David and Migdalia- 08-09-08!

[migsepu]

Ok so I'm pretty late to this whole journal thing but the AC just broke in my house so I don't have the energy to work on wedding stuff.... so i thought I might as well make a journal (better late than never) :grinhappy: .
Um so here's the background. David and I go back a long, LONG time. Back when I was three my mom decided to get a job and needed a babysitter for my brother and I. She got referred to David's mom who was at the time taking care of children. David was 7 and I was 3. I spent about a year there and David would even walk me to school when I started preschool. After that year my mom decided that she preferred to be a housewife and quit her job. David and I lost contact for many years. Then right before my 15th birthday I need another guy to be in my court (you know... for the whole quince thing). Well my mom remembered this cute kid from a long time ago and gave him a call, but it wasn't our time to be together yet.
Right before I graduated from high school David ran into my mom at the mall and he asked her how I was doing. My mom had a pic of me in her purse and let him see. He asked if he could come over that night and my mom agreed. We chatted that night and got to know each other better. We started dating but then I moved away 5 hours to go to the University of Florida (Go gators!) and the distance was too much for us. We broke up and in a not so good way. I carried a lot of anger and bitterness and refused to hear from him or keep in contact. Well last year thanks to my roommate at the time (my own lil cupid) we started texting each other. I graduated a few weeks after and we kept texting and emailing back and forth. We then moved into phone conversations and after about a month of all night phone conversations we made it official and started dating again (6-8-07). Six months later he proposed in front of my church and family (12-23-07) and now we're planning our wedding that will take place on 08-09-08! We're truly excited and are making up for all the moments we missed during the past. :D

[migsepu]

I'm trying to figure out how to put pics in here.... so we're stuck with attachments for now. These are some pics of some of the stuff I've finished.
So far FH has completed my shoes (got them online for $19 with shipping and then he put swarovski crystals on them... they look beautiful in person!).
We've also completed our invitations and the candles for our candle ceremony. We decided that one unity candle was not enough and i saw this cute ceremony somewhere online. Basically we will give each guest a candle as they come in, then when the pastor commences the candle ceremony an usher will go to either side of the back of the church and light the candle of the person at the end. Each person will light the candle of the person next to them and the ppl in the corner will light the candles of the person in front of them. Our mothers will be sitting at the first seat on either side of the church and they will have their candles lit last. They will then come up and light our candles and then we will light the unity candle. The theory behind this is that it's all the same flame and it symbolizes the unity of all our family and friends.
Only prob is we only have an hour at the church so I'm hoping we can fly through this, especially since we're also doing a sand ceremony. eek! But no one will sing or read any partsso I'm hoping for the best. So what do ya'll think?

[migsepu]

lol.. ok. Here's 4 of my favor boxes for the candy buffet. I still have 146 to make.

http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa180/migsepu/Wedding/favorboxes.jpg

This is what my centerpiece will look like (hopefully... we're DIY) only I'ma remove the hanging votives and those napkins won't be in the way.

http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa180/migsepu/Wedding/centerpieces-1.jpg

I made a test run of it to see if I can manage the project but I still don't have a pic of it. The willows will be live, but the orchids are silk so I can make the arrangements like 3 days ahead of time. This way the willows will still have some green on them but I don't have to freak out about them the morning of.

This is an example of the small cruet jars that will be on the candy buffet. These will have aqua and white M&Ms hopefully.

[migsepu]

This is my DIY gum. lol. It might be blurry so the wrapper says "sticking together from this day forward. Migdalia & David 08-09-08"

http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa180/migsepu/Wedding/diygum.jpg

And finally these are our DIY cake toppers. We bought some plain ones online and bedazzled them with swarovski crystals. (FH loves sparkle).

MORE PICS TO COME LATER ON.

[Brad's Bride in 08]

Welcome to OneWed! Everything looks great!!! I love your favors!! Good luck with getting everything on your list done! Let us know if there is anything we can do to help!

[uptowngirl]

Welcome to Onewed!! We are date buddies! LOL! I am getting married 08/09/08 also. :)

I love everything you have planned so far - the centerpieces sounds awesome!!

