Hey Ladies!
I got engaged in February after a two year "courtship".
We set a date, we invited our friends to participate in the wedding, but, I must admit, it didn't feel real until we booked our venue. Woo hoo!

We were full steam ahead,booking our Venue, Honeymoon, DJ, photographer, officiant, caterer, ordered our cake, had our engagement photos taken for save the date, bridesmaids have dresses and shoes, I have my dress and veil. I have a make-up artist and hair dresser lined up. I even have a hair dresser for my horse Sasparilla, who I'll be riding in my wedding.

Our wedding is June 6,2020.
We have accomplished alot,but for the moment we are at a standstill due to some unexpected life events.

My Daddy has been diagnosed with Dementia. It's a tough journey to take with a loved one. I truly hope he can stand up with me at my wedding.

I'm also approaching the second anniversary of my Mama's death on the 4th of August.

I'm in need of a happy distraction to cheer me up and get my wedding mojo back.

All of you newly engaged brides, I'd love to see pictures of your dresses, veils, rings, flower ideas, shoes,engagement pictures etc.
Feel free to share it all! I'd truly love to see themSmiley smile

I'm sharing pictures of my dress again and my horse, because I love them bothSmiley smile
Thanks in advance!
Happy planning to all.🌹🌷🌸💐🙋

    Omg! I loved most of the "no" dresses. The first two were very interesting!
    But, they were not you. I love your dress for sureSmiley smile
    Your ugly cry is nicer than mine! That's why I have the white dot on my face lol.
    I truly hope I don't cry at the wedding😱

    Thank you so much!! I have caught myself many times wanting to put it on. Thankfully it's at my FMiL house so I can't. April is definitely a special month! The nest thing about next year as well as our wedding, my birthday falls on Mother's day next year. So I'll officially be (bonus) mom. Even though the younger 2 already see me that way.

    Yeah of course, and I’m sorry for your loss. I’m really thankful for my grandmother being here with me, I’m 19 so I’m praying that we still have many years to share and enjoy!

    So sorry to hear about your dad. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts. I also love your horse. What a cutie! We just visited Hershey Gardens two weeks ago and decided that we will get married there, it just depends on when. Hershey was our first weekend away, so it has special meaning for us. Our ceremony will be in the Oak Grove. In the pics, Jeremy is standing just outside of the Grove. It'll be gorgeous with fall foliage in mid-late October. They have a butterfly exhibit that we'll keep open during the reception. While visiting, one of the butterflies landed on me. The conservatory will house the reception with great views of the theme park across the street.

    Girl, I hear you on the ring! I chose to forgo the diamond for the near future because diamonds are so expensive! I don't begrudge any woman her diamond, but for me, personally, I'm in love with my fiance and my morganite ring. The Knot surveyed 14,000 couples and the average cost of an engagement ring the couples purchased in 2018 was over $5,000. We could wait and save up, but for me, it's more important to be married to my best friend and life partner sooner. If I eventually get a diamond, great, but if not, I'm already happy.

    We're planning to save up for a diamond ring for an anniversary, kind of as a "wow look at that, we actually made it this far." xD I love him to death and I wouldn't want him any other way, but we're both kinda hard to deal with sometimes lol.

    Thank you so much! She is a big cuddle bug at times. I was nervous bringing her home thinking it might take a few weeks for her to acclimate. Nope she was getting pretty comfortable her fist night here. My fiance is a dog person, but says he has converted. I still love dogs too but she is one cool kitty.
