Way back when I was about 4 and playing with my Barbie's I ALWAYS had Barbie and Ken get married. I put the girl dolls in dresses and would do their hair (only sometimes the hair melted from the curling iron ... lol) oh, so pretty for Ken or whatever else I would name the boy doll. His name usually came from the boy down the street who I had a crush on! Then they would walk down the isle... And then Ken would kiss the bride!
*18 Years Later*
I have the Pinterest app on my smartphone absolutely loaded with headliners such as "Great Style" "See You in White" "Dream Home" "Work It" and even an "I Miss You" for when the relationship is getting kind of rocky. I might not have everything sitting in a shed somewhere or even a hope chest full of my dream decorations.... But thanks to Pinterest and my mom working at Dillard's, I'm able to at least pin every idea or put the things I just so happen to stumble upon, on hold. You never know what you might find!
Yes. I am that girl. I went out to buy a wedding dress just barely a week after my boyfriend said the word, "Wedding." Turns out it was perfect timing! I got the dress of my dreams at a price my parents could afford! Unfortunately for me... that kind of drove him away for a few minutes... But I could not let us stop there! We were planning our lives together and I was NOT about to let this one get away! A few months passed and I was able to gather quite a few things. I have the dress, the shoes, the ring bearer pillow, the flower basket, the garders, the preserving kit, our Smash Book, picture frames, and the sleeves for the dress are coming tomorrow!
I'm not so sure that Gary approves of all this girly/frilly/shiny stuff. I think he's afraid that his man-card might be shrinking... This relationship sure is a strange one! I've asked so many married (old and young) guys about what they had a say for their weddings. The music was about it. Oh, and the color of their own underwear of course. Gary actually wants a say in everything about the wedding! We picked out the rings together, we both put in our say for the colors (he likes dark blue, I like a corally pink, and my dress is champagne), we haven't had any disagreements on the venues, and we already have our brides maids and groomsmen pick out! No argues on any of these. BUT we are having the hardest time thinking of a date! I would be more than happy with an end of September-early October wedding. He, on the other hand, would like to get married 5 years down the road! 5 years!!! We agreed on a date once upon a time, March 21st. So! Seeing as he's making this monstrous sacrifice for me... That, being getting married before he is financially stable. I'm thinking I should hold off on my September-October dreams. Which I'm okay with. :)
But still! March 21st is in just over 9 months!! NINE MONTHS!!! The clock is ticking! Today I was able to find both (Katie, the flower girl and little Mercedes, the one to hold my train) the little girls dresses which are ADORABLE!!! I have found our engagement outfits for a way good price! Once again, all thanks go to my mom at Dillard's for being able to hold these items and also to Gary for the approval.
Everything is falling into place! Gary just laughs at me when I tell him all this... Ha, he says, "We're not engaged YET!!" Well, I think he may have gotten a little frustrated with me when I handed him a paper that said, "Wedding Guest List" ... Maybe that was going a little too far... But hey! This all has to get done at some point! I'm not 100% sure that he's got the ring yet... It's definitely not on my finger! But that's aside the point! We know we're going to get married and unless he wants me to freak out at the last second because nothing is ready then I highly suggest he lets me get started!
Uh-oh. Bridezilla on the loose... Yikes!