[PGDesigns]

Everything looks beautiful! I especially love the caketopper, though!

[migsepu]

Welcome to Onewed!! We are date buddies! LOL! I am getting married 08/09/08 also. :)

You know I've read through tons of your posts and I never noticed we were date buddies.. lol I'm such a dork. :D

[migsepu]

Everything looks beautiful! I especially love the caketopper, though!

awwwww THANKS!!!! It's one of my favs too! FH spent hours on them trying to get the colors "just right". lol.

[Nekochanpurr]

Oh wow, i REALLY like your candle idea!! How cute!

[migsepu]

eeek... i'm so excited! FH just surprised me with a yellow gold e-ring for lunch! I had been complaining for the past few months about how I could only wear white gold and silver because of my e-ring and my college grad ring is yellow gold (I just graduated a year ago and only got to wear it like 6 months lol). So apparently without me knowing he went and bought me a gold one. Now, given... it's smaller than my original, but it's such a thoughtful gesture! Especially since he's tight on money right now! But yeah...he's wonderful.. and that's one of the many reasons i'm marrying him! :grinhappy:

[Danielle9608]

Wow what a nice surprise :)

[uptowngirl]

That is so nice of your FH!! Are you going to get a yellow gold wedding band too? Or one of each and then you can change them out depending on your mood! LOL!

[Ninedays9]

I like the candles you found! I like the color you picked for things, the light blue. And, that was quite nice of your fiance to get you another ring.

[migsepu]

That is so nice of your FH!! Are you going to get a yellow gold wedding band too? Or one of each and then you can change them out depending on your mood! LOL!

Well he already has my white gold band but i can't see it cuz it's a surprise. He says he'll get me a yellow gold one after we get married. :D

[migsepu]

I like the candles you found! I like the color you picked for things, the light blue. And, that was quite nice of your fiance to get you another ring.

THANKS! I fell in love with my colors. We're actually decorating the master bedroom and bath with the colors aqua and chocolate cuz we love them so much. lol. The candles were a great find... we got 10 for a $1.00 at dollar tree and then bought some stickers and decorated them. You can't even tell their stickers though... I love them! I made 120 of them (cuz i don't think everyone will come to the ceremony) so the candles costed me $12 and the stickers $2. Not bad huh?
We also got a big sticker for our big unity candle for $1 and bought a pillar white candle for $5. :grinhappy:

For some reason after making this journal i feel like more of a bride and more excited about the wedding! eeeeeek!! :D

[migsepu]

YAYYYYYYYY! I just got a call from my photographer that our engagement pics are ready to be seen. We just took them on Tuesday!! So now I get to go pick a few that i like so he can order them in 4x6 so I can then choose a 20x30! SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :grinhappy:

[alli816]

Aww! You guys are really cute together. *^^*

[Ninedays9]

Those turned out very well! I love the background, and you guys are cute together, :).

[alli816]

OH I love your pics....you guys are such a cute couple......where did you get your pics taken?

[migsepu]

awwww thanks everybody!!! The pics were taken at Hollywood beach here in Fla and at Dania Beach and Dania Park. We had a blast and had an extremely nice photographer. :grinhappy:

[migsepu]

Alrighty so I thought I'd put some more pics up.

Here's a pic of my original E-ring.
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa180/migsepu/Wedding/myoriginalring.jpg

Here's a pic of my new gold one.
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa180/migsepu/Wedding/mynewgoldring.jpg

Here's a pic of my chinese anterns that just arrived. yay. They will be decorating the ceiling of the reception and will be hanging directly under bulbs so I didn't have to buy the electrical kits. another yay.
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa180/migsepu/Wedding/lanterns.jpg

[migsepu]

This was my inspiration ring pillow... really wanted it but didn't wanna pay the $40 for it.
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa180/migsepu/Wedding/inspirationringpillow.jpg

So i ended up spending about $3.50 on it so far. Needs the lil strings to attach the rings to it and I wanna put a lil cluster of pearls so it will match my flowergirl basket. But here's what i got so far.
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa180/migsepu/Wedding/ringpillow.jpg

These are the aqua flowergirl petals i just bought.
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa180/migsepu/Wedding/flowerpetals.jpg
I'll put up pics of the basket as soon as it's finished.

