I have my wedding planed to a “T”. I know the dress i want the length of the aisle of my church so my train can be as long. lol. now, if i can only find a husband. my boyfriend and i live together and have a beautiful 1 yr old son. but, we do not make a marriage material for each other. he has asked several times but i keep saying “no”. i just do not intend on getting married, to get divorced. and we would be heading out the church to the judge.
How to have the wedding of my dreams
How I did it: 1. Keep the main thing the main thing. AT the end of the day you will be married - and it won't matter if something didn't match or the cake was late, etc. The point of the whole day is celebrating the MARRIAGE - not the wedding itself. Keeping the focus on what's really important cuts down on the stress.
2. Respect the wishes of your family (esp. if they're paying) but don't forget that its YOUR wedding.
3. Make it personal. Bring in elements that you love and that have significance for you.
4. Use the talents of friends and family. My aunt and uncle did our lovestory video... a friend did my makeup in exchange for pictures for her portfolio... a good friend ran the sound, etc.

it all went so fast that i need the video to be ready already so i can find out what happened at my wedding!!
and it really was almost perfect, fairy-tale like even with the sandcastle cake and everything. everyone said they had a wonderful time:) even the photographer and the videographer were dancing!
so, barring a few incidents that could’ve-been-major-but there was nothing that could be done so i had to take a deep breath and made the best of it, i’d have to say that i can cross this one off the list!
I finally got a ring from my husband. My mom bought our first rings for us, cause she had a hook up. My original ring was stolen last year when some fools broke into our house.
As soon as my husband gt home from Iraq, we went and picked out a ring. It was funny because the lady at the jewelry store thought we were just getting engaged. After 2 months of waiting, I went and picked up my ring the other day.
I love it, it’s simple, yet bold and most of all because it came from my husband.
Today is the day I start a new chapter in my life. It’s a day that I never thought would come; my prince had come to take me away. The perfect man that would fulfill all of my needs giving me everything I needed and more, the man that I asked God for every night when I prayed.
“Well it’s all on you from now on,” My mother said as she helped me with my gown. She was reassuring me again that I was all grown up and ready to make this happen. Taking a deep breath and looking in the mirror I realized she was right. I talked to my maid of honor, a friend through life’s journeys, looking back in time. I was still shocked that I would be married at the end of the night.
Walking down the aisle with my father by my side, I felt more confident with my decision. Then I saw him, my beautiful chocolate prince. He smiled at me with pride, ready for me to be his wife. With every step that brought me closer and closer, my love for him grew stronger and stronger. As I reached his side, something took over my body making me tense.
I wanted this moment to be frozen in time forever, with our love combined I felt I could conquer the world. As I looked into his big brown innocent eyes I said my vows with a passion that I never felt before. I knew this man had captured my heart, body, and soul. I stood motionless as he lifted my veil to kiss his new bride. A tear fell from my eye as he held my head and gently kissed my lips, knowing that our love would last forever more.
My husband and I got married 5 years ago. We didn’t have enough time or money to have a big wedding, so we had a small quick wedding at my aunt’s house. It was such short notice that his family wasn’t able to attend. I always wanted to have a bigger wedding, with the whole wedding party and both of our families. I wanted to do this for our 5th wedding anniversary, but he was in Iraq this past year. I bought a wedding magazine, it has a mini planner inside and some pretty good ideas. I don’t know when we could do another wedding, I really want it to be nice. I mostly want photos; the families at the table laughing during the reception. I want to have the great memories to go with the great marriage.
