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!!

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.

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...
