Well it has definately been a busy month last month and much more to come.  Thankfully we have decided on the bridesmaids dresses and got them ordered.  Also have our theme picked as being a beach theme, kinda nice since it is in July.  I have had so much help with everything its amazing.  I have the best friends and bridal party a girl could ask for.  Now we gotta get these men in gear and get thier tux ordered.  I have not got my gown yet, I know a lot of people have been asking but have not yet.  I do really like two different dresses and think I am going to go with the one, its beautiful and cheap as well and that is what we are trying to do is keep it cheap as possible.  I am sure you all will like the dress as well.  I just gotta get sized for it still.  Then from there I can get Alayna's because I want hers somewhat similar to mine but with no train. We are finally moving along with this and I believe we will be fine with everything now, last month I doubted it cause we were so far behind but I think we are good now.  I am now browsing for decorations, so if anyone has any ideas let me know I am up for all suggestions seeing as how I absolutely hate making decisions lol.  Well hope you all are having a great week and I will hopefully be more regular at posting on here.  I am also gonna block out some rooms at two local hotels for those of you traveling and I will post those on the website as soon as I know all the details.

Well we went this morning and finally met with Pastor about our wedding.  I am so excited I can hardly wait.  The date is going to approch so fast I am not gonna know it lol.  We have a lot of decisions to make and many godly decisions as well.  It makes it difficult sometimes to do whats right and make it easy as well.  However we will get through all this and have a great wedding.  I still need to talk to the K of C hall again to make sure everything is still on for our reception there.  I will let everyone know for sure when I find out.  Then the decisions come in were we need to figure out catering or what???? Any ideas please let me know.  And my favorite photographer of all doesn't do inside wedding so I gotta find a photographer too. Shew decisions decisions. 

Finally we have a date!!!!!!

As many of you know already we have been through a HUGE tragedy in our lives and lost our son Mason Joseph.  So I have been way behind on wedding planning.  I won't speak too much of our tragedy whereas I do have another blog to vent for that.  Anyways, I hope you all have had a great Thanksgiving and everyone is healthy.  We are having Thanksgiving next weekend because the girls are at their Dads this year for Thanksgiving.  Well thankfully our date has finally been set for July 2nd next summer.  We will have the reception at Knights of Columbus and our wedding will be at Abounding Grace here in Celina.  We have been attending this church for a little over a month now and I could not ask for a better place to marry my best friend not to mention a better pastor to do it.  We will defiantely have the best pastor around!!!! I am sure you all will agree when you meet him in July.  He is wonderful!  Well just wanted to let everyone know I am back on track again and the wedding planning has started yet again.  Now all the decisions need to be made, if only i can get my soon to be husband to help me out with decisions instead of leaving this all up to me, urgh.  Oh well I still love him.  Does anyone have any ideas for caterers or DJ's by chance?  I am totally unsure of ,any of these to even begin.  Let me know if you do. That would help me more than you can imagine! I will try to keep this more up to date as I go.  We are still in decision of colors due to the lack of agreement.  I won't even begin on this lol. It would defiantely give everyone a laugh.

Its been awhile since I have been on here......

Ok as some may know and some may not, a lot has been changed in our wedding planning.  I have to bump the wedding to a different date, due to finding out I am pregnant.  Yep, pregnant I am!!!! However I am not quite sure of a date right now until the middle of October when we can put down a deposit on a reception hall and find a date available to us then.  Its going to be difficult trying to plan this in the time frame we have but I am sure we will get it done!  Time frame meaning when we get Jakob for the summer and before he has to go back to Arizona. We want to be sure Jake is here of course! I will let everyone know as soon as I know something for sure.

I just had to share this.....my daughter, Alayna has been on the internet today for approximately an hour just looking at dresses for her and her sister and wedding decorations.  She is so excited she gets to help her momma plan this special day.  However her and Alexa can't agree on Alexa's dress, lol its funny. 

I have searched several websites today and checked out the dates of local bridal shows to attend but other than that not really much today.

Hope you all are having a great week!!!!

Monday August 2, 2010

Many have asked us what's the date or when are we getting married, well we finally have decided on a date.  June 18, 2011.  Some wonder why so long, some wonder why this date.......well one, we want it to be a date when Jakob, Chris's son can possibly be in it and here, another reason is it gives me time to plan and get the beautiful wedding I always wanted, and also financially it is best to be able to plan and pay for things a little at a time.

However......
I today started calling reception halls here locally and not doing the best with that date, but i have more to call so we will see where we stand later on when I can get ahold of more.  The ones i really wanted are already booked....=(.

But we will i am sure be able to find something, if not then we will have to try a different date i suppose.  I am so excited already and stressed too lol. I am sure as Kim Weadock says ...... will be fine, I have lots of help and support.  Love her, she is always so positive and can pull anyone out of a bad mood!!!!

The Engagement Day July 31, 2010

It was soooo out of the loop when this day arrived, I was definately not expecting it what so ever. I had been with my girls at my friend Krissy Lim's daughters birthday all day and came home around 4:30 pm. I grabbed the paper from outside and decided to sit down and read it. Chris was visiting his dad, well I thought he was when in reality he was at my parents asking my dad for permission to marry me. As I was reading the paper, Alayna and Alexa was playing the Wii right next to me, he came home. We talked a little and he stood up and said "Can I please have that paper?" I said, " Well hold on, I only have two pages to go and you can have it." and he replies "Please can i have that paper for just a minute?, I thought "well good lord, why on earth would he want my paper and not be able to just patiently wait for my to read these last two pages, obviously there is something he wants to read real bad in here, I guess I will just give it to him!!!! So I did, and he grabs the paper and then lays it on the couch, and I was like "What the heck?" He then said "Alesha Marie, I love you so much!" then got down on one knee and pulled out this ring box. I was ecstatic, and just covered my mouth and smiled soooo big. He says, "Will you marry me?" Alayna covered her face with her shirt and when Chris pulled it off she was all smiles and soooo happy. Alexa on the other hand was confused and had no clue what was going on. I of course said "OMG, YES!!!!!" and then he put the ring on my finger........that was one of the greatest moments in my life!!!!!
