Hey Ladies!
I got engaged in February after a two year "courtship".
We set a date, we invited our friends to participate in the wedding, but, I must admit, it didn't feel real until we booked our venue. Woo hoo!

We were full steam ahead,booking our Venue, Honeymoon, DJ, photographer, officiant, caterer, ordered our cake, had our engagement photos taken for save the date, bridesmaids have dresses and shoes, I have my dress and veil. I have a make-up artist and hair dresser lined up. I even have a hair dresser for my horse Sasparilla, who I'll be riding in my wedding.

Our wedding is June 6,2020.
We have accomplished alot,but for the moment we are at a standstill due to some unexpected life events.

My Daddy has been diagnosed with Dementia. It's a tough journey to take with a loved one. I truly hope he can stand up with me at my wedding.

I'm also approaching the second anniversary of my Mama's death on the 4th of August.

I'm in need of a happy distraction to cheer me up and get my wedding mojo back.

All of you newly engaged brides, I'd love to see pictures of your dresses, veils, rings, flower ideas, shoes,engagement pictures etc.
Feel free to share it all! I'd truly love to see themSmiley smile

I'm sharing pictures of my dress again and my horse, because I love them bothSmiley smile
Thanks in advance!
Happy planning to all.🌹🌷🌸💐🙋

    If you don’t look for a bargain, I originally found them at Nordstrom for $250, but DSW had them and I used a coupon with a sale and got them for $75!!

    It got real for us this past Monday. We got our wedding rings and marriage license all in one day and it hit me. We’re getting married August 10th, 8 days and i’m feeling so many emotions but i’m beyond excited. I’m a recent grad, just started working full time and wedding planning. So, hectic barely describes the time but it’ll all be worth it! The woman who helped us with our license told us we looked so happy and it’s nice to see. I’m like a giddy lil girl lol

    Thank you so much! Yes! It’s such a sweet memory and I know it will be one of my favorites! She told me to take care of my husband, to enjoy getting to make him dinner, and keep a clean home for him! Also, to delight in homemaking, to see it as my gift and responsibility, (we’re christians, so it’s also a way we can represent Christ and be loving like Christ in taking care of our husbands!)

    Thank you!!! I’ve fallen in love with mermaid:trumpet style dresses. Maybe a halter or sleeves that kinda fall off the shoulders. I’m super excited for the experience! I can’t wait to report back with pics and tons of questions lol

    We got engaged April 23, 2018 a year after being engaged I told him I was going to look at dresses. FH was like we don't even have a date, I said April 4th, FH asked why and I said it stays with our April dates. We started dating April 5th 2016, got engaged April 23rd 2018.
    It didn't feel real for me till yesterday when I reserved our venu, even after already having my dress and veil. We decided on a small wedding with just our parents in Gatlinburg TN. Will have a reception next summer for friends and family.

    I knew that I didn't want to do white. My first time being engaged, I tried on a bunch of dresses. None of them made me feel special. I had dress regret. I realized that it was largely because of the relationship being bad (I ended it 8 months before the wedding).

    My current relationship is like night and day. So different and wonderful. I wanted a magical dress that had color (my bridesmaids will be in ivory). I also didn't want it to look like a prom dress, so I looked up vera wang because she does most of her editorial designs in color with white or ivory options. I saw this and fell in love. I stalked it to a trunk show in nyc. I had another appointment earlier that day (at Kleinfeld and they kept brining me white and blingy) so that I would have something to compare it to. It was the last dress I tried on (like 10?) and I ugly cried. I just knew.

    I also considered silver/gray, or blue or gold. This was it though.


    Sorry for the wall of text! I can post pictures of some of the "no" dresses if people want

    Hey Cheryl!
    How beautiful! I love your pictures! Such a pretty dress!

    I love the April theme. And your ring looks so beautiful on the Iris.

    And, of course I adore Aeris! That is so amazing! All of my animals are rescued. I'm very happy for you💐❤🐱 👰

    Who knows? Maybe, if you plan it just right, someday you may have a bundle of joy in April too.

    Sounds like April is your milestone month.
    Congratulations!
    Thank you so much for the pictures!
