Guest List

Well I know some girls add a few famous people to their invite list. . .now of course I know that there is only a .0000000001% chance that anyone would show up but I could'nt help myself. So I just thought of who I would really want to invite. . . um top of the list of course is Robert Pattinson :o)

and I think I'm going to do Stephen Moyer, Christian Bale, and The Obama's. . .this is sooo much fun!

Wedding Band

So there was a whole bunch of drama with my wedding band. . . he is the short of it: A few months after getting engaged we purchased our rings. I ended up getting an eternity band thinking everything would look perfect once it was the the right size. Well when the rings came in. . . well not perfect, the rings together didn't look right and I hated it. I didn't want to hurt my FI's feelings so I just kept telling myself. . .you love it. . .you love it. . .you love it. . .but I didn't love it and so months few by and I finally gathered the nerve to tell my FI that I wanted to exchange the ring. After about 6 trips to the jewelry store w/ BM's and Knotties and my FI I finally decided on a ring and as we finally went to make the exchange they said too much time had passed and since it was a special order we had to work with the manager. I was devastated. . .I found the right ring but I wasn't sure if I would end up with it :o( But then a few days later I got a call telling me we could do the exchange!!!!!! YAYAYAYAY! And this ring I was able to get it engraved and my FI decided to have "My Love" written in Dutch with our wedding date :o) So here are all the pics. . .

Shower Attire

So tomorrow I have my New York bridal shower. I hadn't the slightest idea of what to wear and I was talking to the girls at work about it. My co-worker (the amazing Alyson) offered to lend me the dress she ordered for her bridal shower last year. She didn't get to wear it because it was too big and so she brought it into work and it fits perfectly :o) Since it is still a little chilly out here in Connecticut I decided to run over to Kohl's and see if they had anything. While walking around I saw a dress. . .the only one like it and it was in my size! The little bolero with it looks perfect with both dresses so I couldn't be happier! Here are the dresses. . . the one on the left is my New York dress and the one on the right is my Connecticut dress :o)

Now Reading. . .

I read this book about 5 years ago but I decided to gear up for the movie release and re-read it. I really LOVE Dan Brown's books they are so exciting and I am really excited to take on reading this masterpiece again :o)

Currently Reading. . .

So since I so dearly loved the series True Blood on HBO I decided to get the first book in the series Dead until Dark. Well actually Eric got it for me for Valentines Day. Its a great book there a quite a few differences between the show and the book but I guess that's to be expected. I'm almost done but I think I have decided to hold off on the series after this book so that I can be surprised with the show. Its a great book and all I have to say is mmmmmmmm to Bill Compton! Does anyone have any suggestions for any other hot vampire books?

Realization

So with my first bridal shower quickly approaching its really beginning to sink in that my wedding is literally right around the corner. In only 86 days I become a wife! WHAT! How exciting is that? Since the day he proposed it seemed like something that was so far away and now its almost here. I am that girl who growing up always dreamed of her wedding day. I to this day remember friends and family asking me when I was a little girl. . . "Jessica what do you want to be when you grow up?" my response was always steady "I want to be a wife and a mother". Now half of my dream is coming true. I love my fiance more than anything and the mere thought of spending the rest of my life with him just makes me giddy. I just wanted to share :o)

Place Cards :o)

So this weekend I tackled my place cards which I have been at a loss for ideas. But as all of my projects go out of no where something clicks and I make it work. So using Photoshop I create this template. . .

Just in case you need to know dimensions: 3 1/2 by 2 1/2

Once cut out here is what you are left with:

I decided to alternate my colors to give my card table more dimension :o) Another one completed yay!
