Oh, Weddings....This Time, It Is Mine!

So a little less than a year ago I was planning and preparing for my bff's upcoming nuptials, I was planning to take my new boyfriend, Jason with me to not be the, 'single girl.'

Who knew that the following April, I would be in her shoes...For the nitty, gritty, details of the whole thing, we made a wedding website.





The place it all started, Jack Beagles.
Now it is all about engagement photos, welcome bags, bridesmaids gifts....the list goes on and on.We met at work, we even told our story for AOL about how our romance blossomed at the workplace but managed to keep it (mostly) hidden from our bosses until he proposed in St. John, while on vacation. After that, there was no hiding this thing!

The Bling
Work took it well and the friends jumped in to help plan the wedding of the year. Whew...I had no clue a 'simple, easy wedding' could be so much work. I know it will be worth it, when it is all said and done but as for right now, I'm thinking we should have done Vegas. (I think I'll change my mind when I pick up my dress, Friday.)

Vlad is over the wedding, too.
Jason and I are just easy. I of course have nervous jitters about the concept of calling him, "my husband." I am not worried about how we'll make it. It is like we've both spent our whole lives to be prepared to be married to each other. He is my other half. Even the dog is annoyed with our love story.

My sister and are perfecting our crafting skills. Pinterest is my new best friend. We spent a few hours this week (mostly going back to Michael's for more supplies) making the decorations for the church pews.





Our pew decorations.
Seriously, in addition to Pinterest, Etsy is the other greatest invention on the interwebs. I've used them for the majority of my gifts for the parents and wedding party. Find it on Pinterest, buy it on Etsy. Unless, you have an amazing sister that can help you do it yourselves.

This weekend, we are making the wedding signs. Wish us luck.
