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!!

Tasty cakes

One week left!! Its so freakin close...ahh...
Today the fiance and I did our cake tasting, too bad we were too sick to really enjoy any of the delicious cake. Last night we had Popeyes because we like to indulge ourselves and we woke up today feeling sooo bad...I literally took a small piece of each cake and dipped my fork in each frosting gingerly. I'm a big cake eater so you know that was hard for me. But I was so afraid of eating anything since my stomach was still...not well...lol. But the fiance and I make a great team; we picked our flavors and cake design super fast! Our cake is super simple; it is covered in ivory frosting with purple beading around each layer and purples roses scattered around the layers as well. It is also covered with curlicues on each layer; it is a very traditional looking cake and my fiance picked it out. I was so excited that he had an opinion on our wedding cake. Here are some cakes that I think are nice;






Then we met up with the limo company and booked our limo. Now we just have to work out the logistics of everything since we are only having one limo. Tis the woes of having your ceremony and reception at two different venues...
Tomorrow we meet with the reception manager and finalize all the other details...like discuss how we went over our 200 people reception...sigh...
Monday is shopping today for all the stuff I have been putting off...so we'll see about that.
On another note...
I have always wanted false eyelashes for my wedding day...my make up artist doesn't know how to do it...Any tips or suggestions?

99 Problems...


Just kidding, I am not having 99 problems...lol...the wedding is in 11 days and my to do list keeps getting Longer!! Its almost funny how many things I have left to do...
Saturday we have our cake tasting with the baker...I'm almost embarrassed by how much I have procrastinated on getting the cake...
I still have to buy the aisle runner, a garter...where can one find a garter from? I don't want to buy one online just in case it takes forever to arrive...Any suggestions would be appreciated
I lost my ring bearer like last week...I'm not upset because there way too many things on my mind right now...
We're meeting with a new photographer today because the one we originally hired has poison ivy and lately has not been returning our phone calls. The wedding is just too close for someone to flake out. I'm disappointed because I was really excited about working with her but...no more drama
I have to get the final guest list from my parents today so that I can start the seating chart. I've already gotten requests from people on where THEY would like to sit...Has anyone else experienced this? I thought that was so funny...
Our wedding bands are getting engraved and can I say how much I love my band!!! I can't wait for him to slip it on my finger....WhoHOOO!
On a more serious tip, we had our premarital counseling with our officiant and it was a real eye opener. We were very open and honest about wanting a good solid marriage and being nervous. Marriage is a HUGE step and its okay to be nervous; its not like a lease that you can get out of in a specific time frame. I thought the premarital counseling was very helpful and I recommend all couples to participate; even if you are already married. Sometimes we need a different perspective from someone who is not in the situation.
