One Month Away!!!

After my two meltdowns this morning, I'm finally feel a little better! My sister gave me a pep talk earlier today and then she an mom surprised me with showing up with my wedding dress! My Mom picked it up from the tailors and tomorrow I will take it too the cleaners to get steamed. Their visit was short since they were running errands for the bridal shower on Sunday but, it was a good visit. I've been really stressing out a lot lately since we have a month to basically to pay for this whole wedding and I don't know how we're going to do it but, I guess we will. I did an email blast with a "$99 Photo Session" special, hoping to get additional photography business but, so far I have one appointment for it so far (thanks Julie). I hate that Drew and I have to stress about all of this when we should be enjoying every moment, instead we're more looking forward to May 16th when we can put all of this behind us! It really doesn't help the situation when you have money issues! Lucky for us, our vendors really like us, and they have bent over backwards for us, and it's truly appreciated it! I got my taxes done and that will bring in a little extra cash and it feels good to have them done!

Now, that my rant is done I can go on with my evening with Drew! He should be getting home from a long day of work. I don't know how he does it. He never stops working... weather it's at the office, on the phone, researching on the computer, he never stops. I love that he cares so much about the two of us and our future family! May 16th all bets are off and it is time to get pregnant! ;)

I just finished making the place cards that my nieces didn't get to finish and the a few of the table numbers. I swear those table numbers turned into much more of a project than I originally thought they were going to be but they look great. I hope to finish them tomorrow. I'm going to listen to my sister and Drew, and try and enjoy this last month of planning and get really excited about the wedding and our future!

"Cross Your Fingers!"

We met with the Photographer of my DREAMS!

So Drew and I drove down to Fairfax, VA to meet with Nicole from Sota Dzine Photography. It was a long drive but worth it! I've wanted to meet her for some time now! I really admire their work and would love to be as successful as them one day (and I will one day). Her home office was in her living room and her style is very similar to mine. She played us a DVD of their work and we looked through her amazing albums. I was already sold on them before we even walked in the door and now even more so. Drew likes their style as well and he wants to make me happy it's just they aren't cheap. The cheapest package they have is $5,500.00 and that includes 6 hours, one photographer, and a DVD of High-Res photos but, you're paying for their unbelievable talent so I think it's worth it! So, we're trying to fit it in the budget! She said her husband would be our photographer and he is the best out of the three of them. They have a background in fashion photography and he is a graphic designer. Two roads I wish I went down, do you see why I like them so much? I really hope we are able to have them photograph are wedding because I know they would absolutely amazing work and they are my best fit!
