The Beginning..

Hey guys!! Well, here's the scoop, my name's Shirley and this is my life! DUMDUMDUUUUMMMMM!!! Well, this is the start of my new life, my new MARRIED life! At the moment, it's wedding madness, I am getting married on 11/11/11 so technically, my new life hasn't started yet but I hope you enjoy reading about the craziness of getting this wedding done and stick with me as I embark on this new chapter of my life! For all you newly engaged couples, I hope in sharing this final month of planning and STRESS will help you when you get to this moment in your wedding plans... YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!! Felling unsure and a bit scared? Don't worry, it's natural! After all, you're planning on spending the rest of your life with this person, and you want your day to be remembered vividly as you age together and celebrate your anniversaries 20+ years into the future, right? I can only hope that everything goes perfectly for both myself and any of you who are reading my blog, but alas, knowing that life isn't always perfect, let's try to be realistic and not freak over the small stuff :) Is it really going to matter if the accent flowers aren't the same EXACT shade of purple as the bridesmaid dresses? Or any of the minor details that bombard us brides that retailers try to convince us are "important".. (like EVERYTHING needing to be personalized with your names? Sorry guys, I highly doubt your guests are going to care of the napkins are personalized..) Let's remind ourselves of whats really important, the celebration of love (even if you wanna kill him sometimes when he doesn't seem as interested in talking about wedding details as you are.. ahem...) and the unity of two people as one! Remember.. there is life after D-day, this ONE day, though important, is not the ONLY day of your lives together, its just the beginning...or at least that's what I keep on telling myself instead of going bridezilla on everyone! XOXO!
