Its almost that time!

With the wedding only a few weeks away, we (and by we, i really mean I!) have been feeling the pressure to get things finalized, and decisions made. Ive been pretty good at sticking to our budget, and doing most things myself, however I would've never imagined how ridiculously expensive ALL things wedding are! It seems by simply being in the "wedding aisle" at Michaels, things become over priced. Ive managed to get away with doing things on a reasonable budget, by trying to stay away from the cutesy wedding stuff, and going a little less traditional. Today I made the decision to not use flowers for bouquets. Am I crazy? Maybe. However, I refuse to spend obscene amounts of money on something that will only die two days after the wedding. Plus, I don't even really like flowers to begin with, so i'm quite happy with my decision. So, stay tuned to see what untraditional idea we come up with for the ceremony ;)


On another note, Have I mentioned how unbelievably excited I am that my brother will be here for my wedding?!?!?! My brother has always been my protector, body guard, dad, and advice-giver. He was the one that yelled at me when I did something wrong, the one that bought me my first car, the one that got me my first job, etc. My brother is the most important man in  my life (besides Rony of course) and having him there will only make my wedding day complete! And to add the icing on the cake, he's bring his beautiful girlfriend with him! I am so excited that they're going to be a part of our special day, and cant wait to see them!


And on that note, I leave you all with some wedding advice a friend of mine sent me :)


For the Groom:
Never let her go to bed angry - you're defenseless when you sleep.
Don't let her know that you think your couch is comfortable - or you'll be sleeping on the patio.
If she says, "Do whatever you want to" - You'd better figure out what it is she wants you to do.
The best gift a man can give his children - is to show them how much he loves their mother. 
The second best gift he can give them - is his time.
Don't ever criticize your wife in public - the world should know that you believe she is perfect.


For the Bride:
When he asks if he can change channels - no matter how you answer, it sounds like "yes".
Men don't spend money on expensive toys just to make you mad - it's genetic, they can't help it.
If you ask his opinion, and he says "I don't care", or "I don't know" - he really doesn't care, or know. (Ive learned this one with Rony!)
Let him pretend he's in charge. It may take him 5 or more years to figure out that he isn't. By then, it's too late.
Don't ever criticize your husband in public - the world should know that you believe that he tries really hard.


And for BOTH: 
Don't fight or argue over the little stuff. It's never worth the effort.


Happy Leap day...39 days to go!!!!

Where is the time going?!?!

Sorry its been so long since our last update, and I wish my excuse was "Ive been busy with all the wedding plans" but in a reality, life has just been crazy all around, lately. Both Rony and I have been crazy busy with work, and to add to the madness, im also getting ready to take my TEAS to (finally) apply to the nursing program, so needless to say all wedding plans have taken a back seat to our everyday life. However, with the wedding so close now, Im finally feeling the pressure, therefore I promise I will be getting this wedding done and over with even if it kills me!

One great accomplishment we had this month was FINALLY getting a caterer for the wedding! Some of you may know how much work this has been for us, after having to deal with several disappointments, so I am feeling very relieved that we are able to cross this off our list!

We've had several friends and family members ask us recently if we were doing a wedding registry, and I would like to address the topic: Rony and I have everything we need, and really don't feel the need to ask for anything else. As cliche as it may sound, our only wish for our wedding day is for our family and friends to be there, and enjoy the day with us! However if you MUST give us something, theres a VW Bus that my darling Fiance has been wanting! :p
