The Next Step In Wedding Planning





Last weekend I was so blessed to have my two very best friends accept my request in them standing by my side, on the most important day of my life.
Michelle my very best friend who is like a sister, my protector my back bone, my support, my heart~ who has stood by me in all the good and bad, who has experienced important milestones in the past 4 years that most haven't been around to help em through.....will be my Maid of Honor. She is so beautiful inside and out~ She will be such an asset to my upcoming day in February. I just hope I am and can be what she is to me.
Lori ~ my newest closest friend who has been such a support in my ups and downs, who doesn't run when I'm haivng a bad day~ She is having a wedding only one month after me, and she is so wonderful, loving, and awesome that she is accepting my request to be my brides maid. She is such a wonderful, peaceful, loving, beautiful woman, who has made me a better person knowing her.
There is one more I really want to ask, but I have to say the fear is prevnting me from taking that next step...I don't want to jump the gun or assume things are better than she thinks they are......so ~ I'll be feeling things out for a bit to see if I should just stick with the two I have, or if I should listen to my heart and go for it...she would really complete the packag of me having my "fave's" up with me!!!! Ohhhh man, I don't know what to do! <----Scratch that bad writing.

*****I've seemed to have miscommunicated what my true feelings were here~ In the last paragraph, I was trying to share that there is one other friend that I think very highly of, and would be honored if she would stand with me on my wedding day. But I had one fear, that was preventing me from asking her. I was afraid she would say no, that she couldn't be a bridesmaid, because quite possibly she may not consider our friendship as strong as I do. I consider her a special friend, but I'm not sure she feels the same about me. I hope now that makes some sense....I really do need to learn to proof read so I don't hurt anyone with my miscommunication. ******





Woo Hoo!!!

Rich Bride Poor Bride

If you are the last to know...I'm terribly sorry! The news....I've finally set a date to marry Michael. Almost 2 years ago Michael proposed to me at one of our favorite restaurants in Chandler. Yes, I said 2 years ago, LOL!! So finally I am taking time to plan this wedding....I have had a lot of the summer to do this~ but really have just begun.

First and foremost~ our date: Saturday February 28th, 2009

So now you ask, what does "Rich Bride Poor Bride" have to do with it? It's the book I'm reading through as I do my planning. I ran across it in the library, and it caught my attention especially since I've seen a few episodes on WEtv. ****(Make sure if check out my favorite books on the left, too.)****

So let me share what I'm currently working on (I've already set a budget in place...). I'm working on the Va-Va-Voom Your Venue...lol...where will hold my ceremony and my reception. Since the party is THE biggest part of my budget, and don't we all agree it should be? LOL! If we think back to all the weddings we have attended.....we go for what reason? TO PARTYYYYY!!!!!

If you are fortunate to attend my wedding (heheehe, of course your invited) you will enjoy a beautiful ceremony, a delicious dinner, and a night full of free drinks...and lots of dancing and partying!!! This is going to be the party of the year!

Some of the places I'm considering for my 'Venue' ~

Radisson in Chandler

Holiday Inn at Ocotillo

Sanctuary Golf Course

The above list is by far from complete...today I hope to find a few more within the budget, and then tomorrow we plan to go visit and narrow this list down.

I'm so excited to share the next level in our planning for the Cooper/Goldberg Wedding, the next blog I'll be sharing Michael & Tonja's Wedding Website...be sure to check back often for our details~ and don't forget to share your ideas and thoughts.

OHhhhhhh and if you couldn't tell ..our exciting wedding colors are Chocolate Brown and Pink!
