So I'm sitting here daydreaming about weddings, going from website to website saving pictures of whatever may catch my eye, and I'm thinking... could we really have a wedding?! There are so many beautiful wedding items to be found on the 'net for inspiration! I could possibly do something...
I may actually be able to have the wedding that I've been dreaming of!
It would take lots of planning, budgeting, and patience. Hmmm.... 2 out of those 3 are things I am not good at. Budgeting? Ha! Patience? Double Ha! I may need to recruit some friends/family to help me here.
I'm a fairly crafty person when the mood strikes me, I could probably make most of what I would need; bouquets, centerpieces, decor, etc...., if, and this is a big if, I could slowly start buying the materials I would need. But then there is the food, the alcohol, the music, the photographer... how could I ever possibly afford all that?
I need a plan.
I need a budget.
I need a better paying job!
I need to slow down before I get myself in over my head before I know for sure if something like this is even possible!
But who knows, maybe this blog will go from wishful thinking to a wedding planning blog....

Dream Dress!!!!
OMG... I almost cried when I saw this dress!!!
This is the dress I want!!!!
I found it by doing a Google shopping search for "pink wedding gown". It isn't exactly the gown I had envisioned, or had picked out before, but it is just too beautiful to resist!!!
I MUST HAVE THIS GOWN!!!
According to the website, the gowns available are all custom-made, which in itself is amazing, but the prices are what really impressed me. I have no idea if there would be extra costs with the customizations, but I intend to find out!
This gown in particular is being sold on Etsy (gotta LOVE Etsy!!) and there is a link on the Etsy page to the shop with more gowns and info. I'm providing the link to both for future reference.
Esty Summer Wedding Dress
Bellina Bridal
I plan on contacting the shop to get more details and I will post more as I find out.

What Dreams May Come
I have spent a lot of time fantasizing about what my wedding would be like for the past, ohhhh, 2 years or so.
Well, honestly, it's been a lot longer than that. I'm turning 34 this year (but don't tell anyone that! As far as my age is concerned, I plan on staying 28 forever!). I have thought about, planned, and re-planned my wedding day since I was a little girl.
But in the past 2 years I have put more thought into it than ever.
Why?
Because I'm in LOVE!
(And while I'm being completely honest here, let me share a few other details about me. I've been married before. But I was young (18! Gah! What was I thinking??!!), ready to "grow up" and play house. I was also pregnant, and in the next few years had 3 other children. Yep. A total of 4 little (but not so little anymore) bundles of joy. Obviously things didn't work out, it's in the past, and I don't want to dwell on it.
Three and a half years ago I met, and fell in love with, the man of my dreams. I do believe he is my soul mate, my twin flame, the man that fate planned for me to grow old with. And although he would undoubtedly argue about it, he is perfect.
We live together now with a full house. The two of us, his son, my 3 daughters, and my dad. It's not always easy(especially with my father!), we have our ups and downs, but I wouldn't want to miss a minute of it!
We are not, however... technically, engaged yet. At least not in the sense of having a proposal, a ring, and a date set. But it's inevitable. We have discussed it and it's what we both want. There are just a few.... ahem.... responsibilities we have to deal with first.)
I don't care as much as I did as a little girl about having a big wedding. I would marry him in an instant with nothing but an official with a certificate. Standing in a shack wearing a t-shirt, jeans, and flip-flops, with no one in the world knowing that (with the exception of the birth of my children) the most monumental, exciting, amazing event was happening for me right that moment!
I would be lying though if I said didn't want a dream wedding with all the trimmings. Of course I want that! I'm a girlie girl! What girlie girl doesn't want to get all dressed up and feel like a princess for a day?
But there are more obstacles in our way than I think we could ever hurdle to make the dream wedding a reality. Not the least of which being that this will be a second wedding for both of us. It seems to be the general consensus of most people that second weddings should be handled "discreetly", no frills, no beautiful wedding gown, no party to celebrate the new couple. At least that's how most of my family feels. I don't think it's supposed to matter that neither of us had a "real" wedding our first times around.
It doesn't matter.
I will still imagine what my wedding day would be like. I will pick out my beautiful gown, my flowers, music, and the most amazing wedding cake! I will decide what colors I would use, who my bridemaids would be, and where the ceremony will take place. I will still smile every time I close my eyes and imagine the look on his face when he sees me for the first in my wedding gown.
It doesn't matter that it's something that will never happen. This is MY dream. That's something no one can take away.
