August
Just got engaged and so many things are running thru my mind. What colors, what time, what date, what this , what that�� I am so excited. I never expected this to happen at church. Its just the place it should have. WE have both made new commitments to God and our family and its overwhelming to have this happen at church.
Sept.
I had to back off looking at stuff online it�s a bit overwhelming. I have now decided pink tulips, white roses, white calla lilies. They should look beautiful all together. I have also looked at dresses. I really want a pink one if I can find it. Not really wanting a sleeveless one. I have gained a lot of weight and am not sure I want my arms to show LOL�.
WE have also set a date and time and place! YEAH its June 3, 2006 at 2:00pm at Trinity Bapt Church in Killeen, Texas.
Oct.
Just looking at invitations and stamps. Trying to decide if I want to make them or buy them I think we have finally found one we liked and have sent off for a sample. We are using Ruth 1 as inspiration so really trying to stay on that theme. Still looking at things online. Not sure what I will be getting.
I went a woman retreat called ACTS and what a great time I had. I really have stepped into a wonderful area in my life and am so excited that God has given me Dennis.
Ok back to the wedding stuff since I know that�s what you are looking for. LOL
He has given me a budget of 2000.00 for the whole wedding including dress. I know I can do it but online they give you a budget of 10,000. That�s a lot of zero difference LOL. I am sure it will all work out.
Boy what a month. First I started Weight Watchers. After seeing my pictures that were taken I dedided to do something about it. And with Dennis�s help I will succeed.
Lost 10n pounds in 2 weeks!
Over Thanksgiving I found a dress. I went into David�s Bridal and told everyone(Mom and Julie) I didn�t want a dress right now, didn�t want a white one, didn�t want a sleeveless one. Well that all changed. I was looking at dresses had picked out about 4 different ones. I wanted a variety so I could see what style I wanted it. Well my bride consultant started to move the dresses. She would say �Oh that�s a nice one, Oh that one is on sale. I would ask how much she said 250. I told her that was more like my budget. Then she got to the third dress, she stopped. Told me that it was really really on sale. I said how much? She said I will go and check and be right back with you. She left and told my mom and sister about what she said. She went and took the dress to the fitting room. We all walked to the back of the store. There she whispered the dress is 99.00. I said You are kidding. She told me yep it�s a 700.00 dress on sale for 99.00 I freaked out. I never thought I would have gotten this dress. So I went in was told to put on slip then step into the dress. That was a sight. I started to try and then got to laughing about it. I had to call in reinforcements, JULIE help me. So she came in and helped me. We took off my slip, put dress on zips it up, I pull it up over my head pull slip on, put dress back down, unzip dress, fix top of slip. Ok ready�..lol we are laughing so much inside the dressing room they are laughing outside at us! The door opens and a hush goes over all the other customers and my family��That�s what I want��..I will take it I tell the lady��.So I walk out of the store with a WHITE SLEEVLESS DRESS��.lol�
Exactly what I didn�t want but ended up with the PERFECT dress.
December
We (I) have decided that I am going to make the invitations. I found some great stamps and have created several new ones that Dennis has approved. As well as the family. They
are going to look great! We went to Garden Ridge during Christmas break and hit a sale in the wedding stuff, I have bought bubbles for the reception, and beautiful pink paper for the invitations, and so flower �foo-foo� for several arrangements for the church. Dad and I have sat in the car on the way to Gonzales and have planned the reception and what the flowers are going to look like in the church. So things are looking great.
