Oh moneh moneh moneh... MONEH!!

Oh wow...


So my mom sat me down and told me that she doesn't believe that we will have enough money to get/do everything that we need to do for this wedding, which bummed me out. But then she asked me if there was any chance that I would be okay in going with my dad to talk to our family friends about borrowing.. $3,000!!!!

In my head, I was screaming that there could be NO possible way that they would allow us to borrow THAT much money, but I know that they have let us borrow money before. I am really scared that 1. I won't be able to have enough money for this wedding, and that 2. if I do get enough money, that my day won't be amazing as I had always dreamed it would be... I donno... I guess I won't know unless I try, and talk to anyone that I know that can lend me the money..

I hate asking people for help, especially when it comes to money. I get all awkward, and I don't want people to look down on me about not being able to afford something.

Well, anyways... I will report back what has happened when I get done! :)

My List Of Things To Do...

My To Do List


So, I seriously have to admit that I am a complete and total PROCRASTINATOR!!
Like, no joke. I have been engaged for almost two years, and I am just NOW planning my wedding... I think it's because I thought that I had all the time in the world, but now that my world is coming to reality, I am seeing that I needed to get my planning done LONG before now.

What I am finding out, is that a lot of people (especially those who are in the wedding party) will tell me that this is my wedding, and that if I choose something that someone happens to not like, that they should just deal with it, or not be apart of the wedding. Well.. those same people are usually the ones that start to complain, or tell me what I should or shouldn't do.

For Robert and I's wedding, I wanted to be fair to the others that wanted to stand by me in choosing their dresses, and even who they were going to walk down the aisle with, but as I started to realize, a lot of them didn't communicate with me. Then when they did, it was always a complaint. Either the dress was the wrong color, or the dress was the wrong length, or the person they were walking down the aisle with, was not who they wanted to walk down with. But you know what? I can change the whole dress situation, but for the people who are in my wedding party, they can only walk down with who is available.
 I have also been told who I should or shouldn't have help me plan my wedding. I don't want to say anything to them, because they are important to me and I care about what they have to say. But really? I am having to plan this with little to no help, and you are telling me who I can or can't have help me? Bish, you need to check yourself.

This is my TO DO list, people who are on it will NOT change unless the decision is made by myself or my fiance. If things in this list DOES decide to change, it is because of my choice, not someone elses.
