Box Full of Wedding

I never realized how hard planning a wedding would be.  At first, I could not even start just because I did not know where to start.  The thought of it was filled in my head, giving me small anxiety attacks because I did not know where or how to start.  I had taken a break from it because it was stressing me out so much, but as the New Year rang, I decided that I need to just relax.  I am super excited to get married and I have wonderful  friends to help me.

My bff/maid of honor/lifesaver, Jessica, has been the most helpful. Back in October, she found my dream dress on Ebay.  Not only was it the dress (in my size) but it also had the veil, slip, tiara, and shoes.  It was more than half the price at the salon brand new.  So, I had to jump on it.  I would post the pic, but my wonderful fiance would look at it, and I have taken every step I can to make sure he does not.  The dress is in our closet.  That is the most challenging.  I have put this dress in there and made every effort to put it in there and so call "booby trap" it to make sure he does not take a peek.  He has done very well so far.  I'm proud.

The local craft stores have been my favorite stores over the past few months.  Hobby Lobby I feel is the best.  Almost once a month they have Wedding items 50% off.  I go in there and buy things I need for the wedding.  I am a so called 'crafty bride' I guess.  But it's fun.  I have my box full of goodies, and soon it will be more full than it is now.  

Luckily, Jess is to the rescue again, she has given me cute ideas for the reception, and is not only going to help me make them (or I should say help her) She has even taken the responsibility of making my cake.  God love her.  And she is going to hook me up with a local hair/make up stylist for the big day.  How awesome!

My sister makes flowers for weddings as a way of making extra income, she has taken the responsibility of making my flowers as well, free of charge.  And of course, I'm helping.    A trip to the local craft store once again to get the silk flowers for this occasion, and I am super excited. 

It's all starting to flow together.  Even though we are on a limited budget, I know we can still have a beautiful wedding and a reception that our guests will have a great time.
