I've kind of had a big week so far. Sunday evening really started things off with a BIG BANG. J and I went for a walk at our favorite park with Gemma, and when we sat down to rest at one of the benches, he PROPOSED!!!
Well, I said yes, of course! Then he surprised me by asking if I wanted to get married July 17th when we're down in Texas on our vacation!!! AND that he'd already talked to my family and everything about it and they are coming!!!! SO ~ I'm getting MARRIED IN 3 WEEKS!!!! Can you believe this stuff?! :o)
WOW, I have lots of stuff to get done in the next 3 weeks. Thankfully I have an ANGEL for an MIL and she's doing almost everything for me. I've found dresses for my three bridesmaids (will be fully checked off the list tonight when I pick up the last one and I get the one that I had to have shipped in the mail). I'll do a separate post about trying on wedding dresses - don't try and get a dress off the rack at David's Bridal, they must not like that cause they weren't helpful at all. MIL got a photographer, has organized with a lady she knows that does cakes, and she and the FIL got the preacher that married them to marry us as well! Awww! How cool is that? J already has everything picked out and ready to buy for he and the GMen to wear... so things are moving right along!
There is the issue of the marriage license. The state of MO only takes 20 min to get the license but the ceremony HAS to be in the state of MO. TEXAS however, takes 72 hours to get the marriage license which we don't have. So, I talked to the last at the Brazos County Courthouse today and she said we can come in that Friday before and get the license and have a judge waive the 72 hours waiting period. I asked her if there was any reason why the judge would deny the waiver and she said no...SO, we'll see. J is really stressed about the marriage license cause if that whole waiver of the 72 hour waiting period thing doesn't work out. We're going to be getting married in the courthouse here in good ol' Jackson, County. Fun. And not special in the slightest.
We like to live on the edge, people. Simple is bo-ring.
Here's a list of things I need to do. In three weeks.
*Marriage License
*Find/buy a wedding dress
*Bridal accessories (shoes, jewelry, under-goods)
*J's Ring
*My wedding band
*Cake topper
*Hair Ext (this is a maybe/possibly - damm me for cutting my long hair off 3 months ago)
*Pick music
*Hair style
*Get faux flower bouquets and boutonnieres made by someone who knows what the heck they are doing
*Make up some email invites (very quickly!!)
*Spray Tan - its a MUST
And a hundred other small things...
One thing I do have! MY BLING!!!!!!! (No comments on the wrinkly grandma hands!)
Ahhhh...so pretty :o)
