Less than 4 months.

I cannot actually believe it is less than 4 months until I'll be Mrs. Tarcisius. For one, it's an awesome last name, secondly, I'll be a WIFE! After playing Barbies my whole childhood, including a wedding Midge with a replica of my aunt's wedding dress, it's hard to believe my turn is almost here. I mean, this is the day I've imagined from the time I've heard about weddings and understood what they are.

One question I get asked frequently is - how are wedding plans?? to which I respond - oh they're great! No idea if I'm telling the truth, but as far as I know, things seem to be coming together. Bridesmaid dress shopping is set for the weekend, we have a date to meet the caterer and florist, the registry is ALMOST done, and people have been extremely generous in their wanting to help out. So - I know it'll all come together. It's just all the little things to make the day what it is. I'm just thankful for friends who are good at decorating and willing to help me out!

I think what's the CRAZIEST is the fact that in the next 3.5 months we are going to find a place to call "home" together, I have to purchase a car, end my job well here, start a new one, and adjust to living life with another person (eventually). The wedding day seems rather tame! :)

Today I even got to try MY dress on - I can't believe how quick it came. Before they were samples, but this one's it! Hard to believe. Thankfully 2 of my best friends (who are also Bridesmaids) came along. I just couldn't believe it was actually me wearing the dress as I looked in the mirror.

Oh, and for the record, G is the best valentine who treats me just like a princess, and sacrifices for me, just the way Christ did for us. I'm a blessed girl.

Bridesmaid Dress FAIL...

I was ideally hoping for a simple "everyone order their own dress, it fits perfectly" situation for the bridesmaid dresses. Sadly, this was not the case.

Unfortunately, the dresses I had my BMs order (right) were both see through and not ideal for all people. and the yellow was not as bright as it is in the picture. SO - I'm now on a hunt for the perfect bridesmaid dress.

On the up-side, this means I get more bonding time with the ladies. I'm really hoping to not have to go through a bridal dress store, as they cost twice the price, and since the wedding is in 4.5 months, chances are they'd tell us they'd need to "rush" the dresses, and charge us an arm and a leg. Highway robbery.

Oh well, another day, another obstacle.
But on the up-side I can't wait to be married. How people wait a year to get married, I'm not sure...kudos to them. :)

I'm most pumped for the dance at the wedding - one song suggestion by my bro was this and now I'm hoping Mr. DJ has it...
