We have officially dived into full on wedding planning. :-) I'm smiling now, but it's not always smiles in the world of wedding planning. For those of you who don't know, my Maid of Honor Christie is my best friend of 15 years and also happens to be a wedding planner up in Oregon. She just sold her very successful wedding planning business because her and her husband have started a family and added beautiful little Noah to their lives. Ok, I'm digressing.
Anyways, on to the point of the blog, every since I was little I've been dreaming of my wedding and I knew "exactly what I wanted". And since Christie and I have a cardinal rule that we must see each other every 6 months, I have been fortunate enough to experience some wedding planning first hand. And boy have I seen some fun brides to say the least!
On one of my many trips out to Oregon, I had the pleasure of escorting Christie on a floral appointment with one of her brides. Of course I was there as her "assistant". :-) Anyways, I proceeded to watch Christie patiently help this very indesicisive bride with her flowers. I have never heard so many "I don't know" answers in my life. We left the appointment and I asked Christie how in the world the girl could not know what she wanted. She told me that it actually happens to so many brides that it's amazing. I, of course, was so sure that I knew exactly what I wanted.
Well, cut to, January 2008 and Andrea has officially become the absolute most indesicisive bride to exist! :-( All I do is second guess myself. But of course, all I have to do is call Christie and she is so good at calming me down and helping me piece together the millions and millions of things that I have running through my head. She is the best friend anyone could have, hence me asking her to be my Maid of Honor because I could never imagine anyone else standing next to me that day.
I had to make this a whole seperate paragraph. Speaking of Christie's amazing job at Maid of Honor. THE GIRL HAS DECIDED THAT SHE IS GOING TO FLY OUT HERE FOR 24 HOURS JUST TO HELP ME AND CALM ME DOWN!!!!! I know! She is amazing!
Anyways, enough of my whining. Cause I know that everything will come together and it will be a beautiful day. And most importantly, we will be married!!!
And on the wedding note, we have a fun filled packed weekend. Tomorrow consists of wedding shopping with my mom. I know, we'll take lots of tissues for her!! And then Sunday, is our big engagement picture day! Yay for pictures! I love them! :-)
Ok for now....everyone have a safe and fun weekend!
Stay tuned!
-Me :-)

Ahhhhhhhh!!!! BFFE!!!! I am soooooooooooo blessed to have you in my life!!! And SO HONORED to be standing by your side on the big day. It's coming up so fast!! YAY!!!!!! I can't wait to see you this weekend...we are going to have a blast!! Love you lots!
I guess, it is all random. I was never interested in thinking or planning about my wedding but I went crazy looking for NYC wedding venues and wedding dresses before my wedding. It just automatically brings in light and makes you work right for the special day.
