I found my dress!!!

Yes Yes Yes; after so many hours and days and months spent magazine shopping; i finally decided to make my way into a bridal store to go try on dresses. Yes I went there with a budget in mind, but as soon as I tried on THE dress; I really did not care h0w much it was (well maybe I did; but the price was reasonable). Sooo I found my dress and I know it is beautiful!

On saturday, I will be taking my family to my final fitting before actually purchasing the dress :-) should be fun!

bridesmaids

Yay! after so long a letter and soo much uphills and downhills and molehills and wutever hills; i think i may have found the perfect bridesmaid dress to complement the wedding. The color is perfect. The design is non traditional. The dress is a perfect mix of classy yet fun; modern yet vintage..lol. I love it, chimdi loves it and I know my bridesmaids will love it. And if they dont... too bad.. I dont Care lol (bridezilla on the loose).

Wedding Nightmare

Soo yesterday, I was working on sending out the save the dates with one of my bridesmaids when the craziest thought flashed through my mind! For some strange reason, I started to imagine that something had gone wrong with our wedding venue, and my deposit for the date got cancelled. I was so panicked, that I proceeded to call the venue to make sure they still had me down for that date, which they did. Thank God... Lol..

As if that scare was not enough... I had the strangest dream last night. I dreamt that we forgot to book a florist for the wedding day. We did not have any flowers for the bouquets or center pieces. To crown it all, my sister hand picked flowers from where I dont know. The flowers looked so dead..it was horrible. I tried and tried to see if I could get the centerpieces and flowers last minute but everytime I tried to type flowers on my computer it would not let me ( you know how that only happens in ones dreams..waa).

Anyways I think Im stressing too much anyhoo.. ttyl..

"Bride for a day; Wife for ever"

I think it is interesting how much time and effort goes into the planning of a wedding. When it comes down to the nitty gritty all that really matters is the fact that your marriage is blessed by a pastor in front of a community of witnesses. The rest of everything that happens that day is just a ceremony not and not really necessary. Does that remove my desire to still have the ceremony... nope! I want the ceremony more than anything. However one thing that I have come to terms with is that I should devote twice the amount of time I spend planning my wedding to plan for my marriage to Chimdi.

Sometimes when I think about it; it scares me. Two different individuals with different personalities; living together for a life time. Chimdi and I are reading a book called "I married you" by Walter Trobisch. It is a very interesting read surprisingly. I will be talking about what I am learning in this book with you all while I also keep you updated about our wedding plans.

Yay! 186 days left lol

A glimpse into our shoot

I am very excited to write this post. So as you all know, I shared with you that we were going to be taking our engagement pictures this weekend. We did. It was a two day shoot with our fabulous photographer! I want to give a shout out to Kola Shobo of Kay S Jay Photography! you are really awesome! He was very attentive to us and patient. He was not worried about how much time he spent with us; all he was concerned about was that we got beautiful pictures ( i dont know if that sentence made sense but oh well). I promised to share some pictures and I will.

This picture I put up was taken by an amateur photographer ( who did an amazing job).
