We are at the point in our wedding planning where stress is trying to make an appearance. Time is running out, money is running out, and it's tempting to get overwhelmed by it all. Well, I said it when we first got engaged, and I mean it now. I will not lose my mind planning this wedding. I have been through a lot in my life. There was even a time when I had stopped believing in love. I thought I couldn't love. I thought I couldn't be loved. And then I met Terrence and discovered that God had a … [Read more...]

When Terrence and I first started planning our wedding, I wasn't convinced that save the dates were necessary. I mean, isn't that what invitations were for? After doing a little more investigating, it became clear why Save the Dates were so important. That realization, of course, came with a task (as most wedding realizations do), so Terrence and I scoured the Wedding Paper Divas site to choose just the right save the date for our big day. Take a look at what we found, and find out why you'll … [Read more...]

Well, Folks, I have great news to share. I bought my wedding dress last week! Oh my goodness, y'all, it is so gorgeous! The best part of all, though? I was able to get it for half of what we had budgeted for a dress! It was really such a blessing. Three of my bridesmaids and I went to Alfred Angelo Bridal Salon in Cherry Hill, New Jersey last week. That's the designer that I won five bridesmaids dresses from. I wasn't really expecting to leave with a dress for myself. I mean, I had no plans of … [Read more...]

Ladies, I have some wedding contest success to share. I won 5 bridesmaids dresses from Alfred Angelo! How awesome is that?

When my fiancé proposed to me a little over a month ago, it wasn't as if I didn't expect it. In fact, it was just hours before he popped the big question that I was chatting with my girlfriend about how I had the feeling that he might propose, but he wasn't acting weird enough for me to be sure. Then, minutes before Valentine's Day, he asked me to marry him in a simple, yet extraordinary, way. The next day, when I was able to speak again, I asked why he didn't wait a few more moments until it … [Read more...]
