Shower #1

Yesterday We had our shower at my home church!

I may be biased, but I have to say JRP and I had the best shower ever and the most wonderful hostesses ever!!!

I feel so wonderfully blessed to have such an amazing church family! I don't know what I would do without them! Thank you to everyone who came!

Here are a few pictures from the shower....


Here are our wonderful and amazing hostesses!!!


Heres the beautiful table they made!! They made everything black and white!! It was so awesome! and My mom made the amazing cake!! I love it so much!!! You can see it better on her blog.






My daddy and one of my best friends Trey even came to the shower! It was awesome!!

I'm sad my sister couldn't be there, but she sent me a sweet note that made it kind of ok!

Thank you to everyone! We are so excited about putting all our new stuff in it's new home very soon!!!

P.S. Sorry about the blurry pictures, my mom needs a new camera.

Bridal Portraits

So I have come to find out you can not make white roses whiter.

So I gave up and my mother made me this wonderful bouquet out of the "white" roses.

I really love it! I no longer care about them being white white they are pretty either way!! The Lace on the handle is from my mom's wedding dress, but you can't really see it in this picture. That made it even more special!

Speaking of my mother, She deserves a medal or something for putting up with all the crap I have given her and probably will give her!!! Sorry Mommy You are the best I love you so much!!!! I am very lucky to have such an amazing and wonderful mother! And also, very lucky she hasn't killed me yet!!!

I had a lot of bridezilla moments before my pictures. Here's the run down.

Thursday the nail place SCREWED up my nails and then put baby oil on my head after they waxed my eyebrows the baby oil caused my face of course to break out so that was lovely to wake up to on the day you are taking pictures!!

Then Friday the bare minerals lady put purple eyeshadow on me. I hate purple. HATE IT! Luckily it didn't look purple in the pictures!

Then I got my hair done by the wonderful Marlie! I wasn't sure about the front of it at first, but then the second I saw the first picture I loved it! And the back was AMAZING! She's awesome!! And she fixed my makeup! She's a lifesaver!

Then I ran, threw on my dress and started taking pictures with our wonderful photographer Mandy! It was so much fun and such a great time! It made everything that happened thursday and the morning melt away.

I think it was the first time I really realized that I was a bride.

Good thing I figured that out 3 weeks before the wedding!!

Bridezilla moment

Last night, I went the store to buy white roses for my bouquet. This is all i could find.....



Do these look white to you? if you said yes you are wrong. These are ivory I would even go as far as yellow they are not white.

I want white roses.

My colors are black and WHITE with touches of red.

Not ivory, not off white, not eggshell....

WHITE WHITE!!!

It may make me a snob, but I just can't handle ivory roses with my white dress and feathers.

This will not do so I decided I had to take action.



I am in the process of trying to dye, bleach, baking soda, and I might even restore to spray painting this dumb roses!!!

Hopefully they will be white white when i get home other wise I guess I will be buying silk roses which I do NOT want to do!!!

Craft Success

I Finally did it!! I succeed at making crafts for our wedding!!!!


I made my garters. If you are wondering what the green is about its because It's JRP's favorite color so I'm trying to put somewhere in our wedding.


I made these cake plates out of candle sticks plates, and spray paint. I have a few more to make.


I made a chalk board sign for the cake table or somewhere in the wedding we'll figure that out later.


I made a chalkboard sign for my mom which I might write something else and use it in the wedding too.

THE DRESS!!!!

I picked up THE DRESS on Friday!!!! And it fit perfectly!! I was so excited.....Of course I'm not going to show you a picture of the dress, but here's a picture of my face when I tried it on for the first time!



This is my "I can't believe I'm standing in my wedding dress, I can't believe it fits perfectly, and I can't believe I'm getting married in less than a month!!!" look!

I'm so excited to marry my best friend and move out of my crazy house!!!

Cheating

Registries are cheating.

Period.

End of discussion.

And I absolutely LOVE it!

It's like opening your presents before Christmas and then rewrapping so your mom doesn't know. (Which my sister and I did every year, sorry mom)

I can't get enough of them.

They are so much fun.

I am constantly looking at them and updating them trying to get them just perfect.

Registries are awesome.

Getting Married is awesome.

JRP is awesome.

Period.

End of discussion.

Just thought you all should know how I feel.

Also if you have an idea for a new name for my blog after I get married, Let me know!! I'll do a poll soon!

Ready, Set, 1 Month!

1 MONTH till I marry the most wonderful man!! I still can't believe he picked me! :)

The knot didn't remind me today...Fail Knot, Fail!

Here's what I did yesterday....

Made my hair clip. I love it! It's exactly what I wanted, but all the ones that i found that looked like this were $100 or more, but I now know why because it took FOREVER to make. Totally worth it!
