Up 2 Speed :-)

To Date: Jimmy and I have been engaged for about 6 weeks. Time is going by so quickly! :-) We have been busy little bee's during this time. I figured I would get you guys "up to speed" on what we have done!

The Date / Location: I have always pictured a beautiful summer wedding, but lets face it...my entire family, & 95% of our friends live at the local race tracks all weekend, all summer long. Racing & Friends make up both of our lives, and we had agreed our wedding wouldn't be the same without everyone there, therefore we determined November would be a perfect month... Next was the exact day, I wanted Friday the 11th, Making our anniversary 11/11/11, but Friday weddings are tough for everyone involved. Our next preferred date was November 19th, but it would be subject to change depending on availability, we wanted to take time to visit some venues, as I would rather plan the day around the place, than the place around the day. Back a few months ago Jimmy and I attended an MCD work party at the Hilton Garden Inn in Troy, NY. We both loved the location, the inside, the outside, and the Recovery Room attached :-), so when we started talking about reception locations we both new that is what we wanted without a doubt...butttttt we new we had to shop around and find the best for our buck$. I began calling around to different locations and was finding that many venues were already booked thru November and into December of 2011!!! And I thought we were getting a good jump on things... I contacted the Hilton and found that the date we had preferred had someone penciled in, and the next available Saturday was late December. Bummed, I called and made an appointment to check out theee very nice Birch Hill in Schodak. Birch Hill was beautiful, just not exactly what we wanted, so the search for a hall continued..While at work one afternoon, I received a phone call from "Bobbi" of The Hilton, she explained that they contacted the penciled in party and they declined needing use of the Ballroom, Our date was available!!! :-) After talking it over with my family, we received the Okay to book the Hilton... Making it official, Save the Date...November, 19th 2011 <3 Mr. & Mrs. Nichols

Limo - The limo has been booked thru Royal Limousine out of Albany. They gave us a great deal on a limo that we fell in love with...Everyone will just have to wait and see which one we chose ;-)

Photographer- We are excited to announce Mark Brown will be our photographer!

*We are still in search of a Church, and DJ*

:-) We are having fun through every step of this crazy process..
I have to say, Thank you to Cath for taking charge on alot of things...we wouldn't be so ahead if it wasn't for our "Wedding Planner", with both Jimmy & I working full time it makes it difficult to get things done, Cathy has truly been a Godsend. I Love her. Special Thanks to all of the Parents for your love and support!
