The First Post

Welcome to my wedding blog!  I still can't believe that I am engaged.  Its been two weeks since the proposal and I still cant stop staring at my hand.  I am the luckiest woman in the world to have found the man of my dreams and that he chose me.  He is my best friend and I couldn't picture life with any one else.

I really want to make sure to document this special time of my life.  I plan to use this blog as my step by step in all the decisions and planning that I do.  Hopefully time won't get in the way of writing everything down.

This wedding is so much more than a wedding to me... it s the uniting of a family.  Thankfully, I get two boys instead of just one.  A beautiful four year old who has my heart in the palm of his hand.  I don't know what it feels like to be a biological mother, but I can tell you that I know what being a mother feels like and Brayden is the sweetest most special little boy in my life.  I can't wait to be his Momma V forever.  I am so blessed.

So this wedding thing; I don't even know where to begin.  Thankfully most of my family has gone through the wedding process already, so I have them to help.  Kelsi, my younger sister, told me that I first need to pick a date, venue, and find a dress.  To me, those are three of the most important details!  I stress out just thinking about having to finalize what will be the happiest day of my life.  I'm getting anxiety just typing!

The only thing that we have pretty much decided on is that we want a destination wedding.  We will most likely be tying the knot in Kaanapali Hawaii.  I want it to be very special, intimate, and small.  I can't imagine a better place to marry my best friend.  No date, no venue.  We are thinking next spring/summer, but who knows.  I would like to actually see the place before making a final decision.  Not seeing a venue and showing up 3 days prior gives me anxiety.  I am hoping to go sometime in the next month or two to check out some spots, so we shall see!

Other than that, this is all I have so far.  A blog!
