So....
Bought my first item for the wedding today...no it wasn't my dress but it was something that needed to be bought so can get started on those little DIY bits and bobs for the big day.
I was itching to buy something, anything just so I know that weddings plans are going OK because it's gotten a bit slow.
I'm not worried, though I'm worried that I'm not worried...does that even make sense?
We've entered the realm of 6 months and some weeks till the big day now and I'm more feeling the pressure regarding getting into shape...I must say, I saw myself in the mirror and I was looking pretty hawt if I do say myself :) but still working on this whole looking good naked cos I tell you, clothes hide a multitude of sins...as Mama and Nana would say "tank God fi clothes!!"
Back to the matter at hand, I'm excited - which I should be! 2014 is going to be a year of some major changes.
Marriage
Moving
Marriage
New job
Marriage
Ministry
Marriage
Sure you can see that marriage is big on the agenda, but shouldn't it be? I'm going to be moving in with someone, changing my last name, and planning the rest of my life in conjunction with someone else, then eventually have a family - God willing...it's crazy...but in a good way. I'm definitely looking forward to it cos I'm marrying someone amazing :)
It's all coming together and all beginning to feel real.
Premarital counselling was an interesting thing to start as well. As amazing as it was, Pastor is giving us some homework - he don't play! But it's good and needed and I look forward to our next session.
Great times ahead in Jesus name :)
So next couple weeks I'll be preoccupied with my purchase (as well as everything else I still gotta do, namely essays) and need to start practicing my origami making skills [I have none so it's more like learning really - will I pick it up in time?? (>.<)!!]
So until then

Countdown to being a MRS: Wedding dresses!
So...
I'm engaged and will be 3 months on Saturday woo! and I'm well enjoying it. Had engagement party last weekend and I definitely had a good ol' time. Still smiling because of it and grateful to those who came out out and also my awesome friends and famo that worked hard that night to pull things together and not forgetting my awesome Heavenly Father for blessing me with such great people and blessing me with my handsome fiance too :)
We had a great time.
That night made it all sink in that bit more what will be taking place in under a year and all the wedding prep to and stuff...eish, big tings a gwarn!!
Been wedding dress shopping twice now. you know what? as fun and exciting as it was and is, mate!!! it was one tiring experience.
First time I went with my bestie who will be my *CBM of course. We had the day planned out to do constructive well thought out wedding dress research and of course my lovely bestie wanting to flex her CBM duty muscles organised the whole day.
Long story short, our massive hunt of 3 shops turned into one shop of exhausting proportions. Until that day I had no idea how much goes into wedding dress hunting (well I wouldn't - haven' been wedding planning before - duh!!). I was happy looking online and then thought it would be easy..I was wrong!!
2 hours and 8 dress later, I had a bit more idea of what I'd like which totally did not reflect my online choices. The dress prices were like waaay over budget as lovely as the shop was and as helpful as the assistant was and as lush as the dresses were...I couldn't justify in my head spending the same price as the reception venue on a dress...so we arranged to go again to another shop where you do not have to make an appointment. As good as that may have sounded, it did mean less dresses and more waiting...so 4 dress and 2 hours later, I'm that little bit closer to finding 'The dress'. but I have this fear that cos I'm pretty much easily pleased I may not have that sort of dress of my dreams relationship as most brides-to-be does - will I have a that's 'the dress' moment? and if I don't is that a bad thing?
It's early days yet and though my wedding planner app is telling me I should order my dress by now, it may well be bought next year...no harm in that...I got time right? :S
But yeah I'm excited and looking forward to doing and buying more wedding related things.
Until next blog...
Stay blessed
Bridey Out!!
