Weddings Here, Weddings There, Weddings EVERYWHERE!

I have reached the age where there are a lot more weddings to attends... I know there isn't an age, but I mean the age where people I know close to my age start to get married... Which is a little weird, but also exciting. I love weddings and I have an issues analyzing and judging them too (sorry), but it gets me thinking about my wedding. I have been engaged for almost 2 years in May and  Brandon and I have yet to have our wedding mainly cause we want a dream wedding. However, with all these weddings we have been to or are going to be at these next coming  months and into next year... Jeremy and Marcela, My Dad and Susan, Aunt Sue and Jay, Nick and Natalie and Karen and Billy. Brandon has caught wedding fever.. he wants to have our wedding sooner.. which we won't cause we don't have the money to yet. BUT on the upside this opened the discussion on our wedding. Meaning, Brandon was willing to talk about it.. without groaning and saying "I don't know! do whatever".

Now, thinking about our wedding I had a vision in my head. We plan on having our wedding at either The Sagamore Resort on Lake George, Bolton Landing, New York or The Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego, CA.  The reasons these two place were chosen is because we want our wedding to be a week long wedding. Since we plan on having it June 19th. So we want a place which is historical, grand and beautiful and represents the idea of Vintage America. Also, a hotel that can accommodate ALL my guests in more then one way. Both these hotels have activities for kids and families. Spas that can relax my guests and my bridal party and a golf course for the guests and boys to use. I plan on keeping all my guests busy. The Sagamore Resort is the 1st choice but the downside is that it is farther away and makes planning more difficult, but Hotel Del Coronado is a delightful runner up if we choose to go ahead with it and make the planning easier. I am not sure.

So.. the whole reason I decided to write this blog is for the idea of the theme. I was REALLY set on our original theme Vintage, Old America. Very laid back, simple and elegant summer wedding. With  the colors of red and navy, accented with white. This  was originally chosen since Brandon was in the Marines and would be wearing his Dress Blues during the wedding. I like this theme a lot, Then Brandon and I got to talking about our wedding today and something in me changed. It started with Brandon asking if the color green could be incorporated, in the wedding.. and so I went onto The Knot to get ideas with green and I saw a picture of GORGEOUS blue dresses and although red is my FAVORITE color, I really liked the idea of Blue in the wedding as well... So I was thinking about it and went on to Perezhilton.com (this had nothing to do with my thoughts of weddings, I was just on the site) and there was an ad for Wedding Invitations and I decided to have a look, because I like want Unique Invites and Save The Dates, So I look wherever I can to find that.. while searching my eyes fell up this invite....

And Then THIS idea hit me Peacock Colors...Jewel Blue, Jewel Greens, Jewel Purples.. PRETTY Colors and then the idea of a more  20's themed weddings, which can still have Old Vintage America ties to it, but with a little more glam! I like both Theme Ideas, but I was curious what your guys thoughts are? Help me Please!

Focus, Focus, Focus!

I started another blog! I am pretty sure I am crazy! But This one is now about fashion and it is on Tumblr.. I feel like I betrayed Blogger, but everyone else is on tumblr. So I thought I would give it a whirl.

Here is my Fashion Blog http://fellintofashion.tumblr.com/

I have also failed, to be a loyal blogger to my personal blog. = / Oops. However, my book blog The Lost Book Reports is really taking off.. although it doesn't really matter since it's not like I get paid for it.. but it is nice to know that there is someone besides my mom and fiance out there reading what I type.. even if I type it horribly and ALWAYS forget to spell check. 

My life has taken the turn for the better (or so I hope) Because last month I had surgery! I am SO SO SO happy to have had my surgery, to be diagnosed and mostly fixed and to now live a real life since, I haven't been able to do that in awhile. So what did you have surgery for you ask? Well the main reason I had surgery was for Endometrosis (google it) but while they were in there they found a few other things like scaring, a HUGE hernia, IC in my bladder and so forth. However, a month later and I am pretty much all healed up. Along with this surgery I was diagnosed with a gluten intolerance and I am now gluten - free (or trying to be.. it is SO SO SO hard) as well as being diagnosed with IC ( a bladder problem) which also requires its own diet! and then a longer list of things... but I am glad to know what is wrong with me FINALLY. 

Along with that these next few months seem like they are going to be very busy, stressful, expensive and hopefully won't break me. Starting this Sunday Brandon and I will be attending our first wedding together in San Diego for his Step- Brother's wedding, Then Brandon has his Mom's Birthday and his Brother Nick's Bachelor Party in Late May... So that requires us to drive up north. THEN we have THREE weddings which are 1 week from each other and they are up North as well and 2 of those weddings are on the same day! And then Brandon Has a gaming Tournament. Plus there is a possible move in there, a new job, birthdays and holiday's all mixed in between this mess. Whoever said growing up was easy was a big fat liar.. cause as much as I LOVE doing all this stuff I see Gifts that have to be bought, outfits that have to be bought and lots of traveling and ALL of this equals lots of money! Money that really Brandon and I don't have at the moment. Yet, we do it for family right? Don't get me wrong all of this is crazy and stressful, but at the same time I am REALLY excited for it.

Like this week is out first wedding we are going to and I am excited because of that but also a lot of Brandon's family is coming down south for it and not just that but we get to be dressed  up and have a mini vaca in San Diego. Even If it's only for a day. It will be fun! 

Now, I am getting a little sleepy eyed, So I will up date you on more of my life later... and hopefully that will happen more sooner than usual.
