The wedding

On June 16th B and I got married. It wasso much fun. The morning started out with my bridesmaids meeting at my parents house to have makeup and hair done. Duri g that time we got to just hang out and talk. Then MJ my niece came she was the flower girl. She had theses magnetic dolls in which myself and bridesmaids had a great time playing with. It was so funny. Then after makeup and hair we headed to the church to get ready. Then the house party showed up and we took pictures. Then it was time to go back to the brides room to get ready for the ceremony. The minister came I. And we prayed with her and then went to the sanctuary and everything we had planned for months had started. Finally it was my turn to walk in. It was very unreal. All I remember is walking towards B and seeing only him. Then we went through the important part of the ceremony. After we were presented we walked out and did some more pictures as everyone was making their way to the reception. Then we met up with the rest of the wedding party to do more photos and last some of the two of us. I can't wait to see the pictures once they are ready. Myarents drove us to the reception where b, myself, my parents and his parents all had some food before entering the reception. I am so glad we got some food because we would not have gotten to eat otherwise. After we were announced we had our first dance. It was fun but it seemed like the longest dance ever and we had the short version of the song. Then I danced with my dad and then b dances with his mom. Next we took more pictures with friends and family. Next thing I knew it was time to cut the cake. As we cut the cake the photographer said ok try the cake and so I almost put it in my mouth before he was like no give it to B. so that was funny. Then we had the grooms cake. Which was a huge hit. It was a giant dickey's yellow cup. Which is B's favorite BBQ places. Next we just talked with friends and family and did one last dance with everyone. Then it was time to make our exit. We had everyone blow fun bride and groom bubbles at us with a bubble machine. Then we were off. This was so much fun and can't wait to see the photos and video do the wedding. Itwas a very unreal feeling to thing wow we are married. More to come on our trip and pics later.

10 days

Well we are now at the ten day make until the wedding. I have been given lots of advise from everyone about taking time to enjoy the now. I am trying my best to take things one day at a time and enjoy life before things change. I am excited about this big change in marrying my best friend and can't wait for this new chapter in life and all that it brings. Tuesday, we went down to get our marriage license. We both realized that was the first time either of us had seen one. Also, last Friday we picked up our wedding rings. I feel that these two things make everything seem that much more real and closer. So here is to enjoying the next few days and taking everything in. My next blog post will most likely be after the wedding. Looking forward to continuing to sharing my life so far with all my readers.

18 days....

We are now to the count down until the wedding. From the title you can tell that we have 18 days to go. Pretty much everything is finished by now. We are down to the little things like planning the ceremony which we will do on Friday, and getting our marriage license which we will do on Monday. Then, I plan to just enjoy the time as it flies by.

A little less that one month.....

Well, I have not updated in a while and thought that today would be the day to update the blog. If you could not tell from the title of the blog, in a little less than one moth.... 25 days to be exact..... B and I will be married. I can not believe how fast this past year has gone. We are both looking forward to continue to make fun memories together as a married couple. I feel like the month of May just started and now we are almost to the end of it.

We have had one wedding shower back in December, and two couples party. We have one more wedding shower left and then we will be gearing up for the big weekend. We are finishing up all the loose ends such as ordering the wedding favors, meeting with the minister one last time and getting the marriage license itself.... So, still a few things left but I am ready for everything to be here and just to enjoy the day. So, there it is our update.

Parties, parties and more parties

Last Saturday, we had our first engagement party. It was at a local Mexican food restaurant. We had such a great time catching up with friends and family and celebrating our engagement with them. It made this whole thing feel more real. Also, we sent out our wedding invitations and on Saturday got our very first response. Since then we have gotten more responses and I am sure more wedding gifts. I can not believe we will be married in a little less that two months.

Wedding info and other thoughts

Today is the junior garden clubs annual flower show. As a new member I had to submit something. Lucky I had a lot of help and everything inset up and ready to go. Now this afternoon I will be able to go and look at all the entries. Also, next week I am moving back in with my parents and then May 7 I have my final exam for my class due. I have two papers to write. Also Saturday the 14th is a good friends wedding. More to come on that. In wedding news I had my final dress fitting and am all ready for my portrait that is on Monday. monsday also marks the 2 month mark until the wedding. We also learned yesterday tht our minister for our wedding is leaving immediately from the churchnbecause of health issues. So now with 8 weeks Togo we are picking a new minister for the wedding. Keep your fingers crossed that this person will beagle to do the ceremony. If not then back to the drawing board.

