Still Going Strong

I have been keeping up on my workouts since I got engaged. I have a goal weight set, and I am only 10 lbs away from reaching it. 10 lbs in 5 months... not too bad. If someone wants to help me with a good stress relief workout I would appreciate it

The Script Dilema

I decided to sit and try to start writing our script, and oh jeez what  a task this will be. Neither of us is religious so I that makes searching for script ideas difficult. Every google search ends up with a mess of blogs with advice on how to start writing the script, but I can't seem to  find anything useful. It is overwhelming and I don't like it.. This is such a big task and I don't want to regret forgetting something or making it to long or too short, not making sense. There is just a lot at stake.
Scott was the officiant for his sisters wedding a year and a half ago and the script was beautiful. Seems like a lot to live up to. It also doesn't make it easy when my family is very "catholic" but I also have to remember that it's our ceremony and we need it to be symbolic of us as a married couple and not worry about everyone else's expectations.
If someone who wrote their own script wants to send some help either in words of encouragement or with some help please it would be appreciated

Registering

Tonight Scott and I went and registered, my first mistake was letting Scott have the scanner (I know I should know better, but oh well) Since we have been together for almost 5 years and living together for 4 years we already have alot of stuff, but time for some upgrades :)

Scott thought this hat was cute... I disagree

Make your own veil

I found this and thought I would share it with my wedding friends I will definitely be trying this. The link on here takes you step by step on how to make your own veil, a way cheaper solution then buying one, and you can personalize it with beads or ribbon.

Helping Hand

Today I helped out a close friend with her invitations (her wedding date is July 4th, 2012) It was such a big stress relief to help out with something that wasn't for my wedding, lol!! I loved it, and it just further more reminded me of why I want to get into event coordinating. I am so glad that Kimmi asked me to help, and even more glad that she loved the invitation idea I came up with. After about 4 1/2 hours of work we got her invitations and RSVP cards done and stuffed in the envelopes! Here is some pics of us hard at work.

Forever and Always

This song is very sad, but also very beautiful. I encourage all of you to listen to it, this is what love and marriage is all about. It makes me cry every time, just a warning!

Our Fairy Tale

A friend of mine that I have known since she was like 6 years old decided to write a little fairy tale for Scott and I, since we have this long standing joke that she is my love child (adopted)
My name: Rose
Scott: Marvin
Shelby: Marie

without further ado
Once upon a dream ago there was a lovely princess named Rose, this lovely princess was engaged to be married to the most handsome prince of the land, his name was Marvin. Now see before they had met Rose knew she was to be engaged to a prince with the name of Marvin, nervous before meeting her prince she turned to Miss Marie. Now Miss Marie was a honest human being who had her fare share of mix ups when it came to relationships of all sorts. And she told the lovely Rose that this was the perfect man for her. At last the prince and princess met, it was love at first sight. Miss Marie had been correct. And Rose couldn't be happier. But as time went by things got a little sticky in Miss Marie's life, so the wonderful Marvin and Rose adopted her as there love child. And they all lived happily ever after.

Our little fairy tale. :)

Paper Party

Sunday was my Paper Party, and it was a success!! I had alot of fun. My mom missed out, but I am sure as it get's closer to the wedding there will be plenty for her to help out with. In attendance I had Scott's mom Kim, Ms. Brittney 2, Scott's grandma, and my two sisters. We got all 80 invites done, and stuffed as well as half of the ceremony bells. It only took us 31/2 hours. I am sure that everyone who went to this will be screening my calls when I need any future help. ;) I am so thankful for all of the amazing people I have in my life who have been helping me every step of the way! Here are some photo's taken from this exciting event!! I recommend having one of these, it was such an amazing bonding experience and a huge stress relief for me :) hehe!!
