My Wedding Dress

Kelly over at Kelly's Korner is hosting Show Us Your Life every Friday and this week's is "Show Us Your Wedding Dress". Head on over to Kelly's Korner to see more beautiful wedding dresses!!

I only went to two different stores to try on wedding dresses. The first store didn't have a single dress in my price range, so I didn't stay there long. The second store was called Bride Beautiful in Atlanta, GA. They had some beautiful dresses. I tried on six or seven dresses, but the first one that I tried on was the one that I purchased. I loved my wedding dress, and I got so many compliments on the dress. I thought that it was very flattering for my shape and size, and it was perfect! As of now, I wouldn't go back and trade it for a different dress, but I'm sure in a few years when styles have changed that I might change my mind. :)

Now for some photos of my dress:

Last Single Night Out...Yay!!

I've been meaning to post some of the photos of the events leading up to the wedding, and I kept forgetting. When I posted my earlier post about this weekend, and I added a photo from my Bachelorette Party...it made me start thinking about how much fun I had. I had the BEST Bachelorette Party that a girl could ever ask for. I have the most amazing friends, and they did exactly what I wanted.

We went to one of my favorite restaurants for dinner and afterward, we went back and I opened up gifts and had drinks and ice cream cake! Then we went downtown for a night of fun and finally crashed around 4:00 AM. I can't say it enough, but I have some really awesome friends. Here are some photos from the night!

Sisters!! The best party planner...EVER!!

Some random guys bike that they dared me to get on...I did it!!

My NEW Sisters, Ashley & Anna!

It's My Friday!!

So, one of my closest friends is getting married on Saturday, and I'm SO excited and happy for her.

Amanda and I have only been friends since June 2007, and we met through Grant. When I met Grant, he spent all of his weekends hanging out with the same group of friends, and they were all very close and very "cliquish", so it was very difficult to break my way into the group. The girlfriends of his buddies didn't care for me much, and it was a tough thing for me, because I've always been liked by most people. I didn't meet Amanda right away, because she was never in town when I was visiting and hanging out with Grant's friends, but we went to one of the friend's weddings one Saturday evening and Amanda was at the wedding. She immediately came up and introduced herself to me and told me that it was great to meet me, and we've been friends ever since.

She lived in Athens and so did I, but Grant didn't...so, we would hang out during the week when I couldn't see Grant. We would go to the gym together, go to the mall together and cook dinner together. We had some great memories, and we became close friends very quickly. She was in my wedding on May 2nd, and she is now getting married to one of Grant's closest friends. I am so excited for them, but I'm also very sad. Max, Amanda's fiance, lives in South Carolina and works on a Plantation, so she has moved to South Carolina with him. It's tough, because we spent so much time together and so one another so often even after Grant and I were married. She was my one steadfast gym partner. Now, she's moved, and our relationship is bound to change. I know that we will remain friends forever, but it'll be so different. She is now three and a half hours away, and I miss her already even though she's only been moved for a week. :)

It's going to be a great weekend. We have the bridal luncheon downtown tomorrow at this awesome restaurant, manicures and pedicures following lunch, then the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner tomorrow evening. Then, Saturday will be filled with wedding preparations! I'll post photos when I get back to the office on Monday. :) I'll close with a few pictures of Amanda and I from mine and Grant's wedding.

I'm Back...with Wedding Preview Photos!

So, it's been awhile since I've posted, and I felt like starting over on my blog, so I deleted all of my previous posts. I'm not sure what made me do it, but I just wanted to start out fresh and have a clean slate to begin posting about our wedding, honeymoon and future!

I'll start off by posting the "Sneak" Preview photos from our photographer that we received last week. We should have the remainder of our photos by the end of this week, and I can't wait to see them. I know that they will be awesome!

Let me say that we had the best photographers EVER! Our photographers came up the night before the wedding, and they came to the rehearsal, so they could get a look around and see where they could get some shots. Then they met us at the salon at 10:00 AM on Saturday to begin photos, and they stayed until we left on that evening at 10:00 PM. The wedding was wonderful! It rained, so we had an inside wedding which was a little disappointing, but it was still beautiful and nothing went wrong on our special day. It was all I could ever ask for and more...
