I attended a wedding where the bride and groom opted to do a 50/50 raffle instead of a Dollar Dance....

testing out some products.....
tan
I am going to test out some tanning lotions. NOT the kind that make you orange, I mean the kind that are supposed to give you a natural glow if you apply daily like your regular lotion.
I have done a little research, and have seen several testimonials that say that they work great when used daily. The pictures actually showed where a man ( I know, some of them tan......whatever lol) who applied it to only one leg and not the other for a whole week. By the end of the week the one leg looked fabulous. lol. So I am willing to be a guinea pig, we'll see!! The first product I am using is Nivea body, Sun-Kissed Firming Moisturizer lotion. And the second is Jergens natural glow face daily moisturizer. I hope these work. But keep checking my blog, cause I will let you know at the end of the week. I think I will also post before and after pictures, in case anyone is interested in how this works. Wish me luck!! |

Groomsmen....grrrrrr....
OKay.....So lets just say....our best man is getting on my last nerve. As you probably all are, I am very very VERY stressed out. I mean there are 57 days until the wedding. I have yet to have my dress altered, pick out the ceremony music, as well as many other things. Well.....the tuxes are picked out, thats one thing off my list. They are all paid......except for one. The Best Man. I don't know if he is having a mental blockage or something, but I swear he makes me want to pull my hair out.
He seems to think that it is appropriate to wear some tuxe he has had packed away in the back of his closet for God knows how long. NOT HAPPENING!!! If he did not want to pay the price of renting the tuxe we picked out, he should have told us in the first place. I feel like I am being mean here, but I know that in actualality, he is being selfish. My fiance was in his wedding and had to buy the tux which cost 150.00. The tux we picked out only costs 84.00 to rent. Not to mention that you can pay half down and pay the rest at pick up. Tell me girls.....am I being mean?? I mean I had to pay for my neice to be a bridesmaid....dress, shoes and I will have to pay for her hair too, because my sister in law is too cheap to fork out the money. I also had to buy our flowergirl's dress for the same reason. And really if they did not want their children in the wedding they should have told me in the first place rather than wait until its too late to find replacements. Seriously irritated. |

67 days to go!!!!
Wow!!!! 67 Days left until the big day!! I am so excited and happy I could bust. lol. I am super stresses like all the time now. I am constantly thinking of things that I have yet to finish, things I have yet to buy, and stuff like that. I know that in the end it will all come together. I am trying to tell myself ahead of time that this is the best day of my life ( besides the birth of our son). I am also trying to tell myself that its ok if something goes wrong. I mean of course I want it to be perfect, but I also know that not everything always goes as planned, and that something might go wrong, but in the end the day will still be perfect.

Teeth Whitening??
Ok....so this is something I have been thinking about for awhile now. I really want to have my teeth whitened. I mean, I don't really have yellow teeth, but they are slightly stained from my diet Coke addiction. lol.
Is anyone else thinking about doing this?? Or, has anyone already done this?? I was thinking about just getting Colgate white strips and seeing how they work. |

Ask a Question
What ceremony readings are you incorporating into your wedding?
I am trying to think of which readings we will have in our ceremony. If anyone has some ideas, I would really love some help!!!!
1 Corinthians 13:1-13 If I speak in the tongues of men and angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a tinkling symbol. And if I have prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And if I dole out all my goods, and if I deliver my body that I may boast but have not love, nothing I am profited. Love is long suffering, love is kind, it is not jealous, love does not boast, it is not inflated. It is not discourteous, it is not selfish, it is not irritable, it does not enumerate the evil. It does not rejoice over the wrong, but rejoices in the truth It covers all things, it has faith for all things, it hopes in all things, it endures in all things. Love never falls in ruins; but whether prophecies, they will be abolished; or tongues, they will cease; or knowledge, it will be superseded. For we know in part and we prophecy in part. But when the perfect comes, the imperfect will be superseded. When I was an infant, I spoke as an infant, I reckoned as an infant; when I became [an adult], I abolished the things of the infant. For now we see through a mirror in an enigma, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know as also I was fully known. But now remains faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. this is what I think we might go with. |

Candy buffet jars
Hey girls. All of my jars were purchased at Big Lots!!! Most people don't think to check there but I bought all 5 for around $40.00!! This is a great price, as they are usually between 20 and 30 dollars a piece. Also a good tip Big Lots is having a sale this sunday the 20th. 20% off your entire purchase!!!! No minimum purchases either.
It took me about an hour and fifteen minutes to finish all five. It does take some patience to line the ribbon up perfectly, and to glue it down so its even all around. Good luck and if you have any questions ask!! I love doing stuff like this!! |

Invitations
I made these invitations and response cards at Vistaprint.com. They did not have hardly anything purple to pick from. But I cant complain because they are a great price. Its going to only cost $60 for 50 of each!!! Do you girls like these?? Do you think they are formal enough? I mean we are not having a super fancy wedding, but it is a church wedding.
