Mrs. Snow Cone, Pittsburgh/Johnstown, PA Age and Occupation: 23, Public Health Graduate Student Fiance's Age and Occupation: 23, Engineer Engagement Date: April 9, 2010 Wedding Date: August 2011 Venue: OMOS Church ceremony/Sunnehanna Country Club reception About Me: I’m one of the lucky ones---I met my future husband at the ripe old age of 13, started dating him as a mature woman of 15, and have been enjoying the ride ever since. Here we are, 8 years later, living in Pittsburgh, planning a "homestination" wedding in the place our school romance began---Johnstown, PA. I thrive on talking a mile a minute, eating my weight in chocolate, and internet shopping. I love a lengthy to-do list almost as much as I love a healthy amount of chaos in my life. Mr. Snow Cone and I watch countless episodes of Friends and The West Wing on repeat, root for rival college sports teams, and make each other laugh each and every day. We’re putting together a small-town wedding with a big personality and a classically modern (or modernly classic?) look for 250 of our closest family and friends. It’s been 8+ years in the making, and sometimes I still can’t believe I’m finally getting to marry my high school sweetheart!

14 months ago, we got engaged.

9 months ago, I selected an invitation design (and got Mr. Snow Cone’s approval on it, of course).

3 months ago, I got the ball rolling on the ordering process, finalizing the design details.

6 weeks ago, I ordered our invitations.

1 week ago, we had a bit of a hiccup in the process.

2 days ago, we got it all straightened around.

1 day ago, I sat down with a couple hundred stamps, a box of envelopes, and a color-coded spreadsheet, ready to finally finish these babies off.

2 hours ago, our beloved wedding invitations got dropped into the mailbox, ready to officially invite our guests to our upcoming nuptials.

The first drop!

All of this reminiscing means two things. One, our guests should be receiving their little slice of heaven (aka our wedding invitations) in a matter of a few days. Two, I can finally reveal the Snow Cone invitations later this week! Stay tuned…

Was your invitation process a lengthy one?

Love it! I’m right behind you! Ran out of postcard stamps halfway through, and I’m afraid we calculated overall postage incorrectly, so it’s back to the post office for us! But so close!
