Wedding Ideas

The idea of wedding planning does not make me giddy like most girls. When I think of wedding, I think lots of stress, lots of money, and lots of fuss. Don't get me wrong, I am over the moon about getting married, but the process of getting there may cause me to rip my hair out.

Thankfully I have a good friend who loves this kind of thing to get me through it. She has shown me that wedding planning can be enjoyable. Akin, I love you more each day!

Here are a couple things I like so far:

Congrats Jess and Mark!!

Yay! My big sister got engaged last weekend, just after her birthday. I am so happy for her!

When I returned from DR, the difference in her was obvious. It is such a beautiful thing to see her happy, and she is happier than I have seen her in years. Her fiance is a great guy. The whole family loves him, and I love how supportive he is towards my sister. Plus, he is handy- my grandmother's biggest requirement, and a matter which she has questions about in regards to my choice of husband. I also love that he gives her a hard time every once is a while- some one has to! (Jess likes to joke that Mark and I are so similar, she feels like she is marrying her sister- I totally approve.)

It is sweet that I get to share the whole engagement period with her and that we both get to share the stress of wedding planning at the same time. I can't wait to give my toast at her wedding- I've been collecting material for years. hehe...
