I now have a veil & tiara, weeeeeeeeee!!! I found them through Craiglist. $50 for both of them. They probably would have cost about $300 new. The tiara is gorgeous. I'm still trying to figure out the veil. Um, I'm a little ... inexperienced.

Sooooooooooo Excited!!!
Tonight my fiance and I fell in love with a house we want to rent. Nothing is even near official yet so I need to keep quiet about it. But I loved it soooooo much that I want to be able to show excitement about it!!
The house is so nice! Hardwood floors, flex space, large living room, basement space, cute kitchen, appliances included (including a dishwasher!!), 2 big bedrooms, nice backyard, back deck, front sun porch... It's in great shape and in a nice neighborhood! I love it. We both love it.
Our friends live there and are looking to sell or rent it. Tonight we had dinner together and watched a movie, visited, and played Mario Kart. On the way home I was telling my fiance, "The longer we sat there and watched the movie..." and he completed the sentence with me, "the more it felt like our home." :)
I can't wait to make it official. We just need to work on a price we can all agree on.

Serious Business
It's starting to become more official, more real in my head.
Not only do I have a dress, we now also have a photographer (well, 2 actually), a dj, and a photobooth!
We have a church on hold for the ceremony and one on hold for the reception. I still need to take the necessary steps to make those official!
We are still looking for a bridesmaid dress we both like. I feel like I live at David's Bridal lately.
We REALLY need to send our our Save-the-Dates.
Tonight the plan is to start up a bridal registry!

Is It Normal?
- Is it normal to feel ill after eating every meal?
- Is it normal to have wedding stuff on my brain constantly?
- Is it normal to have my right eye twitch?

Priorities
I am overwhelmed. There's so much to do, and I am having a hard time prioritizing it! First things first: we have an engagement party this Friday!
We need to go over the menu, pick up ingredients and start preparing food. I'm baking the cupcakes!

Money, Money, Money
I can't believe how quickly everything adds up!!! We are wedding planning on a budget, and it's not easy!
We are going the cheap route and still struggling. The money we have to work with is quickly disappearing.

The morning ring
I am NOT a morning person. I hate to hear my alarm ringing in the morning. However, it's been different for the last couple weeks. Every time I wake up, I notice the ring on my finger.
And, guess what, I love it!
I just feel it there, and I look at it and can't help but smile.
Zone Out
I worked late tonight. I've also been working on the wedding a LOT. It pretty much consumes my thoughts - especially when I should be sleeping.
I'm hoping I can get out of the wedding zone this evening. I've got other things that I've been severely neglecting since the wedding planning began.
Unfortunately, we got sad news yesterday that my fiance's grandfather passed away. So, wedding talk is kinda on the back shelf of convo's while we deal with funeral stuff for a few days. Geez, it's been a long time since I've been to a funeral. Gotta find some funeral attire.
It seems we just keep running out of days to do things; so many things need to be done. Sometimes when we're together I think, "What did we do or talk about before the wedding planning?" That's about 90% of what we talk about now.
Ok, back to zoning out. Goodbye wedding for one night. We'll see if I can do it!

- Is this dress sparkly enough?
- What do I really want??
- At least I know I want the Groom; that part's settled!
Diet
Every bride wants to lose a few pounds before the wedding. I'm no different.
So far though my diet has been pretty consistent of coffee & TUMS!

Me
30 year old bride-to-be
I've been planning my wedding for more than half my life.
Just recently got engaged and was way surprised by the proposal! I thought it wasn't coming until summer and that I would then have a year to plan it.
Now I've got 6 months to plan the wedding I've been dreaming of without going into debt for a one day event.
These are my thoughts during this exciting, yet stressful, chapter of my life.
