My boyfriend proposed........yep thats right proposed. It wasnt like all romantic and gushy. It was out of the blue and totally Adam style which makes it all the more better. So whithin a couple of days Im asking what date did you have in mind. I kinda figured hed gotten the proposal out it might take him awhile to nail down a specific date. Nope not my over procrastinating boyfriend um er finace. June 6th 2009.....yeah 2009. I have 3 and 1/2 months to plan a wedding. I can do Im crafty Im organized and I have lots of awesome friends and family that would love to help.
So Yesterday due to a snowstorm Kaylee was home and we decided to head to Brainerd to look at wedding gowns and bridesmaid gown etc. I am having both of my daughters stand up for me. We went over to VIP Bridal. They were awesome and I found the perfect dress for myself and the girls. We had a little lunch and went to look for wedding stuff......you know cups plates decorations etc. Now Im having my wedding at home so Im doing all the creations myself. I made my bouquet and the girls's too. Silk flowers all at 40% off at Joannes fabrics. Ribbon too. We sat and tied little decorations to 48 bubbles bottles and we put together 8 little brandy snifters with decorations in them and also 4 fish bowls with candles and decorations in them last night. Im no Martha Stewart but I think they look awesome. Simple and homemade and pretty. PERFECT!! Of course most of this is lost on Adam as I showed him my creations one at a time when I completed them. I told him simple and I guess his idea of simple was me wearing a gunny sac and maybe picking a flower out of the garden to hold onto. I dont know. He kept saying hmmmm thought we wernt going to spend alot of money. UMMM ok I thought I did really good. Honestly 85% of my decorations and supplies I got at the dollar store. I outfitted us with a complete dinner, and cake servive, plates, bowls, napkins, glasses, serving dishes, coffe cups, salt and pepper shakers, serving spoons, all my bubble bottels and decorations for them, my other outside decorations, card basket, table clothes, and numerous other things along with some sani wipes because lets face it stuff is dirty for drum roll....................$90 pretty darn good huh? I spent ...............$55 on flowers...... $70 on jewlry for me and the girls ...yeah I know awesome!!! Ok Ok so I did spend $1,000 on dresses, shoes, headpeices but I still dont think thats bad really? Do you?
