    Chapter Ten* …My Wedding Dress-Tent

    I know it’s been a little while since I posted the last chapter, but I hardly have time to breathe these days, let alone sit down and write. But, I promised a friend last week that I would post the next one before the week was out, so here I am. :) I last told you about choosing our wedding invitations and the “joy” of drafting our guest list. Once the invitations were chosen, there was really only one big task left–the dress hunt. Now you may be wondering–what?!?! Only one big task left? What about the photographer? Cake? Flowers? DJ? YES. And I promise I didn’t leave anything out……

    Chapter Nine* The Invitations

    I last told you about our “Almost Fight“. I was happy to put those big discussions behind us and start working on something a little more fun–our invitations!! I was a little apprehensive about this task for two reasons: first, invitations can be REALLY expensive. Second, my family is HUGE. The “Guest List” was not a task I wanted to undertake! haha! After shopping around a little online we decided to do them ourselves to cust costs. I ended being REALLY glad that we did this as we had complete control over style, text, font, detail, spelling, and best of all–PRICE. I’ll tell you how much they cost a little…

    Chapter Eight* …the "Almost Fight"

    Up until this point everything I have written about in Our Story* has all be lovely and rosy. I’ll bet that at some point you probably wondered if I’m exaggerating, or if after three years my memory has chosen to eliminate any rougher parts of our relationship. Well, let me reassure you that I have recounted the first four months of our relationship (yes, to this point we had only been together for FOUR months…) as accurately as I possibly can. I’m really proud of the fact that in nearly 3.5 years we have never had a real “fight”–you know, the disagreement/argument that usually leads to raised voices, saying things…

    Chapter Seven* The Wedding Planning Begins…

    I ended the last post describing what was going on in my life as I attempted to focus on my last month of school while simultaneously planning our wedding. As you can imagine, it didn’t work out so well. After we booked the temple and the church for the reception, I put everything else on hold while I waded through my first batch of university exams. Once those were out of the way I poured my heart into my application to transfer universities. Even though my marks were okay, I was terrified that I wouldn’t get in and the Hubster and I would have to make some major changes in…

    Chapter Six* March Madness

    As I begin school tomorrow, I thought it was a good time to pick up where I left off in Our Story*… I always need a good reason to procrastinate homework. :) I know it’s been a while–I’m sorry–but for those of you who have been patiently waiting I promise I’ll take you all the way to our wedding day in a few posts. If you’re just visiting my blog for the first time, for the past few months I’ve been slowly telling the story of how the Hubster and I met, fell in love and were married within 8 months from the day we met. You can catch up…
