She's gonna be a MRS.!!!!

On April 4th 2012 my world forever changed.

My best friend Haley got ENGAGED!

BLING BLING!

If I could tell you one thing about Haley it's that she has always dreamed of her wedding day.

I am SO Happy she finally found someone wonderful to share her life with and someone who will be just as excited for their wedding as she is. It has only been 11 days but the dress has already been bought and the venue is pretty much picked as of today. I told her she might as well get married next month by the way she is planning but they have decided to wait one year.

The BIG DAY will (tentatively) be April 13th, 2013!

That is if the world doesn't end this year.

Just Kidding Haley!

The world is not going to end and your wedding is going to be BEAUTIFUL!

I am so excited to be your MOH and to be there every step of the way like you were for mine.

You deserve all the stars in the sky and all the happiness in the world.

Now, here's my advice to you for enjoying as much of this time as you can:

1. Enjoy being ENGAGED. Take a few days to do nothing (NO PLANNING) but look at each other and enjoy the calm before the storm. He is your Fiance only for a little while then he will be your Husband.

2. Don't worry about what anyone else "thinks" or "wants" for your wedding. Choose what YOU and JOSH want. (Not even my wants count!)

3. Don't get in debt for the wedding. Only do what you and Josh agree on because at the end of the day you will be paying the debt off after the big day is over and you want a Fresh start in a new life not the Stress of bills all at once.

4. Enjoy each step of this process and each decision you make...it's only going to happen ONCE.

5. Feel the love. Your friends and families are going to be showering you with love and attention. Enjoy it. They really mean it and the best thing about getting married is seeing how much everyone really cares for you and is happy for you.

6. Don't kill Josh. You will get in arguments about something during this process. Putting together a wedding is the first Test a couple really has. Don't take it personal when he's off with his friends and you're licking envelopes. Give him tasks and plenty of time to complete them and at the end of the day try and remember that this is supposed to be fun not demanding of you two.

7. Remember that someone is always going to have a different opinion of what you "should" do or how you "should" act. Try not to let it make you angry/sad/annoyed/miserable. Weddings seem to bring out the Best and Worst in people. Don't ever let them bring you down.

8. Do a guest list as soon as possible and plan for at least 20+ extras to be added by the time the big day happens. You will be surprised how quickly those people add up and getting addresses together is a pain in the ass. (Learn how to use Excel like a CHAMP)

9. Make a Wedding Website! It is fun and people will love it.

10. Plan the Honeymoon as soon as possible. Trust me you will be soooo ready for a week away from everyone you had to deal with while planning your wedding and to spend LOTS of Alone time with your new Hubby!

11. Things will go wrong/not happen on the big day. Just go with it. Don't worry about anything that day. It will all work out and be perfect in its own way.

 (Even if your MOH get sick and vomits in the middle of your vows)

12. Get a good Videographer. You will want to show your children it and probably anyone else who wants to watch it for the rest of your life.  

13. Go to as many Bridal Shows as you can!

14. Most of all... Have fun baby. I love you SO MUCH and if you need anything Remember I am just a phone call/email/text/heytell/facebook post away.

Now, time for some pictures:

 

Congrats you two!!!
