From Nathan

Hey everybody

Well I have had such an amazing time with Kelly planning the wedding, even though she has done a ton more than me. I still can't believe I am marrying such an awesome woman that loves me and supports me in everything that I do. This has been fun,and stressful all at the same time.... who would have thought!? Kelly is the most amazing woman in the world and I love her with all of my heart. I love her parents, Mr. Kevin and Mrs. Debs, they haven't kicked me out yet... ha ha! Their whole family is great. My mom Peggy Fauscett is the best mom in the whole wide world and I love her so much. Well, keep checking up on the blog to see what's going on.

Mamma Gone Zilla..... "Mammazilla"


Our day started off slow. You know like slowly getting out of the bed, slowly getting breakfast, and slowly getting to our first appointment. Yep! An hour and a half late to the florist! This was due to running our mouth and not paying attention to the exits. What should have been an hour and a half drive, turned into a 2 hour or so drive. We finally got to Hawkinsville and hooked up with Peggy and made great progress at the florist. Nathan, you and your groomsmen are going to look so handsome in the "fru fru" flowers we picked out, I'm so excited.

Next we went to register at two stores in Hawkinsville and found some really pretty items to help make their first house a home. Peggy and I found out really quick that what was hip in the 70's has quickly gone "dork" and out of style.

Next Kelly and I tried to make our way to Applebee's and got lost once again. Now getting lost trying to find the florist is one thing but getting lost when trying to find food in another. This is when the "zilla" started coming out. Once to the restaurant we ask to be seated at a booth. Now remember this is at 3 in the afternoon. They are not busy at this time.......plenty of seats everywhere! So the girl looked around and said "how about a tall table." Ok! A tall table it will be. Not happy I like to sit at booth, not a tall table and I want food! NOW! While waiting on our food two employees get into a argument right in front of us! Food comes out and Kelly bites down on her broccoli and chips a tooth. We tell the waiter because we thought they might want to know so no one will try and sue them and all she said was "Oh it must have been the garlic." By this time Kelly and I look at each other and just said "oh yeah it must have been that hard as brick garlic!" Oh well, a toothless bride isn't too unique in Vidalia so we will have to put our originality somewhere else in the wedding.

Next we made our way to Aunt Barbara's and had a nice quick ice cream break. Back in the car and on to David's. Oops! Not yet I lost my bracelet. Can't go without it... got to have the signature look you know! The Deb's look. The one everyone is after. If your still not sure which look it is you know the one in Cosmo. Now on to David's but had to call Aunt Bar and see how to get from WR to the Macon Mall. Her directions were almost right. Well it should have been a right but she said left and we tried it twice ....Like I said it should have been a right. Confused? Yep well we were too. Finally at David's we start inquiring about adding the flower girl dresses to Kelly's registry and the girl told us they could not add anything because we registered in Savannah and it had to be done through them. Well we thought that was a little weird but didn't say much and went on with the rest of what we had to do. Kelly then gets in the car and calls David's in Savannah and finds out the real reason that we had to deal with changes to the registry through Savannah! They have lost her entire registry, and do not have her in their computer at all. Now listen! We have been to David's about 3 or 4 times adding, trying on Bridesmaids dresses, and even buying Kelly's dress. Thank God we have it safe at home and not in their data base or it would be gone as well. They did offer to register us again! Yeah.........right! I don't think so! MAMMAZILLA and BRIDEZILLA!!!!!!!! By the way we did find adorable flower girl dresses and Milligan and Jakobi are going to look precious in them... along with their tiaras we found. We looked for other items like wedding bands, shoes, etc. just could not find a band that would look just right on Nathan's finger when he is playing in Chinese....If you dont get this, be sure to ask Nate...he never minds being given the chance to pick on his dear old mother in law to be : ) Hee Hah. But don't worry I'm sure we will find the perfect wedding band before it is all over. On to Vidalia and into bed if we can find our way!

If Mamma aint happy...aint nobody happy!!!

This weekend I am spending time with my mom....gotta keep the old lady happy!! Just a joke mom, if you're reading this...you know you're where I get my good looks from!ha ha ha... We have a busy day planned today and another one tomorrow! This afternoon I will be registering at a place in Vidalia, Murphy's Monogram for Pete's Sake, and tomorrow I will be visiting a florist in Hawkinsville (Wild Flowers) as well as a couple of places Nathan and I need to register at there. We are hoping to catch up with Ms. Peggy while we are there! We have already placed our main registry at Smith's Hardware in Vidalia and another one at Target but I heard there are some cute places in Hawkinsville that are a must...I think they will be the perfect places to put the finishing touches on our registry. Then it is onto David's Bridal to find flower girl dresses and hopefully to a couple places to find something special for my bridesmaids! Im sure we will throw in a lot of laughter and a few meals...We Williams ladies like to eat : )...and laugh for that matter!! Are you guys as ready as I am to hear from Nathan on here??? Whew....Its his turn I think! Let's encourage him to blog a bit... You guys might get bored with the stuff I have to say ;) Come on Nate....Let's hear it!

Wedding plans a la Hull boys....

Well hello again...I am tired today! The surprise visit with Nathan was wonderful this weekend but the drive home left us with 2 hours of sleep and I just can't get back into the groove of things!! I am hanging out with three of my favorite fellas tonight, Auggy, Caleb, and Blake and they are keeping Mindy and me entertained as usual! Auggy is 9, Blake is 14, and Caleb is 16. They have some "wonderful" ideas for our wedding and I decided I would share some of them with you all...Blake says the wedding song should be "Paradise City", while Caleb's vote is "Pour Some Sugar on Me"....ha ha ha! Auggy thinks the groomsmen whould wear pink and that the girls should carry purple roses! As a for the reception... Auggy says chicken wings, Caleb thinks pork rhines would be delicious, and Blake's exact response was "A big ole pile of beef jerkey." Mindy chimed in with Sushi...which sounds the best...yummy! Blake wants the grooms cake to be a cougar and Auggy agrees! One thing that all the boys ..and mindy, thanks mindy, agree on is that we should leave the reception on a John Deere lawn mower with a V-8 engine. WOW....No doubt this will be a wedding you don't want to miss!!....and if you were wondering Auggy volunteered to be "the groom." Ha ha ha...too cute : )

She was nice enough to create our blog page and now I'm gonna do my best to do it justice.... I'm even going to try and get Nathan to blog every now and then...wish me luck and bear with me! We want to use this blog to keep you guys informed on our wedding plans and as a way for us to document our exciting journey every step of the way. Please feel free to follow and comment and all that fun stuff! Thanks so much for being a part of our lives as we take this important step together! Today we are in Taylors, South Carolina! Peggy and I surprised Nate when we showed up here this morning! It has been super nice to spend some time together WITHOUT "talking wedding." While planning a wedding is exciting, it is also stressful! We have been blessed with many wonderful friends who have helped to make the process as "stress free" as possible! Hope you enjoy the blog and we would love to hear from you all : )
