Well, Hello there!  I am sooo glad the craziness of the holidays is OVER!  So, now for the GREAT news!

I AM ENGAGED!!

Yup!  My bubby proposed to me on Tuesday, 1/17/2012!  We have been talking about it for a while, and I have even started some of theplanning prior to him officially popping the question, lol, but I can now officially say I am ENGAGED!!  Which is CRAZY because I really didn't think I would get married again until after ALL my kids had moved out of the house.  Shoot, I even questioned if I wanted to EVER get married again!  Last 1 was kinda CRAPPY, lol! 

Anyway, so let me just say that this whole wedding planning thing is SUPER bitter-sweet!  I LOVE looking at all the great wedding stuff, but HATE getting turned down or told that what I want is no longer available!  I mean, literally EVERYTHING has been discontinued in a matter of 2 months!  So I am starting from scratch AGAIN!   For the 3rd time :-/  Everything from the venue to the BM dresses to MY DRESS to the tuxs, flowers.... EVERYTHING!!  And the REAL stressful part is I only have till APRIL 21st!!!  SO I am on a 3 month countdown!  UGH!  Let me just say that I have been SUPER disappointed in the way my friends and fam have handled this :(  I expected like a whopping 1,000,000,000% excitement level, right?!?  NOPE!  Ive gotten about maybe 25%!  Kinda sad really :(  But whatever, it's MY day not theirs, so  will express my 1,000,000,000% happiness!!!

Ok, so financially, we have NOTHING, lol :)  Not really, but the $ we are waiting for keeps getting delayed week by week, and with all this frustration I am about to tell everyone to HECK with it all, and bubby and I will just elope!  Seriously, this is sounding more and more appealing :)  Between the HR dept as his work and the 401K co, they have lost important docs so bubba can take out the $ for the wedding!  IDIOTS!!!  They better get it right soon, or Imma go down there and open a can....!!

So far we have decided on :

  • cake
  • Tuxs
  • location
  • date
  • table decore
  • invitations
  • hotel
  • flowers
  • rings (of course!)
  • guests list
  • theme (Whale tail)
However, we have only paid for table decore....

How sad!  I wanna scream, but I  know things will work out!

Well, so I am going to start posting pics of all my wedding dreams  starting with my ring, lol :)  This is just the engagement, the full wedding ring won't be posted until I get it at my ceremony!!  EEEEEKKKKK, Im super excited about that 1!  It's getting custom made, from SCRATCH!!

 Alrighty, well, enuf rambling about a wedding, I gotta go do some planning!! :)