[migsepu]

My sand got here at the end of last week. Another yay... I just love getting packages! The colors were beyond perfect. It was the perfect shade of tiffany blue.. too bad everything else I've bought for the wedding is more of an aqua since tiff blue is so hard to find. O well... after the ceremony it will match my living room which will be tiffany blue and choc brown! :grinhappy:

http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa180/migsepu/Wedding/ceremonysand.jpg

Here's the vase we're using for the sand ceremony

http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa180/migsepu/Wedding/sandjar.jpg

[migsepu]

yeah... i'm hoping to paint the aisle runner this weekend. It's one of those projects that's been tormenting me cuz i'm so scared i'm gonna mess it up.

[migsepu]

ok so I totally didn't do the stuff I was supposed to last weekend. I slacked off with FH's family that was down from Orlando instead of doing my weddingly duties.
On a brighter note, I went to the hall yesterday and picked out the food and other food items. I also started my veil last night with my mom. Hopefully we can get that done this week so I can take my bridal shots next week.. and hopefully this weekend I can paint the dreaded aisle runner!

OMG THREE WEEKS LEFT!!!! AGH!!!

And today is my bridal shower!!! yay!!! It was supposed to be a surprise but my friends and family suck at surprises. Everyone was like see you Saturday at 6... and then some folks even texted me and messaged me to tell whether they would be able to make it. lol.... gotta love em! :grinhappy:

[Danielle9608]

LOL have fun at your almost surprise shower :)

[alli816]

I hope your shower was great and cant wait to see the pics....

[Kristina]

How did you make the monogram for your guest candles?? LOVE THEM!! :)

[bayoubaby83]

i love that aisle runner.. u have talent girl

[migsepu]

How did you make the monogram for your guest candles?? LOVE THEM!! :)

Yay thanks! :grinhappy: The monogram is made of clear stickers actually that aren't visible against the white of the candle. They blend in SO WELL that only when you move them around under the light do you see they're stickers. The best part... they're from the Dollar Tree! Yup, and they were on sale (who knew they had sales lol) and I got 2 packs of stickers for the price of one ( I ended up using 8 I believe because it was 4 of each letter). It was so easy and really does add a nice touch. Only some Dollar Tree's carry them tho and they're in the scrapbook section, but it should work with any clear stickers.

[migsepu]

i love that aisle runner.. u have talent girl

Thank you!! Actually, it was one of my fav projects in the end even tho I was completely dreading it. It was really easy and should add a nice touch to the church.

[migsepu]

Well as an update the shower was so beautiful! My girls outdid themselves, but unfortunately a lot of people missed it. :bbcry: However, the people that did make it were the special ones anyways and they made it very enjoyable. :D I'll be posting pics later today!

I also did my bridal pictures yesterday!! It was so much fun BUT SO HOT!!! We did them at Vizcaya gardens (one of the prettiest places for photos) but it sure was hot outside yesterday. I thought i was gonna pass out at some points. Hopefully it doesn't show through in the pics! I totally can't wait to see them. It was so exciting to put everything on and see it all together. Woohoooo 18 more days till the real thing!!!!

[brendalin]

I just read through your journal! WOW girl you have a lot of really great ideas! everything looks so great! I love the candle idea! I would totally do that if I was having an indoor ceremony. it is such a great way to involve everyone! Can't wait to seee you bridal pics!

I really wish I could share but they come out all blurry like the engagement ones. :bbcry: They print out very tiny copies of them for me to pick the ones I like and I don't get the CD with all the pics till AFTER the wedding.

But I did get to see the bridal shots and I LOVE THEM!!! They came out SOOO well!! I do look chunky in a fews... but what am i gonna do... I"m wearing ALL WHITE! But other than that and some annoying bangs we're good!
