Card Box...in progress

I just want to shout out to the best fiance EVER!!!!!!!!!!

He painted the cardbox all by himself!! :o) No seriously...he is an artist so I trusted he would know what to do. Well he painted the boxes with the first coat of paint. We have to go over them again and of course we have to add the details!

We are hoping that this

TWO BRIDES...NO THREE!



I don't know if you all have noticed but there are actually TWO brides posting on this site! SHIX and E=DC2. We are planning our weddings and also in each other's weddings! WHEW...and yes we can still manage to put a sentence together! :)

We now have ANOTHER friend that is engaged and getting married in 2011!!! She will be joining us in posting about her wedding experience. We are hoping it will be sometime this month. But we are giving her a little time to take in the thought of GETTING MARRIED, PLANNING A WEDDING, AND posting about it! LOL

Just wanted to give you all a heads up so when she does come on the scene, no on is confused that there are THREE brides on this site!

We know you all will welcome her with open arms!

I LOVE MY FRIENDS!!!!!!!!

Pick a Song...

So, one of my good buds came up with an awesome idea for the reception table names.  We are going to name each of the tables at the wedding by different songs.  Love songs, or ones that mean a lot to us.  When your song is played, you hop up, dance around a bit, then go to grab your food from the buffet line.  We have had a blast pulling together the list & I had even more fun linking YouTube videos to it!

The List so far...
This group had fun with that video!
Jungle Fever soundtrack!
My family is coming to GA from VA, seems applicable!
How could you NOT have NE?  Isn't his version of the song pretty hot?  But, so is this one!  And.. this one as well!  And, last one... this dude is a BEAST with editing!
A-Town Stomp!!!  Look at the babies do it...
Man!  Could we get some singing lessons in between now & May?  LOL  
Nice to see an older guy showing off his talents!  And she's feeling it!    
Classic!    
Look at the wedding party dancing!  LOL
Acapalla!        
How could the day be complete without this one?        
Go 1:20 into the video, so silly!
He planned a SURPRISE WEDDING!
Love this song!  
Kiss - Prince   
The best footage of this song ever performed is lost, so I will not post anything else!    
Too sweet!        
Way back! 
Great Rendition!        
Yes I can!   
Sing young man! 
Classic!        
Chills up the spine!        
I LOVE her voice!   
Sang boys...        
He starts about :45 seconds into it.        
Love this version!        
Candy Rain in 2011!        
I Got It Made...

And another one... Busy Busy Busy!!!

I'm having a GREAT time at this whole wedding planning thing, but between trying to be productive and fighting U-Verse to have consistent service, I've been slacking on my updates!  Don't you wish sometimes that life would pause and allow you to have time to plan this wedding which is more than difficult enough in and of itself???  Oh, well, isn't life grand!

Rumor has it that we are about to add another blogger to our ranks.  Yep, you read me correctly.  There is yet ANOTHER pal in this circle of friends who is going to tie the knot THIS YEAR!  Wow... aren't we a busy, busy, busy crew!

Makeup Trial

I was able to do a makeup trial with my good friend this weekend!!! I'm so excited!

I hope the day is MINUS that pimple! UGHHH

We played around with a bunch of different things. And ultimately will be making some other tweaks. I'm not sure about the gloss either, but we've got plenty of time! :o)

I also had one of my bridesmaids come to do a sample for them! This green iridescent eyeshadow is AMAZING!!!!! I'm in love!! :o)

What do you all think!?!

Matching colors

Are you trying to match your colors perfectly???


I was finally able to pick up my swatch for my bridesmaids dresses. I'm soooooooo in love with the color.

CELADON

I admit I was having second thoughts looking at the color online. But now that I have it in my hands...I know that it's the one! :o)

So now I have it and I'm like am I really going to try to match this exactly??? Or maybe the swatch is to make sure things don't clash?? I don't know...LOL

Are you all matching perfectly?
