6 more days!!!

Six more days until we officially tie the knot!! we are so excited!!

(please ignore my non-existing eyebrows-lol.)
We thought we were ahead of the game and had all of our ducks in a row but I swear the closer the wedding gets, the more little things I realize need to be done.  AHHH! I guess I am starting to get some wedding jitters, not in a bad way though.  More like, I can't believe we are finally getting married after 4 years of dating.  Almost like, I never thought this day would come and now it finally has!!! who would have thought, two high school sweet hearts, would fall in love, and finally marry....with a happy ever after....:)

Countdown...9 more days...

Nervous Jitters?  Only nine more days until we are man & wife and we have never been happier or more excited about the merging of our two families and one life.  For some reason everywhere I go, everyone asks, "are you nervous yet?" what am I supposed to be nervous about?  It makes me nervous thinking I am not nervous and maybe should be.lol.  He and I are only in our twenties, but every where we go people think we are a lot older.  I think its because we dress like old people and asleep by 9.  None of that staying up and partying all hours of the night and doing dumb stuff to get in trouble.  We are completely content on living a quiet life, not to be mistaken for boring :)


This is my most favorite picture of Josh & I at his sisters wedding almost two years ago.  :)

Lots of hugs & love, Stephanie :)

Bahama Breeze :)

I couldn't be more excited to tell you that my wedding in only 11 days away, 11!!!!!  I cant believe it either.  I am not really feeling any nervous jitters that everyone keeps asking me about, more just overwhelmed with enthusiasm and overjoyed at the thought of finally marrying the love of my life, my high school sweetheart.  I never in a million years thought I would find someone so perfect for me, so soon in life, but he really is my rock and I thank God for him everyday.  He is a truly great man...with that being said we are almost more excited about the Bahama getaway than the actual wedding itself (bad i know)lol.  But we are in desperate need of a vacation!! This wedding has really ran us ragged.
Anyways, here is a picture of us happy and well rested on our last cruise about a year ago...

we can not wait to be there again!! we love cruises, they are the way to go if you like to travel.

Huges, Stephanie :)

...& I think to myself, what a wonderful world...

Song choices for the wedding! AHHH! So many songs to choose, who knew I liked so many.  :)
when picking wedding songs its important to remember first- yourself and future spouse, second- the two joining families, and third- your guest.  When picking songs for my wedding I had to be very caution as not to offend anyone as well as have a well rounded selection of song choices.  In my fiance & I's case, he is a little bit country  I am a lot into the 60's decade.  It goes without saying, our taste in music clashes but fortunately he gave me free rein to pick out whatever music my little heart desires :)

Prelude song(when my bridesmaids walk down the aisle):
What a wonderful world- Louis Armstrong
Bride song(untraditional here comes the bride song for when I walk down the aisle):
Marry Me-Train
Song to walk back down the aisle to:
This will be- Natalie Cole
Reception entrance song:
You're my best friend- Queen
First dance:
Can't take my eyes off of you-Frankie Valli and the 4 Seasons
Father/Daughter dance:
Cinderella- Steven Curtis Chapman
Mother/Son dance:
A mother's song-T Carter
Cake cutting song:
1,2,3,4- Plain White T's
Bridal Party Dance:
Celebration-Kool and the Gang
Final Song:
So long farewell goodbye- big bad voodoo daddy

Hope this helps if you are in the market for a good wedding song.  It took many trial and error attempts before getting the right mixture of songs.

Cheers, Stephanie :)
