Hey Ladies!
I'm about eight months out. It was smooth sailing out of the gate. We got engaged in February, and we booked most of our vendors early on.
We are making payments on the venue and honeymoon, and we have almost all of the 15k budget in our savings account.

I've run the gamut on every emotion possible! Ha ha . Super excited and now the stress has slowly started to creep into eveyday life.

I lost my Mama two years ago, I'm worried that my wedding won't be as nice, as she would have done. But, I'm forging ahead anyway.

I'm doing my own silk flowers and I can't wait to get started.
I have started dreaming about the wedding, but so far no nightmares.

I need a little happy distraction, so please let me know where you are in the process and how you are handling things.

Feel free to share anything picture wise, I'd love to see them❤

For the brides that have gone before me, thanks for the inspiration. For the newly engaged , and brides after me...hang in there! We can do this!😘

    Wow! Three and a half weeks! I'm unsure how I'll make it there!
    You sound calm, cool, collected and organized!
    Great job!
    I'm so glad that you are getting your happy ending, from that meeting long ago.
    We have a similar story, and fate has a way of making things come true!
    All in God's timing.
    Enjoy every moment! Can't wait to see your pictures❤
    Congratulations!!!

    9 days away for us! We just need to reprint 4 8x10 signs, prepay for our rehearsal lunch, make the favors, finalize the wedding party gifts, and pack!! We are so close!! After being engaged 2.5 years we are almost there!! Enjoy as much as you can! It got rough there earlier this week (pms and wedding stress turned me into a bridezilla monster for 2 days) so be gentle! Lol

    Hey Debbie!
    Thank you for sharing. It really means alot to me and it helps to get it out.
    This week, for some reason, I've missed my Mama too. I guess we have them on our minds during the planning and we wish we had their guidance on earth, we definitely have it from Heaven.

    I see signs from her all the time! Do you? They say if you dream of a loved one, and remember it upon waking...it was a visit from Heaven❤

    You have alot on your plate! But, I have complete faith in you!
    I'm proud of you! Don't give up.
    I'm here if you ever need to chat. I sincerely mean that!

    You will be a lovely bride and your Mom will have a front row seat in Heaven. I truly believe it❤
    Hang in there😘

    I totally understand! I focus on the big picture and stress myself out.
    Just do one thing at a time, ask for help if you need it.

    It will get done! It will be the wedding of your dreams❤
    Happy wedding Eve!
    Hugs to you! You've got this!

    We're down to 6 months and 5 days! Super excited! I honestly thought we still had like 8 months so this was fun to look up lol We've been doing pretty good with everything so far. Both of us have previously been married so we wanted to plan a wedding where we didn't have to do anything. The 1st (and only) venue we looked at was perfect. We're having the ceremony and reception there. It includes the food, cake, table and chair set up, linens, silverware, music, dj, lighting, and clean up. Anything else we need, they have options for us to chose from-such as decorations and alcohol. It's so easy and beautiful

    Recently I've ordered my invitations, bought my shoes, gotten my tiara as a gift from my fiancé, and picked out my jewelry. Not to mention my bridal party is getting excited and started ordering their dresses! So I'm getting excited about it Smiley smile

    Hey Renee!
    That's great! You have every right to be excited!
    It's a wonderful thing!
    Sounds like you are super organized and ready!

    I was ahead of the game, life got in the way, and I have to get focused and get our save the dates out soon.

    And all of the wedding workouts I promised myself I'd start... I need to hop to! Ha ha
    Congratulations!
    So excited for you!❤
