This is all about my journey to (finally) becoming a wife to my fiancée (whom I'll refer to as Mr. H). This isn't about winning awards or being recognized as a "must read blog". It's to keep my out of towners, family, besties and everyone else in the loop, being able to share in the happiness (and stress) of planning a wedding, to document the process so that I can remember it clearly later on, and hopefully helping some other brides-to-be along the way.

I'm in Love with a GOWN!!!

So I'm sure that most brides have a dress that is the one they envision themselves getting married in before they actually get to go dress shopping...
Well, I'm got one. Here's a few dresses that are similar styles to mine:








I don't want to show the actual dress just in case it does work out for me.

It all started out when I was doing internet browsing and I saw it and thought, oh, that's pretty. 
Then my mom and I went shopping for my dress for my cousin's wedding and I peeked at the dress "to see the material" and see what I thought, wow, that;s one pretty dress.

Then LAST weekend, I went to picked up my blue dress for the cousin's wedding and there was another bride trying it one and my mom asks it it's the dress. I turned looked and FELL IN LOVE!!! It's prefect in some many ways. It's got lace, it's got sparkles, it's got everything I want. Now I don't want to get my hopes up in case it doesn't work out but I WANT IT TO BE THE ONE AND ONLY!!!


So, my question to all you other brides/fiancées is: How many of you ACTUALLY bought the dress that all along had been the one??

Love In All Forms

Today, we're gonna not talk about my wedding for a moment, but we are gonna talk about LOVE....

Today my parents celebrate their wedding anniversary... Thirty-one years .... I hope that one day I will have a child whose parents will have been married that long... *Wink* *Wink*



I love my parents and as adult, I realized through them that no marriage is perfect, but whatever you put into it, you'll hopefully get out of it... Love is easy, it's everything else that makes life hard.... 
They have made me the women that I am and I'm happy for both of them.....
Aren't they just adorable?!?! And such a 1980's wedding, huh??

If it's my parent's wedding anniversary, then that means that in exactly one month, is my and Mr. H's anniversary. We will have been together ELEVEN years. And we still have almost 14 months until our wedding...

I can honestly say that it's been a wonderful and almost perfect eleven years with him. I cannot wait until the day that I get to call him my husband. He is my rock when I need it, but is silly when I need a laugh. He is my best friend, but my best critic all in the same moment. He is my other half and I feel complete because of him. I hope that everyone gets to experience what we have and cannot wait to see where the rest of our journey takes us....

I love this quote and it will actually be on a sign some where in the wedding decorations, actually. I couldn't talk about love and NOT include this quote. 


All  in all, love is in the air..... Royal weddings..... Which is funny cause I already had a lace dress picked out to try on, but it looks different than Kate's, but hope that "trend" doesn't take out, cause I don't wanna seem like a copy cat.... 


Does anyone else just have days where love is all around and you just want to spread the joy for everyone else to experience with you??
