{30 Day Blog Challenge} Day #7 my dream wedding

(I missed yesterday, oh well I didnt really have a good answer anyway.)

Day 7 - Your dream wedding.


First some of my favorite girls will help me get ready.

Then, before we can get started, some important people must be seated: Then our amazing attendants will come in: And because its VERY important for brides to walk on flowerpetals before they get married:

Then as I have always dreamt of:
My 2 big brothers will walk me down the aisle. This moment in my memory makes me tear up most times I think about it. Even before it happened. The morning of the wedding, I couldnt sleep, I laid in bed imagining the wedding and this moment made me cry like a, well bride on her wedding day. I still get choked up looking at these pictures.

2 more of my darling neices were my train carriers.

I will meet my Groom, my Love at the front for a few gushy words... Blah Blah Blah....

After the ringbearers will bring up the rings, we give them to eachother:

And because by then we couldnt wait any more, we kiss!

and then we love happily ever after... Well... not until we have cake anyways

A few more details about this dream, we re-entered the room to "His Cheeseburger" by VeggieTales. Its the most romantic song ever.

We served basic food, the highlight was over 400 hand made cupcakes made and decorated by me and my wedding fairies. Topped with a jumbo cupcake made and decorated by my great friend, owner of Pink Princess Cakes.

My Something Old New Borrowed Blue:

• My Love had given me Citrine Earrings for Christmas, not very old, but aside from the veil, it was the oldest thing I wore.
• Both my dress and matching necklace to the earrings were new, it was my wedding gift from my now husband.
• I borrowed my mother's veil, altered slightly to add my colors.
• My mom used scrap fabric from my bridesmaid's blue dress to make me a garter belt.
• And I had a sixpence in my shoe, my father in law gifted it to me for good luck.

It meant a lot to me to have my entire immediate family involved in the ceremony. Family is important to both my husband and I. This is the 23 (going on 25) of us. My Parents, Siblings, Siblings' spouses, neices nephews, my Husband and I.

The wedding was held in our home theater/ shop. The weather was unpredictable that day, and we were very concerned that it would start to down pour right when I had to walk out my upstairs door and down the deck and through the building for the grand entrance. Luckily, the downpouring stopped about an hour before the wedding, so I didnt have to walk down the inside stairs: it was hard enough to walk with my brothers holding my arms, me and stairs dont like eachother much.

My Dream came true on 10-10-10 and everyday I imgine that I couldnt be happier, and everyday, I find that yesterday, I was wrong.

{30 Day Blog Challenge} Day #3

Here we go, day 3 of the challenge.

Day 3 - Your idea of the perfect first date.

hmmm. This is a good question. I would love to say how romantic and lovey Mikey and my first date was, and it really was, I just wasnt feeling it our first time dating. This was 3 years ago. He picked me up looking nice and dressed up, brought me tulips, which he didnt know were my favorite flower, and we went to lunch. We had a good time, but I was hung up on another guy who really wasnt worth my thoughts, so I wasnt really open to feeling anything for Mikey. I kept thinking what an idiot I was, hes perfect, has good values, respectful, thoughful, sweet, not a lowlife. I just couldnt feel it.

Fast forward almost 3 years and the other guy is long gone from my thoughts, and so are a few other losers. I wasnt really looking for love, just feeling like I aughta be more social, so I joined Facebook and was hooked pretty quickly. Browsing for friends, I came across Mikey on a mutual friends list and sent him a message, I remembered what a good friend he was when we tried dating before and decided to start the friendship up again. It was in the back of my mind that I hope we can try the dating thing again, with less pressure. The first time, I knew how much he liked me and I felt pressured into liking him and that didnt work for me. This time, I was a happier, more open person and didnt feel any pressure. We went into the "dating thing" as more of a "hanging out with friends thing" we had some Pizza and watched a movie, my brother, his girlfriend and my sister were all there, so there wasnt any pressure. We hung out more and more and things fell into place and here we are, married and loving it!
