Destination Stress!

So, doing a destination wedding seemed like the perfect idea: sun, sand, and relaxation. Theoretically they're supposed to be easier, less stress fewer worries, but who ever put that idea out there was oh so wrong. To a certain degree I think that this will make life simpler for me, it would definitely be a few less things on the to-do list but the worrying part is still a pain in the butt. All I've been thinking about lately is how much will it cost, will people have a good time, will people be able to come? I know I shouldn't be freaking out about all this stuff, because the people that love us will no doubt be there to celebrate on our special day, but stress is my middle name and I just can't help myself. Hopefully, I can let it all go soon. J. and I are trying to put the plans on paper within the next couple of weeks. Hopefully we can get everything together pretty smoothly. Stay tuned, you might have to dust off that passport pretty soon!

Now how romantic would this be? The sun is setting, the light hitting the waves as they crash against the white sand. An embrace and a kiss. Could this moment be coming to a groom near you? (namely myself). Only time will tell.

When it's gone...

It's funny how quickly you get attached to the ring. I only wore it for a week, but as soon as I took it off my finger and handed it to the jeweler last week I felt like a part of me was missing. Thankfully we went and picked it up today and let me just say that it's even more beautiful than I remember. It makes me think about that old cliche, "you never really miss something until it's gone". When I put the ring back on today I thought about what it really represents. This little piece of jewelry is a symbol of the connection that Jarvis and I share with each other and I realized that that bond is something that I never want to live without. I never want to know what it feels like not to have him in my life. So this Valentine's Day I hope that everyone takes some time to really show the people in their lives how much they love and care for them because once they're gone and you start to reminisce about how significant they were to your life and your happiness, you might not get a chance to know that kind of love again.

Jarvis, thank you for giving me 7 of the most amazing years of my life. Happy Valentine's Day!!

Hey honey. I will be barging in on your blog every now and then. So this is our first Valentines Day as an engaged couple. Today I won't surprise you with any flowers and a card, I have already given you a diamond and how many times can we go out to a restaurant. What I propose (I have been prosing a lot over the past year) is that on our first valentine as my fiancee is that it be just me, you a bottle of wine and the day. How is that? Circle Yes, No or Maybe. 

Never felt a love like this before...

I'm in love! (with this dress). So, I've been looking in every magazine I can find and on every wedding website there is trying to find the perfect dress. I wanted something cute, and flowy that would go with the whole romantic, beachy vibe that I'm going for and I think this is it. It wouldn't be in this color though, it would be a beautiful sapphire blue. I think that this would look good on all my girls (they don't know who they are yet though, that part is still a surprise). FYI I think I know what dress I want too but that's a conversation for another day.

Moet!!

Wow! Our first engagement gift. I can't believe this wedding thing is actually happening. No more dreaming about when and how, we're finally going to do this.
