Just a few thoughts from a simple girl as I try to plan a wedding amidst the craziness of my life...

About Me

I am 25 year old getting ready for our nuptials on May 01, 2010. I am currently a graduate student majoring in Occupational Therapy. I love to write and I love weddings (well I used to). I thought it would be a great way to blend a few of my loves into a blog. Sit back and enjoy while I attempt to juggle planning a wedding on a budget while doing schoolwork. So let the madness begin!!

Busy Little Wedding Bee!

My mom was in the hospital so I came home to NY to put my OT skills to work and spend some time with her. My family has finally caught up and now all everybody wants to talk about is the upcoming wedding. Mind you, I have been talking about the wedding with my friends and other people for a while now. Since I'm not in rotations right now, I have some free time to do "wedding stuff". I've been online looking up stuff for what seems like forever.
Keep your fingers crossed but I may have found my videographer on craigslist. His quote is really inexpensive but fits right into my budget. So we'll see how that goes. His videos were not perfect but I'm sure I can provide him with constructive criticism. My main concern is the photographer, I love pictures and want mine to look amazing...I stumbled across this site Kiss the Groom. The pictures are amazing, I am really impressed.
I also found this site called Egala and it features real couples and their weddings. I am all about real life weddings!
I am meeting with the church where we are having ouir ceremony on Friday. Our date is open and its a beautiful church. Hopefully all goes well! My father and I have not sat down to talk about my wedding but I have discussed it at length with my mother. I'm not scared anymore so I am welcoming the conversation. I know this blog is about not being a bridezilla, but in his case I have to be one to get what I want.

Not sure if you all knew but I am having a Nigerian-Haitian wedding. I saw my first Nigerian wedding last weekend and it was a lot of fun! I got to wear a traditional outfit and everything! So we are in the process of trying to incorporating both cultures into one seamless, elegant, and fun wedding!
