Wedding Rant...

     Ok so I'm kinda put off. Yes I'm not getting married for another two years and some odd months but can people still be excited for me, I mean come on. Ever since I got engaged my family has been like 'Yup, Whatever, Sure.' My own sister was like 'You woke me up, nice you're getting married.' She still is acting bitchy and I asked her to be my MOH. I'm wondering if I made the right choice. I wish my Dad would at least smile about the whole thing too. I know he has a lot on his plate with John's recent Open House and Mom and all that but seriously. How often does your eldest daughter get engaged?
     I know Chris' family is excited about it all but now they are questioning why I am doing stuff already. I'm dress shopping now (it's only four weeks since I've been engaged) and they are saying it's stupid since styles will be out of season. I'm not caring much about styles because I want something that is me and fits by body. I'm just really frustrated that everyone is either questioning me or not caring. I know I should be used to it, my family not being big on any show of emotion but come on.
     Okay well I'm going to end this rant and go watch a movie or go to bed. I just needed to clear my head and get it off my chest. Not sure it helped but at least it's out in the open now. Thanks.

Bridal presents and dresses...

     So I went bridal dress shopping for the first time ever yesterday. I went with Shari and Kellie. It felt really weird. I couldn't look at myself in the mirror with the first dress for about ten minutes or so. It was just really surreal and kinda overwhelming. I did find out a few dress styles that I can't wear and a few that I can. I'm not looking for thee dress yet but just narrowing it all down. I think I found Kellie's (she's a BM) dress though, going with a one shoulder purple. I know Sammi, my MOH, will be in black though I don't know the style and Heather, a BM, will be in purple but I'm not sure on the style. I wish she lived closer so we could go shopping together.
     On another note, I think I know what I'm getting Chris for his groom's gift. I think I want to do a boudoir shoot. I am terrified of this because I am on the bigger side but I think it might be fun. I was surfing online and there is a studio in Royal Oaks that is reasonably priced and I think I would be comfortable doing it with her. I'm not too sure yet but it's an idea and sometime I've wanted to do for awhile now.
     Well I am off to go take a shower and make dinner. Love ya'll!

My Proposal Story! :D

     We went to Canada to St. Catherine's for a regatta competition for Chris' (the groom's) cousin. We went with his grandparents who also took us to Niagara Falls after the regatta was finished. We stayed in the Embassy Suites with an amazing view of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls. We went down to the falls to view them from the Table Rock with Grandma and Grandpa Bradt. Being as this was my first time to the falls it was beautiful. Chris and I decided that we wanted to take the Journey behind the Mists and went down below the falls. We walked all the way down to the last hole in the falls after Chris said we could go out to the lookout and get wet after we explored the rest of the Canadian falls. We then went to the second hole where we were all alone and he was leaning around me. He then pulled away and got down on one knee with a pretty little white box. I freaked. :D He didn't say anything cheesy or tacky. It was a simple "Marry Me." I kept saying "Thank You" and "I love you." I didn't even say yes until we were walking down to the hall to the lookout. I got a beautiful little white gold ring with our birthstones (amethyst and peridot) in the shape of hearts with two tiny diamonds around it. I love it! I am so excited to be engaged and in love with the best man ever!
