Wedding Blog 7

Saturday Oct 6, 2007 ~ "1 Day To Go"

I've just walked in the door from my bachelorette party. It's officially one day away from our wedding! I'm excited.

I'm thankful that I have a wonderful man to walk down the isle to. I really can not imagine waiting a year or more to have this day. Even though it was alot of work I'm happier planning our wedding in a short amount of time. It's made this event even more special and intimate. There was not enough time to argue with vendors and people who wanted to be invited. Well atleast not often LOL

It's 2:39 am and I need to get up at 8:30 to pick up FI from the airport. But I don't want to go to sleep. I'm excited to see him after a month apart. I'm excited to put on my dress, tiara, and veil. I'm excited to read my personal vows to my love. I'M JUST FREAKING EXCITED!!!!!!
I must say this to anyone reading this : Tomorrow is not promised. Make everyday meaningful and live it that way. I lost a very dear friend earlier this year. She was in the midst of planning her own wedding before she was murdered. As a result of her death, I've changed my outlook on life.

You cannot live life carelesslly or doing what others say or think you should! You should do what fits you, please think about it. In the last year I left a job that I spent over 50 hours a week at to work part time. Yes it's less money but I've spent more time with my family and friends. I've had numerous special moments with my daughter that I was not able to have before.

Life is what you make it. Make it about the paycheck and you will only see those results. Make it about your wedding day details and not the love that created the wedding, it will be about the glitz and glamour. Make it about what you have compared to others, it will always be a comparison game. I'm saying these things because I've learned several leasons that have shown me this and because I've watch woman after woman on here do some of these things.

Wish me luck!!!

The Wedding Industry

Today while chatting with my girls we began discussing the wedding industry. The hoopla and money associate with a wedding. During this conversation I stated that how happy I am I didn’t stick with the original budget we had for our wedding. How I would be mad if I had spent that much now that I am married. Some times I feel like I am anti-weddings. It might be from being on The Knot (TK) since this past July. Or seeing couples, especially the women, put so much work, time and focus into their wedding and its over in a snap! Some spend a year or more planning their wedding. Researching, looking, buying and stressing over every detail of it and the day is over before you know it. I am NOT saying don’t do what YOU want, but do NOT get caught up in the hype! I mean seriously, would you put this much time in planning a party? A get together? A retirement party? Nope... so why your wedding? It's technically a party. It is a celebration of your union. Definition of wedding (1) a marriage...

Inappropriate Questions

I am the queen of asking questions. I ask because I rather ask than assume, but I try not to ask inappropriate questions. If only others would do so too! Here are some I get and/or hear. “What grade are you in?” Um stupid motherf’er I am GROWN! Notice the diamonds on my left hand and my wedding band. The nice business casual clothes! This is a question I get atleast once a month from some random stupid person that don’t know me and they usually get a rude response. I mean if you are observant enough to look at me and think I’m that young you need to really be observant! And I’m a sistah, yes with a H! Yall know black don’t crack! “When are you due?” This one always makes me laugh when someone ask a woman who has a muffin top stomach and is NOT pregnant! I know it’s funny to me since I don’t get that question, but still how ignorant is that! “When are you having kids?” Um lets see, never! Why are you all in our sex life? I mean really! I am going to start saying, “We ...

Tornado in ATL

Friday night a tornado hit downtown Atlanta. I still can not believe it. It is amazing to see the damage it caused. I was born and raised in this city! This is the stuff I watch on the news not a few blocks from my house! I was moments from being caught in it. Thank God I was running behind for once in my life. I am normally very on time but wasn’t Friday night. I was and left a few minutes behind. There is major damage less than a mile from my house. I love living downtown, but the other day I wasn’t so in love with the idea! Thankfully no one I know was injured or had major damage to their homes. One of my favorite bars, the Harlem Bar is closed. It is on Edgewood. The tornado did some serious damage to that area. I am thankful that few were injured and no one was killed. It’s amazing that now one was since it hit in a very populated area. Thank God it was 9:30pm and not rush hour!
