I cannot believe my time has come. Even as I sit and write the words, it is still so surreal. I've been on an emotional roller coaster for two weeks. I close this chapter of my life with nothing but great memories, and anticipate the next with excitement, love and hope for our future together.
I have loved every minute of planning. My engagement was some of the best times of my life. I bonded with my mother (she is my angel from God), and my BMs never let me down. I had the best shower, bachelorette party, etc that a girl could ever wish for. Some people thought I was nuts to have 12 BMs, but I consider myself lucky. They have been my biggest cheerleaders, and their support and enthusiasm has made this time even more special for me. THANK YOU LADIES.
This web site has been an unbelievable resource for me. I got a ton of ideas from you ladies that I know is going to make my wedding stand out from the rest. In addition, it was the best sounding board a bride could need. Where else can you chat incessantly over nothing but weddings?? I never felt petty or 'Bridezillaish' when discussing my planning with you girls. I think you all are an amazing group of women. Your support of me and everyone here is so generous. I've never seen so many women ready to offer help and advice to people they barely know. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING. My FH may dislike you : ), and people outside of this LIW family def don't get it, but I do.
To some of my original 06ers - Preshy, Goldi, Leese, Kissy, Kath (Beautyq115), Hollie (hmpena), CindyandKevin, LaurenluvsTJ, Janna (BKtoLI), SweetCin, Jamie (MayBride06), KellyBride, MrsStefan, SIBride, Jenn2999 (I hope I didn't forget anyone!) Thanks for sticking around. Thanks for all of the advice, support and ideas. Special thanks for cjb88 for being my DIY coach and for all the HM advice. THANKS!
To my cousins KL805 and Lauren16 ? thanks for showing me the LIW ropes. Friday is going to be GREAT. J.O. wants to kill you, but this site was such a great outlet for me. I only hope my day is as beautiful as yours were!
To my work planning buddy - Lauren09- you're next! Thanks for always taking the time to listen to my to do lists, and ask how everything was. You were an unbelievable support for me, and a great friend.
To Conigs25 - I love you girlfriend. You are truly the sister I never had. I know I keep saying this, but it was really so appropriate for us to plan this chapter together. I know it meant so much to our moms, and I really loved having a best friend like you to plan with. I'll cherish the all the phone conversations, talks, GTGs, etc. Even the worrying (I think we finally LOVE our dresses. Again.). My only regret is that I will not be here for you in your final weeks of planning, but I will see you on the 8th for your Bachelorette, and of course I am ALL YOURS the week of. July 14 is going be as beautiful as June 23. I love Matt, and wish you both the best!
THAT'S IT MY LOVELIES! To my date twins- enjoy! I promise to be back with tons of pics and to see the rest of you ladies off! THANK YOU!!!
Love,
Kris
