Wedding Invitation
Save The Dates ordered!
Omg, I'm so happy! I finally decided on these Save the Dates.
I used a coupon in google that I found for 50% off of postcards. It was $36.00 total including 100 postccards, color on the back and shipping. I hope they look pretty once I get them! Vistaprint gets you with the shipping. Cheapest shipping was $9.92, but that total was still $30 cheaper than zazzle and all of the other sites I checked into. Here's the link for the 50% off of postcards: http://www.retailmenot.com/view/vistaprint.com It gives you a limited selection, but it's only $14.99 for 100 cards and then an extra $10 for color on the back and then $10 for shipping. Click on the one that says: CLICK HERE TO CLAIM 50% Off Postcards. Mailing Services Available. Up to 80% Off All Products! EDIT: I'm thinking about using these stamps I created, too. They are almost as much as the save the dates though! UGH!  |

Wedding Rings And Jewelry
First time ring shopping! Valentines Day was perfect!
Yesterday we decided to go ring shopping. We keep putting it off and other things come up so I told my FH I really wanted to go today just to try on what I like and see it in person and not just online and it was Valentines Day. It was fun! We went to the mall which I usually avoid at all costs unless it's Christmas. The jewelers we wanted to go to were closed so we figured we'd just try the mall jewelers so I can see rings in person since I'd only been online shopping.
Anyway, we went to the jewelry stores that were in the mall and I know now that I do LOVE the 3 stone princess cut settings with a plain band. But, I want pink sapphires on the sides with hearts and an inscription inside. Kyle has already contacted a couple jewelers with some questions about another Kirk Kara ring that I fell in love with that I saw on a brides.com email. So, we'll see what happens. We might end up having something made which is fine with me, too. And, I ended up getting the cutest watch with a pink face at Fossil. I needed a watch so badly. And, I got a pink baby Minnie mouse at the Disney store. She's adorable! I love Disney movies. I know it's weird since I'm a grown woman, but the Disney store is like a candy store to me. I love it and Build A Bear the best in the mall. And, James Avery. And, Kyle knows all this so he's used to it. He puts up with the little girl stuck inside of me. haha! OOOH! THE best part of the day was when we went through JC Penny's and I decided to try on some work out clothes since I really need them and the sales were awesome. Well, the larges are kind of loose on me now and it felt so great! I got 2 pairs of pants, a shirt, a jacket and 2 sports bras. It was such a cool experince not wanting to just sit and cry in the fitting room when trying stuff on. I can't wait until I'm in the mediums or smaller and smaller jeans and trying on real clothes and loving that fit. It's the small things in life that are important that make you feel great about yourself like being in a quiet tiny fitting room and the reflection is so different that you see and you realize that it's real - that you really did that and you are going to keep going and not let yourself down. I'm looking forward to my next weigh in. I never thought I'd say that! LOL! I also cleaned our master bathroom so it's nice and shiny and we also cleaned Kyle's car at the car wash and now it's sparkling and we picked up the kids at home and we all went out to eat at Goose's Acre which is a great restaurant by the water in The Woodlands and sat outside, but it got too cold too fast so we moved inside and our waiter was the coolest waiter ever. |

Wedding Hair Style
Flowers for sure!
My step sister will be doing my hair and make up. She is an award winning colorist and make up artist. I'm so excited to have pretty hair with flowers in it. It seems so like me and so girly and I can't wait for this part of my wedding. It's going to be so pretty in pictures, too. Here's a few examples of what I found that I like. I want it down partly and she said she planned on doing it half down and half up. Please let me know if you find any more that are pretty like this.

Wedding Dress
Kitty Chen is an amazing designer!!!
So, I'm in newly in LOVE with this designer! Her name is Kitty Chen. She reminds me a lot of Claire Pettibone.
What had happened was - I called The Princess Bridal in Old Town Spring just to see if they carried a certain Sohia Tolli gown and a Mori Lee gown that I wanted to price and of course they didn't have them. She said they just sold the Sophia sample even! So, I then told her the deal and how we are getting married at the texas renaissance festival, but I still want a traditional gown - yada, yada, yada - if I can find the right one and she asked me if I'd seen gowns by this designer. So, she even told me which ones to look up on the website and omg - aren't they beautiful!? I even found a couple more I liked. She said she just talked to Kitty a couple days ago and that they'll have some of her gowns in by March so I need to call her back next month to avoid having to pay a $50 shipping fee to have any of them shipped in now. She said I have time since I'm not getting married until November. I can't wait until March now to see them! I asked her range of cost and she said $1500 - $2,500, so they run kinda high, but I LOVE them so I'm really going to try to at least try them on and if I have to try to find one cheaper used or something, I will. I need a wedding gown fund, a second job, rich parents or some lottery winnings. LOL! Kitty Chen - Renaissance http://www.kittychencouture.com// |

Wedding Rings And Jewelry
HELP! Need to pick out an Engagement Ring this weekend!
When my FH proposed, he said he wanted us to
choose the engagement ring together because he didn't want to get me something I didn't like. So, we wanted to go look around this weekend since we are taking a few pictures at the ren fest Thursday after we meet with them and pay our deposit. I have an idea that he has no idea where to go and I don't know how to do this either. I've heard not to go to Zales, but I just have no idea what to do, where to go and what to get. We wanted the ring to be in our save the date pictures and I wanted to get engagement pics done soon, too and have it for that. I have the ring he proposed with, but its not my real engagement ring. Are there any other brides out there who did this or going to? I think we are going to have to charge it or open credit to get a ring since everything we have saved so far is going to go towards the wedding on Thursday when we meet with the Ren Fest coordinator. Anyway, I've attached some that I like that I have found online since May, but I'm not really picky. It doesn't have to be pink. I just need to know where to go and what to do and how much to spend. I think once I see it, I'll know it's the RING and I'll love it. We share money now and have for a few years so it's OUR money and OUR decision. Don't I need to ask for conflict free diamonds, too? I guess I'm nervous! Haha! |