3 months to go

As of yesterday, March 16th we are now at the three month mark until the wedding! I can not believe that in just a short three months we will be married! So many things to do between now and then which include taking the bridal portrait, tasting food for the wedding, figuring out how we want the flowers and room to look at the reception, plan the wedding ceremony with the minister, and a few parties between now and then. So the next few months will be the busiest by far. Looking forward to it though.

wedding frustrations!!!!

I am trying to work out the schedule to do my wedding portrait. It has been crazy around here, between that and packing things to move. I have a feeling these next three months will be full of crazy stuff! I know in the end all of these little things will work them selves out and all will be fine. Looking forward to being married.

Flowers, Flowers and more Flowers....

Yesterday, my Mom and I met with our wedding coordinator, and Junior to work on the wedding flowers. We reviewed what we had talked about at our last meeting and made some adjustments to that for the ceremony. Then, we started working on the flowers for the reception. we looked at a recent floor plan of anther wedding at DCC and then started thinking how we wanted things to look with the floor plan. So, I feel we are making great strides as the wedding gets closer.

More wedding info

Today my Mom and I went to add more stuff to some registry. I think we are now finished with that at least for now. But, can always add/ delete to it. Tomorrow we are meeting with the flower people for the wedding tomorrow. So things are coming together slowly. Also, the invitations came in last week. So exciting

Wedding update

As of today, we are 99 days and counting until the big day! I can not believe that we are already in double digits! So many things to do between now and then. AHHHHH....

Wedding post update

Next week we are meeting with the flower person again to discuss flowers for the reception. At our last appointment we nailed down the wedding flowers. Also, we put a deposit in for the cakes :) Things are coming along with almost 3 months to go to the big day.

Wedding update

Last Tuesday we saw a second cake baker and got to do my favorite thing of trying cake! It was so good! I think we have decided on a baker and just have to go back again. Also, we got the save the dates and have sent them out which makes the whole process that more real and closer each day. The invitations have been ordered and so has the wedding book. So many fun things to come. We are meeting with the flower guy and a few other things upcoming.

Wedding planning update

Wedding planning is going well and we have met with the florist and got down the flowers for the wedding and are working on the flowers for the reception. Also, we have ordered the save the dates and the invitations. Which is so exciting. I am sure once they all get in everything will really take off fast. Also, my Mom and I ordered the wedding book too.  Everything is coming together. I can not believe that January has flown by and we are in February already.

More wedding planning

Well, over here we are in wedding planning mode with about 5 months to the big day there are a lot of things to do. Yesterday, my Mom and I met with the flower people. It was a good meeting and a lot of little choices to be made. I think we made good strides and have many more strides to go, but it was a good first meeting. I enjoyed it because the person talking with us had his computer wired to his TV so we could see what the pictures he was showing us of different flower ideas looked like. Also, I picked out a videographer which was great and just need to get that deposit in. So, I think we are down to the smaller choices now. Also, B and I are meeting with the minister that will marry us next week. I am excited about that!

wedding planning

Well, the wedding planning is back in full swing. Last week, we went and looked at invitations, and got save-the-date ideas. Also, we are looking at wedding books, videographers, and flowers. We are down to small decisions, and also I have worked on registering for the wedding. It is a work in progress, but coming along. We also have looked into the food and cake part. Also, my maid of honor texted me saying that she had a destination for the bachelorette party. I am looking forward to all of this and trying to not stress out too much.

Happy 2012

2012 has gotten off to a great start. I got into grad school and will be taking one class starting in January. This will be an exciting start to the new year. Also, B and I will be getting married in June, which will be here before we know it. So, from January until June will be very busy around here with wedding planning in full force, grad school class into the mix, wedding parties and weddings for friends. All and all I think it is going to be an amazing year.

Wedding shower

On Saturday December 17th I had my first wedding shower. It was so much fun! It was held at Neiman Marcus at Northpark Mall. The theme was an ornament shower. The idea came from my aunt. She said that my cousin had this shower when she got married and loved it. The shower was so much fun. It was great to see my friends, my Mom's friend's and B's Mom's friends as well. The lunch was so good and one of my favorites. We had the pop over bread which I LOVE with the strawberry butter and little cup of soup. Then we had the chicken salad yum and cup cakes for dessert.

I have just started to open all of the ornaments that we got and Love them all. They are all so special. I am looking forward to having them on our tree next Christmas. I am saving some of the ornaments to open with Ben and doing the rest with my Mom. The first shower was so much fun and made everything feel more real with the engagement. I am looking forward to the other parties and celebrations before the big day, which will be here before I know it!
