Counting Down

Only 2 weeks till the big day. It’s coming fast but I’m ready to get it done. All the planning and drama has taken a toll on Bobby and I. No matter how many weddings you’ve attended or participated in, (I’ve had more than my share), you don’t truly understand the work and stress behind it until you’re planning your own. I’m sure compared to others, our experience might be minor but nonetheless one we’d like to put behind and enjoy our wedding day.

I went for my final fitting last night. It was exciting. Trying on my dress made it even more real knowing that next time I put it on it will be our wedding day. The adjustments were perfect so I just pray; I don’t lose any weight in the next couple weeks.

Though, I only have small things to complete I keep feeling like there’s so much to do in so little time. From programs to music and decoration details, it all adds up especially when juggling work and normal daily tasks. All I can do is just breathe and keep going.

My Bridal Shower



I had my bridal shower last weekend and what a beautiful day it was. I was lured to the location by one of my friends telling me, a couple months before, about a bridal expo she’d received an invite for. She added that they would have WE TV there for a bridezilla shoot and even put together a disclaimer form. A few other brides-to-be from work were also in on it by agreeing to respond to the email that went out as to whether or not they’d attend. I admit it was a good idea but, with my busy calendar, I’m booked every weekend except two so I knew the shower would have to be one of those days.


Though I wasn’t totally surprised it was exciting and great to see my family and friends that attended to show their love and support. The shower location was nice with a great view of the lake it’s set off from. The food was good and I received many of beautiful gifts. Also can’t forget the toilet paper gown game. We got to see everyone’s creative side and a few laughs at the same time. It was a small dose of what to expect on the wedding day – can’t wait.



Talk to you soon.
