My Dress Ain't White

Planning a wedding is so much fun. I spend hours a week looking at wedding blogs and borrowing ideas to use in my own. I truly am planning my dream wedding. It's going to be fun, simple but with a lot of DIY details to make it special, and it is going to be 100% what Scott and I want. I've always been the people pleaser. The girl who sacrifices and settles to make those around her happy. I will always be that person, it's in my nature (I got it from my mama, along with her booty) and I'm fine with that. I like making people happy! But my wedding? This I only get to do once, and the only people I want to please are myself and my handsome groom. So, since I've gotten a lot of grief and opinions I just want to forewarn you on a few things...

- My dress ain't white! It's "champaign." I realize it's tradition for the virgin bride to wear white on her wedding day, but I'm not concerned about tradition. I know who I am, I know what I stand for and if someone honestly looks at me and thinks I've gotten down and dirty before the wedding because I'm not wearing white...well you honestly don't know me. I love my dress.

- The reception is in Pomona. GASP! We're asking people to drive 30 minutes out of their way to celebrate with us one day this year. The reception is going to be at Scott's grandparents house in their backyard and they have a gorgeous home. I've always wanted an outdoor summer wedding so it's perfect for us! If you have a complaint because that's too far from you and you would like to pay for us to have it at a location more convenient for you, contact me.

- The reception is in July and it may or may not be hot outside. True. Getting married sooner wasn't an option and I didn't want to wait until December to marry my man because then I may not be allowed to wear a white dress even if I wanted to...HA HA

- We are making all of the invites ourselves. Will it be a big task? Yes. Is it exactly what I want? Yes. I don't care if you open our invite and throw it in the trash. I love our invites and will look back in 20 years and still love them.

- We're not having wedding cake. We are having cupcakes and pie. I don't like wedding cake ad neither does Scott. So why serve something we won't eat but are paying for?

- Scott is planning a surprise honeymoon. He is letting me do 99% of the wedding so I thought I would give him the honors of the honeymoon. Neither of us have ever been anywhere so it won't be too hard to please me. I'm not worried about what he plans.

These are just a few of the comments I have received from people so I thought I'd share. Try to hear the humor in this post. Weddings clearly bring out the crazy in people.
