Final Fling Before the Ring: Sibling Style!

After B and I got engaged, I thought a lot about all the changes that marriage would mean for my life.  Lots of good changes, obviously, but I also dwelled a lot on the scary changes.  One of my biggest fears was the impact it might have on my close relationship with my family, especially my siblings.

I introduced you to my sister awhile back, and told you how she's basically one of the coolest people ever.  I feel the same way, if not more so, about my brother.  He's only 18 months younger than me, and we've been roommates for three of the last four years.  We've been close all our lives, and I have to admit that I've really gotten used to hanging out with him everyday.

Knowing that shortly after the wedding I will be moving away and no longer be able to rely on frequent interaction with my family, I knew I needed to plan some kind of trip that we could take before the wedding.  My sibs and I have always wanted to take a trip together just the three of us, and I knew that if we didn't do it now, we might not get another chance for a long time.

But where should we go?  I only had to think about it for like 5 seconds.

Attention Sioux Falls area brides!

Just in case you haven't heard, Envision Wedding Studio is having their annual post-wedding season clearance sale next week!



I'll definitely be there when the doors open Friday morning - excited to snag what are bound to be some fantastic deals!  Let's just hope I'm not too exhausted after my incredibly nerdy midnight viewing of the upcoming Harry Potter film!  Priorities... :)

See you there!

Too much hype?

Well ladies, in a move that surprised even myself, I ordered my wedding dress!  

I still can’t believe it - when I walked into the bridal store yesterday, I was not planning on making the actual purchase: this was just supposed to be that initial “moment” of trying dresses on for the first time, and having the emotional experience with my mom and my sister.  Throughout this planning process, however, I have realized that the way I plan things rarely come to fruition.

Case in point: the “emotional experience” I was supposed to have when I found the dress.
