Unity Sand

This is so pretty

So my fiance was searching on the internet the other day and found something that neither of us had heard of, called unity sand, we both fell in love with the idea. What happens is there is a vase, and smaller glass vials filled with sand.. The priest will pour the first vial into the vase, then the groom will pour his keeping just a little bit of sand still in his vial, the bride will pour hers, still leaving a little bit of sand, then they will together pour their remanding sand in. I know this will be corny, but obviously the groom pouring his sand then the bride pouring her sand show their separate life, pouring together shows they're going to share their life's. Once the sand mixes, it can never be unmixed :) and it'll be a cute keepsake. You also light the sand every year on your wedding date, a little dish and wax stays ontop of the sand to be lit.

By the way the cake that I like is the white one with the red flowers going down the side :) tell me what you girls think!

Change of date

Wedding date moved

Due to the fact that my wedding was going to be July 18,2010, I decided to take your guys advice and move it. Keeping in mind that I just had a baby a few ago, and lost my job, there would be so much pressure and stress in trying to plan a wedding in 8 months with no money. I didn't want to change my date, but I do want a really nice and beautiful wedding, something that I will remember with the man I love for the rest of my life. We moved the date to June 4, 2011. That gives me so much time to plan and do the things I need to do for my wedding. I was very reluctant to move my date, so I appreciate all the advice I recieved :). I feel so much better, and am use to the fact that I won't get married as soon as I wanted, but waiting is better than rushing, and not having everything that I would love to have.

Stressing out

Alrighty so I got engaged in May. I also happend to be pregnant at the time lol. We set our date for July 18, 2010. About 9 months away. I have some ideas so far, but nothing done since I was mostly worried about getting things ready for my daughter. I'm on maternity leave now. I have about 3 weeks left before I go back to work. My maternity leave is NO pay, so we have no money set back for the wedding yet. Not to mention Christmas is coming up soon. I want a big, beautiful wedding, I have to find someway to make that work now lol! It's a little overwhelming!
