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 ...

Single In the City blog #1

As I previously stated I am doing a Single In the City blog on BAB . I will copy them over here after they have been posted there a few days. I will title them SITC then number them, depending on how long the title I might include them in the title on here. If it's long I'll just put it in the post! So here is the first one! Enjoy! Single, Taken, Engaged, Married, Single Again I was married on October 7th, 2007 in an intimate ceremony at The Stanley House , a beautiful Southern home in metro Atlanta. Our wedding day was three months after we became engaged. I put a lot of work into planning our special day, but now that I look back I realize it was not that serious. Not because we are no longer together. Because of the stress and pressure I added on myself. I am sure you are wondering why we are not together. Well, neither of us is perfect. R, the ex-husband, felt that some of the agreements we made before getting married were no longer acceptable. He is in the military, a...
