The Final Countdown


I am getting married in two days.  TWO DAYS!  My mind refuses to slow down but I am happier then I can ever remember being. Then off to Florida until the 16th and then home and moving into the new house.  So tonight I write about the wedding preparations. 

I have the dress which I got an amazing deal on at David's Bridal.  I have to say that if you are searching for the perfect gown and want to feel like a Princess while you shop then this is the place to go.  They are by appointment only but they got me in the day after I called.  My consultant Kristy was so friendly and seemed sincerely into finding me exactly the right dress.  She was fun and I had fun.  I tried on the simple gowns and the fancy gowns and the gowns that couldn't fit through a standard door frame.  They gave me flowers to hold and a veil to get a feel for the whole look and it was a blast!  The gown I fell in love with was a whopping fifty percent off! Yeah!  They also offer lay away but with pricing like that you probably won't need it. I shopped around a lot and I am telling you, save your time and start here and end here ready to stand in front of your man and God feeling beautiful.  They have everything in every style a bride could imagine.
A gorgeous gown needs jewelry that works. I looked everywhere but just like the dress I wanted to keep things simply lovely.  I surfed and surfed and almost settled on an adorable set I found on www.etsy.com -click here to see the runner up.  At the last minute I came across a set on eBay that a lady had purchased at an estate sale.  Antique and exactly the right set.  I don't have a pic to show you now but I will be wearing them in the wedding pics so check those out soon.
Oh the things I had to find.  The cake topper was fun.  I ended up with this topper but I have to say if grandparents would not be present I would definately have gone with this one.

This was another eBay find and it arrived in perfect condition within a week.  The sellers store can be found here and she has a lot of great stuff for weddings. 

The list goes on and on... The shoes - the decorations - the flowers - the music - the cake - the unity candle - guest lists and invitations - food and drinks and on and on and on...

But at last two days from now and we will have our moment.  I will marry the man of my dreams and I can not wait.
