Bridal Luncheon
I am slowly getting pictures back from the wedding so I decided to start with My Bridal Luncheon.
I don't currently have pictures of our rehearsal dinner, but when I do, I will do an entire post on them.
My Godmother and her daughter, My Godsister, threw me my Bridal Luncheon on the day of the wedding.
It was beyond anything I could have ever dreamed up.
It was held at the Hotel Granduca (about 1 mile from the Houstonian where the wedding was held). The Granduca is a beautiful Boutique Hotel that reminds me of Italy. It is beautiful.

The tablescape.
Everyone had a placecard and at each tablesetting there was a different picture of B and I throughout our relationship. It was beyond.
3 of my bridesmaids.
L-R -
BC-I was her first babysitter. I was 15 and her parents lived across the street. It has been wonderful watching her grow up. SHE IS 15 NOW!
BBC(In the middle)- I have known her since we were born. Her parents lived on our street. My first friend. My sister. I think of her children as my Niece and Nephew.
KR- She is my best friend. We met during recruitment and became sisters when I joined the sorority. I truly don't know what I would do without her.
My Godsister (standing), My Godmother, me and my mom.
Same as the previous, except add my mother in law on the right. Such a wonderful group of women that I adore and I am lucky to have in my family.
My mom, B's mom, B's Grandmother and his Aunt.
The beautiful centerpiece. I just loved it. This picture doesn't do it justice. It was huge!
My mom and myself.
To my Godmother:
I am so incredibly blessed to have you in my life. You have helped me through difficult times and partied with me through the great times. You truly are amazing and life without you and my Godfather is unthinkable.
I love you!
To my Godsister:
I am truly blessed to have you as family. You live too far away, but I suppose a trip to see you is in order.

Changes
I know I need to recap the wedding and the honeymoon.
Oh my- Thailand. Took my breath away. By far the very best holiday I have ever had.
We stayed at The TwinPalms in Phuket and we stayed at the Shangri-la in Bangkok. Both hotels were amazing. I cannot wait to go back.
B has the camera and we haven't uploaded any pictures yet. He also took a lot of video so whenever he does the editing etc, I hope to post it.
I am working on getting my new "married" emails working and moving my blog over to have my new "identity" be the one I log in with.
I also want to have a blog facelift. Does anyone have any suggestions on who to use?
Thanks!

I'm a WIFE.
Not just any wife.
I am B's WIFE! :)
Getting married today
I am getting married today.
30 years, 4 months and 19 days old.
I could never say that I dreamed of getting married when I was younger. I wasn't one that dreamed about those things. I dreamed about traveling, meeting people and doing things.
I also can say that all of my dreams have come true. I cannot believe the life I have. I am so incredibly blessed.
As I turn from a "single" girl to a "married" one, I do have a lot of things going through my head.
To my immediate family:
This is the last moment we are a family of 4. What an incredible family we are. I have loved growing up in our home. I have loved the moments of laughter. I know these will not end. I know life changes. Please know that I am who I am because of the 3 of you. I love you all.
To my brother:
This is the last day we have the same last name. You will still be my only brother. You will still be our only sibling. I am grateful for our friendship. I love who you have grown up to be. I wish we lived closer, but what I have learned through the years is that it doesn't matter how far in distance we are, we always connect and we always know about each others lives. I hope this does not change. Thank you for being the best sibling. You are always my little brother.
To my mom:
Thank you for being such a strong individual person. You taught me to be an intelligent woman who knows what she wants and goes for it. You taught me to live. TO REALLY LIVE. When people say that they are turning into their moms, I know it isn't supposed to be a "good" thing, but for me, whenever I hear myself say something you would say or do something you would do, I smile. I smile because you are the best person I have ever known and if I am anything like you, that makes me happy. The best lesson I have learned as we have become friends throughout my life is, I will always be your little girl. Thank you for the loving home you raised me in and thank you for such an incredible life. I am so lucky to have you as my mom.
To my dad:
As a daddy's girl, I know when we start the walk that will start the next chapter in my life, my eyes will be filled with tears. Tears because I am so happy. You were and still are the greatest example of love to our family. You loved us so much that you traveled instead of moving us from our home. Growing up I often wondered who would be my husband and if they would be as wonderful as you are to us. You set the bar so incredibly high. But this, this is why my brother is such an amazing young man and this is why it took me to the age of 30 to find someone who could meet the bar that you set so high. Thank you for loving me and being such a great example of what a father's love for his children is. I look forward to our walk down the aisle. I will always be your pumpkin.
To B:
Can you believe it? The day is here. Who knew that sitting in the Far West Starbucks all those years ago, just talking and becoming friends would lead to this? To our wonderful life together. I truly am in awe that this day has come and I am ready. I'm ready to be your wife, your partner in life and I am ready to be our own "family" together. Life has so many twists and turns and I am ready to be on the rollercoaster of life with you. I cannot wait to see you at the end of the aisle. I love you.
To myself:
RELAX. Enjoy the day. Be in every moment.

Wedding Activities start TODAY
Guests start to arrive today.
In fact B is on his way to the airport to pick up our friends coming all the way from Brazil for our wedding.
We are so blessed that so many people are coming from all over to watch our love become one.
I cannot believe the time has come for Wedding Activities to start NOW!

B comes home today!
So B travels ALL the time.
Ok not all the time - but usually 1 week a month sometimes 2.
It is this travel that will allow for us to be in Thailand for 2 weeks so I have NO complaints.
Except he has been gone for the last 9 days. Now it is 8 days to the wedding and he is on his way home.
Thank goodness. Someone needs to hear about these random wedding thoughts going through my mind!
I am ready for Cinco de Mayo.
I need a margarita.

10 days
The real countdown has begun.
There is so much still left to do, yet really nothing at all!
Life is hectic - hectic at work and running to every vendor appointment known to man after work everyday this week.
But all that matters is that in 10 days....
I will be married to this man.

Day by Day
I cannot believe that in 12 days - B and I will be married. It is true how day by day life has looked the same but looking at the last 3.5 years...everything has changed.

Life
Sometimes it takes big things and sometimes it takes small things for us to slow down, take a look around and tell the ones you love that you love them.
Life for me lately has been 100% wedding. Full of flowers, happiness frivolous thoughts.
Then April 15th happened.
While I am still in the midst of my "happy time" - I am also fully aware of those who are not.
I am always one who tells people I love them, to hug them and let them know how I feel.
On April 15th - I wanted nothing more than to be home with B and Roxy. I wanted my family. I just wanted everyone to know how I felt about them.
So I embarked on a letter writing campaign. I used to be better at writing letters to my family and friends. To brighten up their day. So I have started again. The goal is 52 letters this year. One a week (and yes I have to make up the difference since it is May already).
