Welcome!

Marshall and I are so excited to announce that we are getting married!

Our wedding will be on September 24, 2011 in Spokane Washington at The Spokesman-Review Production Building, in downtown Spokane.  We have so many exciting events in the works for the weekend of our wedding, and can't wait to have our friends and family gathered together to celebrate the start of our very own baby family!

We have tabs up top that you can click on or you can just click RSVP <--- and it will bring you right to the page, and also a link to our Registry <--- at myregistry.com

We have rooms blocked out at The Montvale <--- Just say you are with the Smith/Lichtenwaldt wedding (you will get a better rate), it is located within walking distance from the venue.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to call me at any time!

Lots of love!
Alicia and Marshall

60 days and counting down!

So crazy that we are already at the final stretch!  Seems like if I blink my eyes it is two years ago and we were just getting engaged.  My how time has flied by!

We're getting down to the nitty gritty stuff now.  Invites are being printed and will be out in the mail at some point next week.  I'm picking up my dress on Monday, it looks amazing!  Linda did a fantastic job, can't wait for everyone to see it.  It is exactly how I have envisioned it from the beginning.

We finalized the menu for the wedding, and it sounds AMAZING!  We ended up going with Feast Catering Co, Sylvia is so fantastic, I feel so beyond blessed that I was able to book her so last minute.  That and the menu that she put together for us is so delicious, my wonderful dad even flew to Alaska to bring home salmon for the dinner, so look forward to some very, very fresh fish, and yummy local food.

Now we just need to figure out how we are going to decorate the space!

I have a few ideas, just need to figure out how we are going to get it all together, have enough time to set up and then tear down.  It is a huge space, so we shall see!

My mom and I picked out 25 of these while we were in Hawaii

Other than that, we are down to two bakers, and should have our decision by Monday for our desserts, we're going to have a dessert bar with a few choices, so everyone should be able to find something to strike their fancy.  Marshall went on his bachelor party a couple of weeks ago in Vegas, he had a fantastic time hanging with all his friends from back home and one from Spokane.  

I'm off to Seattle this weekend for my bachelorette party, though I am assuming that it will be far more low key than Marshall's trip to Vegas ;)  We are going to a concert Friday night, breakfast (more importantly pitchers of mimosas) then roaming around downtown Seattle, mani/pedis... then to watch a burlesque show Saturday evening, and possibly a drink or two and some dancing.  Up early, because I have a makeup job in Spokane around 3.  Sara has tried for months to make sure I wouldn't book any clients, but well I love my job to much, doing makeup is far too much fun!

So yes, lots of stuff going on, and Marshall and I are slowly getting closer to being married, which is the whole point of all of this silliness.  People ask a lot, how excited I am for our big day, my usual response is I can't wait till September 25th, because I am counting down the days till we are just plain old married!
