Did I say yes to the dress? Well not yet. But, I sure had fun!

I went on my first wedding dress shopping trip in Davidson, North Carolina. Classic Bride was where I bought one of my favorite dresses (a silk Nicole Miller) so naturally I had to go back when planning my big day!
I tried on about 20 dresses in 3 hours and narrowed it down to 3. I am pretty sure I am going with a strapless, sweetheart neckline and a tight fitting bodice. I also favor the chapel or cathedral train to go along with a cathedral length veil. Silk is the fabric of choice (I cannot stand the taffeta). Here are some of the pretty dresses I tried on. Don't worry I didn't buy any today and I am going to keep looking in Atlanta and Dallas.

I'm Getting Married!

It has been a long time since I posted due to a crazy schedule! But I have some news...I'm engaged! I am so thrilled to be spending the rest of my life with the man I am so madly and deeply in love with. I have no doubt in my mind that were meant for each other; I knew the minute I met him that I was going to be with him (my roommate can attest to that!)
We fit each other perfectly. We are both very driven, family oriented, God loving people that were raised very similarly. We are two people with almost 900 miles between us brought together by God.

So now that I am engaged what's next? Planning of course!
I am going to plan an extravagant southern affair in New Orleans for our wedding. We are getting married at the Southern Oaks Plantation and our reception will be in their grand ballroom. Southern Oaks is known for their great service and wonderful Louisiana cuisine.

I have already made my invite list for the big day and compiled all the addresses. I am choosing to have a small wedding of 170 people. Now I just have to decide on what kind of save-the-dates to send. I love these from etsy! You send them like a post card...so presh! More on the wedding plans later including my wedding dress shopping last week!
