THE Wedding Dress!

There has been a lot of drama surrounding this wedding and funny enough it hasn’t even been caused by Nathan and me it’s everyone else’s dissatisfaction with how we want our wedding. Mostly it’s over a lot of assumption about our wedding plans. Of course no one decided to ask us what the deal was so they have their selves in a frenzy over what they ASSUME is going on. Don’t you just hate that?? I’m so annoyed by this whole situation but I’m going to just let it go and let people think and feel what they want.  We are going to enjoy this time the way we should be!

Moving on…..

 So at my first dress appointment I thought I had found THE dress. I really wanted to try and make Nathans mom feel a part of the whole thing so since she couldn’t come to that appointment I made a whole new appointment to ensure she could come. I tried on a few of my favorites from the first appointment and of course tried on a few more. Long story short I found a completely different dress that I LOVE and it suits my personality more than the understated dress from the first batch. I was going to get two dresses one for the wedding which I wanted simple and modest to match the farm. The second dress was going to fit my personality. Then I found THE dress and it’s just perfect. I love it enough to wear it at both occasions.  I would have been happy wearing sweats at the wedding but Nathan wanted me in a wedding dress so I decided to just wear it at both occasions.  I think there were a couple dresses that the moms liked more than the one I picked but I’m not easily influenced so I went with my favorite. Of course I’m not going to post pictures but I will after the wedding. I want to add some beading and feathers to the dress to suit my personal style, so I would rather the finished product to be featured.
This week I will be getting all the supplies to make the boutonnieres, bouquet, my “bird cage” head piece and the feathered, blinged out broach that will be added to my dress. I decided to hand paint Jazlynns old dress shoes instead of buy new ones and then I still need to buy the boys shoes. Thanks to my couponing ways I was able to get Jazlynns $55 dress down to $4 and the boy’s $26 ea. Three piece outfits down to $12 ea.
Despite all the bickering it’s going along smoothly on our part. I can’t speak of everyone else their kind of making it hard on themselves!
