When I was a little girl I can remember wondering what kind of job I would have when I grow up. I never could quite figure it out and now I know that is because a 10 year old doesn't know what a consultant is. One thing I never really wondered about was my wedding. In fact I only remember having two distinct thoughts about my wedding as a child. The first was wondering about who I would marry. The second was a firm decision that when I get married the ceremony won't start until the afternoon because I do not want to wake up early.
It turns out that my 10 year old self would be very proud of me. I am engaged to a wonderful man that I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with and if I want to I will be able to sleep in until noon on the day of my wedding.
This lack of wedding planning as a child has turned into somewhat of a problem as I plan my nuptials. I am told that most girls spend their whole lives planning their wedding and I am having to stuff all of that planning into 7 months. To resolve this problem I have the very good fortune of marrying someone that is excited about planning the wedding. Unfortunately this does not help when it comes to picking out the dress. For this problem I turned to my family and MOH (maid of honor). Here they are, the crew that kept me sane:

When I say I could not have done it without them I am not just being nice. If I hadn't had their support I probably would have found the nearest dark corner and curled up for a couple of hours until some sales person had to close the store. Dress shopping was VERY overwhelming for me and this group was able to make me smile, take hundreds of pictures, remove my ugly fitbit for those hundreds of pictures, and field thousands of text messages from my lonely fiancé. On top of all that they even picked out dresses while I was hiding... I mean going to the bathroom and spoke for me when I ran out of adjectives.
It might have been exhausting but really I felt very blessed because I was surrounded by people I love that were helping me celebrate a very important milestone in my life.
So, no pictures will be posted of the dress but everyone can rest easy knowing that the decision has been made and I could not be more excited about the result! We are one step closer to GETTING MARRIED!!!
