Updates: The Dress!

So...I got my wedding dress a couple of weeks ago! Woo hoo! It was quite an interesting experience. It was super crowded being that it was a Saturday and this is 'busy season' since everyone got engaged over the holidays.

I only tried on four dresses because I had already figured out which ones I really liked and just wanted to narrow it down and pick one! I didn't want to be there all day {I'm not a fan of trying on clothes}, and thankfully, we were out in less than two hours.

So, I had a really hard time choosing between the first and last dresses and so did my crew, which consisted of my momma, sister and three besties. After I tried on the last one, I tried on the first one again. I swear to you, everyone in that store had something to say about it-- everyone was gushing over it and giving me their opinions, and to be honest, it was kind of weird. After much back and forth, I ended up choosing the first dress I tried on that day.

I ♥ it because it has the right amount of details for me, it fits me well, shows off the little bit of curves I do have, and it's comfortable. And, by the way, I didn't cry (not a crier) or squeal or anything like that; I did smile a lot though. What can I say? I'm a pretty laid-back person...

I first saw my dress online, but I didn't really ike how it looked on the screen. I decided to try it anyway because I loved the shape (mermaid), and I'm glad I did. Oh yeah, the wedding colors have been changed, too lol...the dress has gold accents, so I made my sister try on a gold bridesmaids dress. It really complimented what I had on, and it looked good with her skintone. Now, the colors are gold, hot pink/fuschia and burnt orange!

I'm happy that that part is out of the way, and now I can kind of figure everything else out. I'll be back soon because I really have to force myself to cut the guest list {for real, for real}. Until next time...

Support

As many of you know, I'm a freelance copywriter & blogger. I've been doing this pretty much since I graduated from college, and Chris has been with me every step of the way.

I'm not exactly where I want to be financially in my career, but I am very lucky to have someone who supports me- financially and otherwise- when I need it. He even proofreads my work, and I know he hates doing it! Lol I know many people have significant others who don't encourage their dreams and minimize their goals. I'm very happy and appreciative that Chris believes in my goals, dreams & me.

Yay for support! Lol

Titles: Boyfriend vs. Fiancé

Boyfriend or Fiancé?

Last Monday, I went to my alma mater, GCSU, and I hung out with some friends, of course. And a lot of times when I talk about Chris, I call him my boyfriend and not fiancé. My friend, Michael was like, 'Why do you call him your boyfriend?! He's your fiancé now!'

I mean, I know, he's my fiancé, and I'm proud of that and all that mushy stuff {lol}, but sometimes, it feels like fiancé is just so much to say {weird, I know}, and I don't want to be like, "My fiancé this," and "my fiancé that." And I really don't see it as that big of a deal, I guess. Now, when we get married, I'll definitely be referring to him as hubby/husband/etc.

What do ya'll think? Should I be calling Chris my fiancé or does it matter?

P.S.- I love u, Chris : )

Nothing much going on...

So, I haven't been looking at wedding stuff or doing much planning lately. My life has pretty much been consumed with work right now. But I promise I will write in here at least once a week. I might post something interesting I find, something about relationships/marriage in general or about my own wedding plans.

Anyhoo, as I said, I'll be posting once a week, so stay tuned! : )

Presenting...

The wedding colors!

Black is one of my favorite colors, and Chris and I both like yellow- it's a happy color, and it's bright. So, the colors are....

[Yellow, Black and White]

I made this little inspiration board today, but knowing me, it's the first of many. Anyway, here it is:
