Thoughts from an Engaged Gal!
- All of the comments and well wishes that were left on my post yesterday were SO heartfelt and kind and I appreciated every single one of them. I cannot wait to use this blog as my springboard and journal to document this wild ride I'm about to be on.
- Bridal magazines are really fun - and I felt giddy checking out with one today!
- The Bridal diet has already begun, and I'm already hungry...which I'm assuming means I'm doing something right!
- The date we are thinking for the big day is somewhere between June - October 2013 (but ideally, September)
- I created a separate, private pintrest so that I can pin all of my wedding ideas without ruining all of the fun! You probably won't see me on my public pintrest for a while....
- I wish I could just think about wedding stuff all day!
- It's so weird to use the words, "fiance, husband-to-be, wedding, Mrs., and in-laws" in my sentences
- I'm allergic to lilies....and the bouquet of flowers that Joel prepared for his proposal - and then we brought home have left me covered with hives.
- I am obsessed with my engagement ring. Like, obsessed
- Okay......so, here we go!
Congrats! I'll have so much fun following along. We just got married three weeks ago, and its a crazy ride! Ps. My name is also Tess lol.
ReplyDeleteLove love love this post. I was just married in January and here are some of my thoughts on your thoughts; I never really got the bridal diet down; I did think about my wedding planning every single day all day long; I did have to save good bye to my bank account; my bank account still has not recovered four months later but I have no regrets; I almost never used the word "fiance" because I felt pretentious doing so; I forbid my husband from smashing cake in my face and we opted for just a nice, sweet cake cutting moment; I love love love a sparkler exit! I am so so excited for your wedding planning!
ReplyDeleteVERY excited for all of the wedding-planning related posts. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteI am so so so so excited for you (and also, your intended wedding dates are my "hypothetical at this point" wedding dates). Will you laugh at me when I get engaged in 6 months and have to do everything in fast-forward? Ugh.
ReplyDeleteBut anyways, this is about YOU. That sparkler exit is 50% of the reason I want to get married, love love.
Got off track again. Which bridal magazines did you buy? I too am obsessed.
And you should be obsessed with your ring, it's perfect.
