Well, as the line between demolition and destruction blurs right before my eyes there are a few wedding things I had to tackle. I have picked a wedding planner (who I adore) and I have picked my girls (also adore). Last night I asked two (YES TWO) of my bestest pals to be my maid of honor.
I knew that everyone would say yes but I was nervous to ask these wonderful girls to be in my wedding. David of course BAM BAM BAM had his list and his dudes asked the night we got engaged (guys sigh) I on the other hand knew who I wanted to stand beside me on my big day but wasn't sure how to ask...is there an etiquette about this? I am pretty sure I did it wrong?! Anyway, I wanted to ask everyone in person which I accomplished with my high school girls Whitney and Jenni while they were in Wrightsville for labor day (they said YES YES and we proceeded to drink 29387273 bottles of Andre) perfect!
Then I saw Kate in Charlotte shortly after we got engaged and as we were thumbing through the bridal mags she got me I asked her to be my maid! ha She squealed yes and we hugged it out!
Welp, I called my step sis and asked her too and she said HOORAY YES! ok got it!
We had a big weekend in early Oct where we started the demo and then had a big brunch with my mom, stepdad Pat and dad, stepmom Billie and David's parents and also Lindsey (wp) and her hubby Gray! I was nervous about HER meeting my parents I told her I felt like we were dating and I had to introduce her to the family! Phew everyone loved each other and we visited a venue on Wrightsville Beach that I adore...my #1 choice. (info to come about that once we get it finalized)
I had to call Erin and Taryn because I was bursting at the seams!! Erin is my college roommate and fellow MD native. We ran together and lived together for 2 years of college. We have been through tons and I am thrilled and blessed to have her in my life. Taryn and I were freshman year roommates in the dorms and I was in her wedding Aug 2009. She is my closest married pal and I am expecting lots of married life advice (not really). I am going to call David's "sister"-childhood friend this weekend to join my crazy group of maids and then my group is complete I really feel like it is a great mix of high school girls with college girls, sisters and after college "adult" friendships. It will be a very fun supportive group and I am so excited.
We have the wedding party picked out, the venue we love and a wonderful planner-our two year engagement seems to be off to a great start!
BACK TO DEMO LAND I GO!
we bought a new front door tonight, we have dry wall to hang, and I have so much to start moving this weekend. Deep breaths as we toe the line between demo and destruction...am I really going to move into our "new" house? here goes nothin...