  Our cathedral wedding chapel  cathedral  Texas Renaissance Festival  std idea from WBC bride: magpiebride  our chapel inside with cover |
Wedding BOOKED!
I booked the wedding today!
Well, I talked to the wedding coordinator for the TRF on Friday and sent over the contract and information to book our wedding. She couldn't open the attachment so I faxed it over today. I also set an appt. with her for Thursday, Feb. 4th at 3:30 in order to see more pictures of past weddings, get invitations design ideas and wording ideas, cake decor ideas (they provide the cake), any other options we want to add to wedding package, etc. She said I can pay the deposit then and it just needs to be at least $1,000 but we might pay $3,000 in order to use the money we just received from our tax return. The more we pay now the less we have to pay by August 1st. :) And,the more cash payments the better! I refused to go in debt for my wedding.
Right now, we need to just get our monograms decided and Save the Dates created and sent before I lose my mind. A friend is going to use his Dad's camera (he's our photographer) and take a few pics of us at a local arboretum or somewhere locally for our save the date picture. Then I can move on to invitations and tweaking the guest list that is already 125 and that's with over 20 kids under 18. Ugh! Anyway, another bride on WBC is so sweet and helping me create a monogram like hers and it's so pretty! I can't wait to see it. I'm so not creative like most brides are so I need all of the help I can get. Oh yeah, and the most important things is we also need to get my engagement ring! FH wants it in the save the date picture on ME. Maybe we can go this weekend. YAY! I really have no idea what I want so I guess I'll see it and know. haha! This whole wedding thing is so sweet! I never thought it would be like this which is fun and exciting! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  |

I'm in the People Mag Weight Loss Challenge!
Check out the 1-11-10 issue with Jonas Bro on the cover!
I'm on page 95 and my fiance and I are on page 100!!!
It's a long story how this all happened, but I was chosen with 5 other brides to participate in a weight loss challenge with People magazine. They are providing me with a trainer and nutritionist for the next 9 months. I'll be in 4 issues. We are all Fall 2010 brides and from around the country. My trainer, Vanessa, is amazing (she's also engaged) and I chose her to be my trainer since she was also working with my BFF and she is such a great person. She is also a nutritionist and licensed psychologist...so this outta be interesting. Today was my second workout and I worked out yesterday evening for the first time. I've been doing cardio all year but not a bit of strength training in about 2 years. So, I'm miserably sore, but I feel good already after only 2 sessions. And, I can't remember the last time I got up at 5 am! We worked out from 6 -7 am today. I'm tired yet I feel great already after only 2 workouts. I can't imagine how I'll feel in September! We are going to be working for an hour a day monday - thursday evenings except Wednesday will be morning. Friday is my OFF day and I'm allowed one cheat meal on Friday. I am to do cardio at home (or wherever) on saturday and sundays. I just can't wait to try on weddings gowns and be smaller and be able to pull up the size 10's and then find my dream dress and be able to buy it in a size 10 (or smaller) just like I have dreamed since the day he proposed! And, I can't wait to shop for cute clothes for our honeymoon. That's going to be a blast! I'll need a new and improved bathing suit. All I wanted was to be happy and healthy again and God heard me and answered my prayers. I have just felt like my FH deserves the Sherry in the size he met me and deserves to marry a healthy ME to start our marriage out right. ***If you want to lose weight and have FREE help and support join me at sparkpeople.com http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage.asp?id=MAZZY0774 ***The pics are in the magazine and were taken at the photo shoot for the magazine. It was fun although my little toe was numb for 4 days afterwards from being in heels for 8 hours. eeeek!   |

Wedding Party
Meet our wedding party!
So, we had decided to have a maid of honor, best man
and 2 bridesmaids and 2 groomsmen, but we decided to make the wedding party small and just have 2 people on each side of us. We wanted to cut costs and stress and the people in our wedding party have fully agreed that they want to be a part of our wedding. I did not want to cause anyone stress that would effect my wedding day later. So, introducing.... Maid of Honor: Angela  My little sister is very special and dear to my heart. I know she will be a wonderful Maid of Honor. Even though we've had a rough year, I trust her and know that she will always be there for me by my side. I love her so much and don't know what I'd do without my little Sis. Best Man: Michael  Kyle and Mike are fraternity brothers and have remained close friends throughout the years. Mike is very special to Kyle and always will be. Mike and his family moved to New York, but we still love him anyway. haha! He promised to be by Kyle's side on his wedding day no matter what. Bridesmaid: Jeni  We met in gym class in 1989. We have been best friends ever since! She's been my rock during some hard times in our teens and has continued to be the best friend to me no matter what. I know I'd be a totally different person if it wasn't for Jeni teaching me so much about compassion and love to have for others and myself. I love her so much and I'm so happy she will be my bridesmaid. BFF's 4/ever! Groomsman: Todd  Todd and Kyle met in college at U of H in 1992. Kyle and Todd have stayed in touch no matter what and have leaned on each other through the good and bad times. Todd's a great guy and loves beer almost as much as Kyle does. haha! Ring Bearer: Travis  My 13 year old son is such a great kid. He is so happy that Kyle and I are getting married and he's more excited about getting to go on the cruise with us afterwards. I love him so much! Flower Girl: Logan  Kyle's daughter is 8 years old and she is so happy we are getting married, too. I can't wait to dress her up and have her sitting with me in the horse driven carriage on the way to marry her Daddy. Awwwe! |
