Wedding planning has been in full effect! Aside from the saving money part, I am pretty much just letting myself just enjoy everything. Definitely not a bride-zilla..or at least I don't think, haha! My favorite part is the creativity aspect...love making all these cool wedding projects/ DIY stuff! My least favorite part is paying for everything, haha! Haven't bought too much for myself...but it has also made me realize that I don't need it! The big splurges I do wanna make when I'm done (yes, already thinking about it haha) are:
1) DSLR camera. Soo badly want to learn how to take photos and edit like a pro!
2) king size bed. Mike's big ass makes a queen seem so small!
3) iphone 6plus. Do I need it? Noooo. Haha.
Anyways, I think I did the hardest part of planning which was hiring all my vendors. I just booked my flowers over the weekend, which was pretty much my last big vendor to book! I also recently hired a day-of-coordinator and booked a rehearsal dinner location (which u guys are all invited to the night before!). We most likely will just go to another island for a "mini-moon" after the wedding..then maybe head to Bali in the summer for a reeal one! Yay! Most my family already has their airfare booked.. I'm most excited to have everyone here at the same time!! Eeeee!
Ahh, so now to relax and focus on ummm..losing weight!! Yess! I was losing weight for a little bit but totally lost all discipline after trying on wedding dresses..haha! Drinking has really negative effects on my progress..but I can't help it! Haha! So, after my little trip to seattle/Vancouver/SD...I promise to try my best to be disciplined with both diet and exercise until the big day! 😁😁
In other news, I am going to day shift! After 5 years of being a vampire, my body has been telling me in many ways that it is over it! Time to be normal again..no more insomnia and wasted days...and more good night's sleep And sunshine!! Besides the awful thought of an alarm clock going off before 6 AM, I am definitely looking forward to it!
Here are some things I been working on..
1) table #s-- Beach names from our hometowns..Kauai and San Diego..& our favorite beaches on Oahu!
First, I stained the wood...
& will add a starfish for a more beachy look..
2) escort card display--mikes gonna build me a wooden frame for 10 bucks..suuper excited! It's gonna be very pinteresting!
3) sneak peak of my invites which I'll be sending out soon:)
