T Minus 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 days...

So this is the first post of many to come!

My little sister is getting married. Where has the time gone? This year will mark my third anniversary and I can't believe that my little Ellie (who will now be referred to as theBride) will be married in just a few short months.

It seems like only yesterday she was gushing about a new crush that she met on yahoo personals. Now she is talking about cake toppers and honeymoon locations.

Let me go back to my days as a bride. When I got engaged, I did not hesitate to ask Ellie to be my Maid of Honor. She was by far a great example of what I can be for her.

Here are my three girls at my wedding circa 2006 - theBride is the one with the cleavage in the front, Bianca (our cousin) with the great body on the left and Jess (my bff), the beautfiul smile on the right.! Now theBride has like 22 bm's in her wedding - like Whoa! J/K, but she seriously does have quite a few. As a matter of fact, she has a Maide of Honor as well as me (Matron). She is that cool, that she has two! So in all she actually has 8 girls (including her two women of honor) - I'm telling you, that's how she rolls!!!!

So it starts. Prior to Jan 1,2009 - not much had needed to be done on my part, but here we are, less than 5 months away and it's gonna go by fast. I mean just last week it was my 29th birthday. My oh My where have the years gone?

Here is what theBride has done so far:
The date - check! June 13
The colors scheme - check! Black, White and Apple green as an accent - doesn't that sound so chic???
The cereomony location - check! - it's a secret!
The reception location - check! another secret! (I mean come on, we don't need any wedding crashers! The guest list is already high enough!)
Wedding dress - check! double, triple even!
BM dresses chosen - check!
There a lot more, and hey! we still have a smidge of time! - but prepare yourself for a rip roaring time as these next few months unfold!

First duty on the MOH agenda:
Plan a gtg for the bridesmaids to try on, order, and pay for our dresses. <--CHECK! We have our first meeting of the year for Feb 15th - to get this taken care of!

Second - go with theBride to finalize flowers and some bm gifts as well as makeup trial. <--check, we are scheduled to do that this Sat. btw.. here is our bm dress! (oops... if I lose you on the abbreviations, just think wedding and what could that possibly stand for in a wedding - ex: bm=bridesmaid. get it?) our dress will be black. Very chic! PS... I hope it looks this good on me! - you laugh, but I have already lost 2 lbs... that's right folks, I am gonna look good! Well, I will try to let theBride be the prettiest there, but what can I say - I'm going for KNOCK OUT! LOL


Stay Tuned!!
