To the Ladies

This is an ode (I dont know why I'm using that word?) to the ppl that will probably somehow by a miracle make all of this happen! My bestfriends, family, and my bridesmaids! :)

Lizzy:: My maid of honor. She is such a good maid of honor that she has actually researched the "position" I've known liz since middleschool and we've been best friends since highschool. I know she will be the saving grace in this whole wedding thing. Plus tons of fun so you know the bachelorette party will be a good one!

Rae :: I've also known Rachael since middleschool and have been bestfriends ever since. Rae is probably one of the nicest and caring people I've ever met. We've been together through a lot. And even though she lives in florida now, I get to be a part of her wedding in March, and I'm so excited she gets to be a part of mine!

Tiff:: I've known Tiff since Tony and I started dating I guess. Tonys family put her on speaker on so she could meet the new girlfriend. I think we've gotten a long quite wonderfully ever since we met. Maybe it's our similar sarcastic humor. I was also lucky enough to be a part of her wedding. I'm excited for her to get here and help me, and take some sweet pictures! I feel lucky that i'm going to have such a cool sister in law.

Abigail:: This picture Pretty much says how long I've known my sister I guess. She's a little bit older now. She'll be 13 this month! She looks so grown up in her dress too! We've always gotten a long for the most part considering a 10 year age difference. I think we're a lot alike, goofy and moody at times. lol But I hope I can be a good big sister and be there for her when she gets older and has problems.

Misty :: Misty is Tony's cousin. I got so lucky that Tony had such awesome family. They all accepted me in as their own. Misty accepts me as the princess that I am :) She's super fun and funky and all over the place! I wish she could spend more time in Ohio. Also she really loves Obama.

Ann:: Ann and I work together, and shes probably one of my first "grown up friends" haha. Having people at work definantly makes it a lot easier. She's super funny and always fun to be around. I'm glad that we had the chance to get to know each other outside of work and become better friends.

It's hard to only pick 6 because there are other people that I would have liked to been able to be in it too. But I think I have a perfect group. No one is difficult, they're always helpful and I know they all have my best interest in mind. But I just wanted everyone to know I appreciate them!

Traditional Veil ::VS. :: Birdcage Veil

In the beginning I wanted the full out veil with the Blusher covering my face and everything. But then I realized that I would walk down the aisle and my dad would lift the veil up and that would be it. So I nixed the blusher. I keep seeing these birdcage veils more and more and they are growing on me. They look great in pictures and I think are romantic in their own way. Rae is wearing one and I think it will look awesome on her. She already has that vintage 20's look to her. But I dont know if I could pull it off. I also think the dress has a lot to do with it. I didn't end up going with something as POOFY as I had originally thought. I think it might be just streamilined enough that It might work. But I guess we will have to wait until my dress comes in (april/may) to see how everything comes together.

Nothing new

I don't feel like I'm doing a very good job at this whole planning thing. I haven't really done much of anything recently. We decided on the centerpieces. Which I will post a picture later. They're simple but I think they will be nice. And save us some money. A couple of bridesmaids have purchased their dresses. I'm sure the rest will soon too. I feel like it's still so far out that there isn't much we can do right now. The main thing is booking the honeymoon and finding a photographer. So hopefully in the next month or so we can get those couple of things done. We will be taking some pictures in march for our save the dates. And will get those sent out ASAP. So look for them early april. We're going to St. Augustine, FL for Rachaels wedding. It's such a beautiful city I know we will find some awesome places to do the pictures! I am super excited for this trip. I get to be part of one of my best friends weddings, plus I get away from work and Ohio! We went last year for vacation and it was so much fun!
