Well here we go… one of my favorite parts of BDW and I can’t believe it is actually my turn to post a planning thread. The past year has absolutely flown by and I truly wouldn’t have half of the cute ideas if it wasn’t for this forum. Special shout outs to the ladies of the Dreams PV thread, December 2009 thread and the SB! Luv y’all!

 

 

So the engagement happened while we were gallivanting around Europe on a Contiki trip last New Years. 2 other couples had gotten engaged on the trip and everyone was giving Brett a hard time about when we he was going to pop the question. He was so adamant that he had no intentions of ever being married that he actually brought me to tears. Well then on New Years in front of the Eiffel Tower he popped the question. Crazy boy :o)

I originally wanted a wedding in Texas where I grew up and where my family is, but couldn’t find anything within a reasonable budget that felt like us. So we opted for a DW.

We both only have brothers and decided to just have them stand with us at the ceremony. My 2 brothers are my Honor Attendants and FI’s brother is the Best Man.

I did ask my girlfriends to be my un-bridesmaids and gave them scrabble tile lanyards.

I want gerbera daisies, lilies and green poms as the flowers. I have the pearls that my mom wrapped on her bouquet as well as 3 memory frames of my 2 grandmas and one great aunt. They really were a big part of my life and it feels great to know they will be there watching.

We leave in the morning and there is no way I am sleeping tonight. There are probably a ton of items that I am leaving out, but I’m just so excited to see all of my friends and family and finally marry my best friend. If you made it to the end I hope you enjoyed my planning thread :o)

      Bridesmaid gift

      By emmacatherine24 · Posted

      I love etsy!! It's a great place to find personalized gifts without such a hefty price tag. I was thinking of getting my bridesmaids personalized necklaces with their names on them. I found these ones that are affordable and you can pick the chain length and different fonts, so you can really make them your own and pick what you know each bridesmaid will want. https://www.etsy.com/listing/595334072/personalized-name-necklace-stainless?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=personalized necklace&ref=sc_gallery-3-9&plkey=a8662525c53ec285c1b46b0f308162d0591edff8:595334072

      Skin care

      By emmah · Posted

      Hi everyone, I am so happy that I am getting married to the love of my life. He proposed me and we are getting married within in a couple of months. And I have started preparations for my big day. I am super excited about a lot of things and also worried about many things.I have some inhibitions about my face and skin. Since I am a working woman, I have never got much time for personal care. This is the right time for it now. I need  proper medical grade skin care. Want to improve my skin tone and texture  I read some details about it here, https://www.mcleanclinic.com/nonsurgical-procedures/non-surgical/skin-care/, and found it really helpful. Can anyone of you suggest me some more tips? Like what I can do at home to have a glow on my face?  Thanks in advance.
