It's official.

On Saturday, Eric and I went out to the place we are getting married and paid our non-refundable deposit. March 10, 2013, I will become a Mrs.

I told him that even if I get sick of him, we're still throwing a party because I am not wasting that money lol.

It's gorgeous. My mom actually works in the HOA office there, so I'm getting some killer discounts. The whole wedding, (for 60 people,) should be around $5k total.

I'll be coming towards the camera from the door on the left

Owen, in front of the fountain we'll be married in front of

This grassy area is right off the patio. We're setting it up as a kids zone.

Our table will be to the left of that giant fireplace

Can't forget the bar!

So yeah, we are SUPER excited. I am going wedding dress shopping with my MOH, my mom, and Eric's mom this Saturday!

Wow, that Venu is beautiful. I love it! Wedding dress shopping is so much fun. I went with my bestfriend who is getting married next summer. I'm the MOH, it was killer fun and a great bonding time.

Are you going to be a cryer when you find "the one"?

When you put on THE dress be prepared for a wave of emotion you didn't expect. I was happy, sad and then very, very numb. It makes it all so real, so final. Then you start to worry about your decision.

On the day, when you put on THAT dress, the most important dress you will ever own, time stands still. .

Sigh, I loved being a bride.

I love your venue. It is so sunny and bright. <3

Are you going to be a cryer when you find "the one"?

Honestly, probably not. It's funny to me because I have tried on all these dresses and I look super pissed in every picture lol. I don't like having my picture taken with me just standing there. I like candid pictures, or pictures with Eric or Owen. but me just standing there with clamps holding my dress shut is just awkward to me lol. I'm a size 6 in wedding dresses so most of the samples dont fit me at all.

BUT- I have one I am trying on FIRST THING when I get there. And I MIGHT cry if it's the one.

Like.. I NEED this dress, lol

On another note, I feel like an idiot because when I clicked on this for some reason I thought it was Puppydog's thread and thought, whoa! South Africa looks JUST like Arizona!!

Hahaha! Sometimes it does. I'm just going live vicariously through this thread.
