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 Bride to Be!!

Hello all,
I feel like my life has been on crazy nonstop rollercoaster for the past month. So many updates to speak of...my wedding is right around the corner, AHHH!...
March 13th was my bridal shower in NY and it was a fabulous time. The weather was dismal, but most of my friends and family were able to come out. Here are a few pics of mostly me ( I don't like to put other people's faces on the internet w/o permission). The theme was Mardi Gras and I got a mask and lots of beads! My sister made the banner, isn't it soo nice? My cousin gave me that book The Five Love Languages By Gary Chapman. I read the singles version in college and I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to form intimate relationships.

April 10th was my bachelorette party thrown by my bestest friend and one of my Maids of Honor. It consisted of my most closest friends and it was amazing! I've imagined my b-party and it exceeded all imagination. There was food, laughter, dancing...it was a crazy night. They forced me to wear a tiara thing and I got approached by all types of people. This is the part of wedding planning that I enjoy! The penis shaped cookies were my favorite because they were delicious!




Yesterday my FH and I picked out our rings and got them engraved. All invitations were sent out, I put in the order for my flowers (I decided to go silk), I had my make-up trial during the week and my hair trial is next week.
I went on my dress fitting and the seamstress told me that I had gained weight BUT my dress still fit, it was just tighter (which I wanted). Of course I can't GAIN anymore weight so I have been back on my exercise regimen. My shoes were purchased, my jewelry picked out, hotel room booked, tuxes ordered...everything is finally coming together. Thank God!
Until next time...

Purple Bridal Shower

I was browsing Theknot.com and stumbled across this purple bridal shower theme. As you all know, I love all things purple and was super excited to share this with you all. So my ladies in waiting, get out your pen and paper and get ready!!! lol...just kidding.... I think my favorite picture is the purple ice cubes in the martini. I can't wait to create my special drink!! The second picture is the bride's chair, it looks like a dress! I like overall decor of the bridal shower, its super cute and super purple-ly!
