Bridal Shower #2!

I was completely overwhelmed with the love and details that went into my bridal shower. My best friend Kelly did so good. I love her so much! No detail was too small.

Gift table

Each table's centerpiece was different.

Cupcake and drink table

Cupcakes that Kelly MADE!

Food buffet

Yummy food.

Kelly personalized picture frames for me! (The flowers)

More yummy food!

Kelly and her mom. THANK YOU for everything!!

Like I said, YUMMY!

We played the purse scavenger hunt game. I literally only had 5 things in my purse! (special small purse just for the shower. If I had known we were playing this game, I would have brought my HUGE one! LOL!)

But that's ok. Falon won the scavenger hunt game!

We also played a Price is Right game. Kelly had bought everything I needed to make a spaghetti dinner, including garlic bread and dessert. We had to guess how much it all cost (before tax). The closest one without going over, won. I said $12. Jami said $11. It was $11.43! LOL! But I got to keep the food.

The awesome favors. From Oriental Trading. I got to keep all the extras.

My best friends! Kelly and my sister. Kelly is handing Hannah a cute little wedding journal that she had put a pearl "S" on the front for me. Hannah used this to write down all the gifts I received.

Me and my best friend Karen. She's engaged too!!

Me and my sissy! I love her!

My sister, my mom, and I, holding my FAVE gift. It is a wooden plaque that says "Sarah & Matthew" and over that it says "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. -Joshua 24:15" LOVE IT!

My BEST friend and me. I don't know what I'd do without her.

Like I said. No detail was too small. They used a LIME GREEN (one of our wedding colors) blanket to cover up the random stuff in the corner! Hehehe. Love it.

I am so so SO blessed to have friends like these. I thank God for them!

Much Love,

My Bridal Shower Invitations!

Like I mentioned in my last post, my best friend is A-MA-ZING! Completely.

I'm having two bridal showers. One in Louisville, for my family members. And one in Nashville for friends. My best friend Kelly has pretty much planned the whole thing for the Nashville shower. I know she has gotten some input from my sister, my maid of honor. But for the most of it, she's done it. I just got my invitation today.

She wouldn't tell me anything about it. She told me that she got stuff to make it, one day. Then a week or so later she said she was picking them up! I was so confused. But now I see how amazing she is!

LIME GREEN ENVELOPES!!! She's so good. Notice that the stamp is purple! Oh, and she has great handwriting! So lovely,

PURPLE! She's so good. See the orchid at the top? It goes with the orchid in our picture! LOVE it! (Photos taken by my sister, Hannah)

It's kinda hard to read the poem from this pic, so here it is:

The dress is bought, the church reserved,

Sarah's getting married, haven't you heard?

The flowers are exquisite; the cake is divine.

Can we reign Sarah and Mom in,

before they spend Daddy's last dime?

The date is approaching, so now it is time

To shower some gifts on this blushing Bride!

Poem written by my A-MA-ZING bestie!!

THANK YOU KELLY!!! I love you so much!

Much Love,

Wedding Timeline

I have been browsing lots and lots of wedding websites and blogs this week. I started out on theknot.com and found a forum post about DIY stuff. So I read the whole thread and looked at every person's profile or website. Which is how I ended up finding some really awesome sites!

As I was surfing through all of these amazing websites, I kept seeing wedding timelines. 5 months to go, a year to go, etc. And it made me realize. I am planning this wedding VERY quickly! Which is kinda really stressful! I have 2 months and one week to go! And compared to other brides or theknot.com I should have much more done than I do. With what I have done already, for my sanity, I should be at the 4-6 months range. Not the 2 month range!! Oy. I must be crazy.

Thankfully, I have amazing people helping me. My mom has gone with me several Saturdays to buy stuff that we need. She has been working on stuff during the week, sometimes even at her office! (SHH! Don't tell anyone!) My sister has been helpful too. She works a lot, but when I'm in town she goes with me places. Yesterday we went to David's Bridal for my fitting. She was great. I was in a lot of pain because I hurt my knee last week. She held my hands and let me lean on her while I was standing still for the alteration lady. What would I do without my sissiter?! (No that is not a spelling mistake!)

And last, but DEFINITELY not least, my bestie Kelly. She is so amazing. She has planned my bridal shower pretty much all by herself. And she lives 5 hours away! I live an hour away from where my wedding is, so it's been hard for me to do stuff. But she is amazing. I pretty much gave her free reign on the shower and bachelorette party. She's not telling me ANYTHING! I'm hoping I get my invite in the mail tomorrow. She told me she mailed them Saturday and my mom and sister have already gotten their's! (I think my mailman is hiding my mail though... That's for another day.)

I am very thankful for these amazing women in my life. I honestly wouldn't be where I am today if it weren't for them.

Much Love,
