My Journey From Miss to Mrs; Part 3: My Bridesmaids & I!

While waiting for the clock to slowly hit 4:00 and for us to head over to the wedding. 

My Bridesmaid & flower girl took lots of pictures!!

I was a nervous wreck, couldn't breathe from my dress being so tight, and drinking champagne.

Not enough champagne, that's for sure!

One thing that I was actually unhappy with, although it really didn't make a huge difference was my bouquet. 

I loved the look of it, but at the flower preview my bouquet was actually bigger than it was the day of the wedding, and on top of that, I asked for it to be SIGNIFICANTLY bigger than that and paid extra. 

So it was quite disappointing when they dropped off the flowers and it was much smaller than expected. 

I got over it real quick, but still.

Ohh, I have read a TON of books since I last posted due to the waiting for planes, sitting on the beach and trying to relax!

 

Today i am going to post about:

"Something Borrowed tells the story of Rachel, a young attorney living and working in Manhattan. Rachel has always been the consummate good girl---until her thirtieth birthday, when her best friend, Darcy, throws her a party. That night, after too many drinks, Rachel ends up in bed with Darcy's fiancé.

Although she wakes up determined to put the one-night fling behind her, Rachel is horrified to discover that she has genuine feelings for the one guy she should run from. As the September wedding date nears, Rachel knows she has to make a choice. In doing so, she discovers that the lines between right and wrong can be blurry, endings aren't always neat, and sometimes you have to risk all to win true happiness."

I had already seen the movie to this book, but decided to read the book, before I read the next book Something Blue. 

It was pretty good, just like the movie. However, watching the movie before reading the book really does ruin it for me. I much rather read the book before the movie.

Overall I give it a 7/10.

Pretty entertaining, a good beach read!

 

I'm Not Gonna Lie

This makes me insanely happy:

My Journey From Miss to Mrs; Part 3: The Dress Revealed!

One of my favorite parts of my whole wedding, besides marrying the love of my life was the dress!!

When I was first dress shopping in was the 3rd dress that I tried on and the second I tried it on I KNEW it was the one. 

I only tried on about 8 dressed total, but nothing before or after even came close to giving my heart the little flutters that my dress made!!

So after the hair and make up was completed, I headed up to my room to put on the dress I was going to become a wife in!!

The dress is Cardiff by Enzoani!

Descritption: Mermaid silhouette with lace sweetheart bust. Empire waist with bow and floral tulle detail with precious stones.
Asymmetrical embroidered two tiered skirt in silky taffeta and tulle with semi-catherdral train.

It was perfect. 

So pefect that prior I was entertaining the idea of having a trash the dress session afterwards, and couldn't even think about it after because I am so in love with it!! 

What do you think!? 

 

My Journey From Miss to Mrs; Part 3: Getting Ready♥

I woke up the day after the rehearsal dinner and could hardly believe that my wedding day was finally there. 

I mean I waited one year and five months for this day to come and when it finally came it felt surreal. 

I slept quite poorly the night before, as I was nervous, excited, and all emotions everywhere in between. 

After an early morning shower, my mother, niece and bridesmaids headed off to get our nails and toes done!!

 We got ready in my friends grandparents house, which was simply stunning. 

My Journey From Miss to Mrs; Part 2: The Rehearsal Dinner♥

Just two weeks ago is when the fact that I was actually getting married started to feel real!

It wasn't until the day before at the rehearsal ceremony and rehearsal dinner that I started to feel it and get anxious!

I still believe I was actually quite calm, but the butterflies were absolutley fluttering in my stomach. 

The rehearsal ceremony was actually slightly chaotic. My father showed up a bit late, and one of the groomsmen's trains was delayed causing him to miss most of the rehearsal, although he came through at the very end. 

However, we finished amazingly and headed off too our lovely dinner. 

We went to a restaurant a few miles away from were our ceremony was taking place, and has a wonderful banquet room all too ourselves. 

After this my adorable-at-the time- fiance & I said goodbye and that was the last time I saw him until we were walking down the aisle!!

That night my girls and I slept over at my mothers house and had a blast with my adorable niece!!

From here I attempted to sleep, however was not very successful!!

My Journey from Miss to Mrs. Part 1: Bridal Shower & Bachelorette Party!

My Bridal Shower & Bachelorette Party were both simply amazing. 

Due to two of my bridemaids living 15 hours south of me, we had to have it on the same day, which wasn't my preference, but I had to deal!

My best friend allowed us to have the shower at her house since it is simply stunning and spacious!

Then we headed to the city for my Bachelorette party, and let me tell you things got a little wild!!

 From here on, I somehow lost my camera and then found it but took no pictures!!

We played the men card came in which I had to find men that fit the descriptions on the card!!

Hilariously fun!!
