Turkey Day

Eating, resting, eating, resting...playing card games. That was Thanksgiving. Here are the 3 boys hanging out.

I Found the One!

I found my wedding dress! And ironically, it was the very first dress I tried on 4-5 weeks ago. Go figure! Of course I can't show a picture, but like they say, it's not what I thought I'd end up with and you can just feel it when it's the right one. Sporting the veil, tiara and even a fake bouquet, it just felt right! YEAH ME!!!!

Cincy's Bridal District

So now that it's finally my turn as bride to be finding her dress, the trip to Cincinnati bridal district wasn't a successful one. After just getting back from Stephanie and Austin's wedding in Jamaica the night before (I'll write about that in my next posting), my mom and I drove sleepy-eyed to Cincy in hopes of THE dress. Since we were down there already, we swung by my favorite store IKEA for lunch and a few small things. You can never leave empty handed! And of course we had to stop by Jeffersonville on the way home as a treat for enduring the long day. So needless to say, it was a day full of shopping.

The search continues...

Pre-Cana...Check!

We finished our 1 day pre-cana at St. Mathews Church in Gahanna a few Saturdays ago. There were 70 couples in attendance. That's right, SEVENTY, 140 people there. Though it was a very long day, I think it was worth it. The day was really all about learning about your future spouse, from communication to family origins. My favorite part was talking 3 minutes straight with Fred's undivided attention and he wasn't allowed to say a word. THEN...he had to interpret what I said. He actually passed. :)

I also learned that I might be one very emotional bride when it comes to the real vows. I'm not a crier, so I was shocked when my eyes started slowly filling up with tears as we stood face to face, hand in hand while Fred repeated the pre-cana ceremony vows. I don't think I was even able to finish mine. Get the waterproof mascara ready!
