is the Target registry link: Rian & Elijah Target Registry

If you have received our invitations, then you saw our Buy-A-Port card. Instead of going out to a store and finding a wedding present, we gave a second option. Our honeymoon is a 20 day cruise around the Mediterranean. You can donate to our honeymoon, by checking off a port and include it in your envelope at the wedding. We will send a post card from the port you checked off. With your help our honeymoon will be the adventure of a lifetime.

We want to thank everyone for being part of our family, and we are working really hard to have an awesome wedding!

Love,

R & E
