A Long Time Coming......

I have not posted in a long time. I have been on wedding detail. This is going to go kind of fast, so keep up!

Last week I was feeling TOO depressed about the lack of assistance I was getting from my bridesmaids and from Rev. So on Friday I was in the most depressed mood ever. No one had ordered their dresses, Rev would not communicating wedding plans with his family, and I got another caterer. It was just too much going on. So, by Friday, I just resolved to myself that the bride would stand alone, and I would just get done what I could. When I got home from work, I put on a movie for Miss Beasley (Curious George for the 50-11th time) and went down to the room over the garage to start painting the letters for my cake table. So, as I am painting I hear my little sisters voice say, "I thought I would come home early." I was too happy to see her. She said she wanted to surprise me by coming home so she could go to the bridesmaid meeting too. We ended up going to the revival at my church and going out to dinner at Ruby Tuesdays. The next morning we got up and took Miss Beasley to her first day at dance class. After that we headed over to David's Bridal and met with 3 of the other bridesmaids. At this point you are probably wondering where the other 5 bridesmaids were. One is a hairdresser, so you know she wasn't going to be able to make it, one lives in GA, one was MIA(later discovered she was in the hospital, she is my pregnant bridesmaid--due on April 15, the wedding is on the 12th) and two of them were out of town. So, when we got to David's it was quiet. This picture best reflects the calm before the storm.
Once everyone got their choices going, hilarity ensued. When looking at these pictures think of all the dresses in clover (or AKA green as my sister called it)

This one looks good!

When it all comes down to it, it is about the shoes.

When it was all said and done, I left with 4 bridesmaid dresses ordered and paid for and my mom got her dress too! I don't have any pictures of her in it, but I will try to take one of it on the hanger. It's gorgeous. Rev and I took engagement photos a while back and those came in. I will put those in the next post. Be Blessed!

I have not been by in a while, but I laugh so hard at your posts! PLEASE do not let the stress of the event, stop you from enjoying it and remember to document all of the events with photos and keepsakes! You will want to do a journal of all of the good and the bad! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
