Aloha friends!!
I first want to apologize for all the nagging texts about what dress I should buy for my wedding. What a decision! I learned my lesson that that is one thing not to settle on! I ended up buying a dress at David's Bridal that I didn't love but purchased because it was cheaper. Well, I came home with the worst of the worst buyers remorse I ever did have! Sick to my stomach and dizzy cuz I knew I made the wrong decision and the receipt read "Final Sale." Thank God they were able to just cancel my order!! So now I know which dress is "the one!".....and even if I didnt purchase it yet...I am saying YES to THAT DRESS!!!
Whew! Hard part is over! I am wondering to myself how the hell I ended up planning this huge ass wedding!? I never imagined having a big wedding..but here I am with a 200-person guest list. 200 only because the minimum head count at the venue has to be 200. 200 people, good lord!!! Apparently, no such thing as small wedding with local families. So my goal now is to keep it simple..going to try to incorporate a lot of DIY to keep it cute, simple, and "me." Splurge on the things that are important to me--which for me would be photography/videography, flowers, and apparently my dress. Good thing Mike is so low maintenance! Hahah. His main concern is budgeting--that I won't spend too much on everything...which is good because I am my father's daughter!! ;) And lastly, never forget why I am doing all this in the first place.....because I'm getting married!! Biggest commitment of my life!!
I'm happy and excited though! Mike is not perfect...& neither am I. But it works out great....Everything I lack, he probably has. He is anal, particular, and detail-oriented and I am soo not. He is straightforward and I beat around the bush. He always wants to have a plan and I'm probably as spontaneous as it gets. I'm outgoing and he is such the homebody. True meaning of opposites attract! He can handle my craziness, my flaws, my spontaneity..and accepts me truly as I am. He has a huge heart, is more loyal than a dog, and has always been my biggest cheerleader in life! I think he will make a great father to our babies (if we're lucky enough one day)...and omg, i seriously feel like crying. Writing that made me tear a little!! Hahah!!
But, it is good to remember that ...especially whenever I wonder how in the world I ended up in the middle of planning a big wedding when I never imagined this! Because it is a big deal....and so so happy to share this day with all our family and friends. Totally worth it!!=)
