A little wedding news

February 25th, 2011
One of the best days of my life!! James proposed to me and it was such a surprise! I had no idea I would be getting engaged to the man that I love! It was a great night and so romantic! I will always remember the day he proposed to me!!!!

And today I asked my little cousins to be my flower girl and escort (ring bearer)!!! They were too cute!! The ring bearer has been a ring bearer about 4 times or maybe more and soooo he wasn;t to excited haha!! But I gave him a new role as being the escort for the flower girl!!! He liked that much better!! :)

AREN'T THEY SOOOOO CUTE!!!!

I don't really have anymore news to share!! I am getting excited for my lingerie party though! Only two weeks away!! The wedding is getting so close!!!!

T- minus THREE MONTHS!!

Ok ok ok I know I forgot to post! I got super busy!! But I am posting now and there is sooo much to share!
First of all I FOUND A JOB!!!!! Yay!! Weight lifted off our shoulders. It was getting very stressful! But I got a job and I love it and now we don't have to live with my parents after the wedding ;) (no offense mom and dad)! And we also found an apartment that we both LOVE and of course I have already decorated it in my head!! So excited to move in in May and have our own home!!

Also my sister and mom made my lingerie party invitations and they are soooo adorbale!! And creative! I love them and am excited to see everyone in a couple weeks for my lingerie party! It will be fun!! :) I'll post a picture at the end of this post cause they are too cute to not post!!

We have also been working on a lot of projects for the wedding!! I can't go into too many details cause then it would ruin all the surprises on the day of the wedding!! All the girls are starting to get their dresses in and they are beautiful!! I love the color!! Soo stunning and I can't wait to see everything put together!

We also have all the tuxes picked out! We had them picked out at one shop but they ended up being way tooooo expensive so we found another shop that was a lot more reasonable! BUT James had to go back to the epensive shop and try to get his money back.......so in the process of doing this the lady thought that I had called off the wedding and apologized to James over and over and said how sorry she was!!!! But the wedding is still on and now everyone will be able to afford tuxes cause they were soooooooooo crazily expensive!!

James has also been helping me with some of the projects which has been fun and surprising haha!!

Next on the agenda....I need to make a trip to Spokane for one of my first dress fittings!!! I can not wait to see my dress......I have not seen or tried it on since JUNE!! Thats just way too long for a girl to be away from her dress :) So soon I shall reunite with it!! And I can't wait...Hopefully I still like it haha!!

And then my other bridal shower needs to be planned......bachelorette and bachelor parties need to be planned.....we need to finalize our music for the ceremony and first dances.......and a whole bunch of other stuff!!

As much as I am havig fun and loving planning....I am also ready for the day to just be here!!! I never believed girls when they were like...."I'm just ready to get to the day and have fun and then go on my honeymoon"! BUT it is sooooo true! It gets very overwhelming and stressful with all the decisions and opinions from others!! But I know it will be beautiful and I am just ready to get married, dance, have fun and then soak up some sunshine in St. Lucia!!! :)

So I think that is all the exciting news I have!!! I wish I could share more but I wan everyone to be surprised by the little deatails and unique ideas I have!!! SOOOOO after the wedding this blog will be blowing up with posts! :) Oh yeah I almost forgot!!!

THREE MONTHS TODAY!!!! I cannot believe it!! So crazy! We are almost there.....in no time it will be the week before and then the night before and I wont be able to sleep!!! :)


Oh yeah an for SuperBowl I made these awesome dessert skewers!! They are gluten and dairy free!!! I made the angel food cake the day before! The angel food cake is gluten and dairy free and was sooooo much better then normal angel food cake!! And then strawberries....and then I melted dairy free chocolate chips and drizzled it over the skewers!! SOOOOO good!! YUM!
