These are our babies. Gia and Shugga <3

<---- Here it is!!!! =)

The story of us is a very long one, a little over 8 years in the making! Jon an I met each other while serving in the military in 2003.  It has been a long and winding journey to get here, but love always does conquer all!

   This is an Oleg Cassini gown.  I fell in love with this dress about a year ago, I knew as soon as I saw it that it would be "the one".  I just ordered it in ivory/ champagne from David's Bridal.  It should be here this October! =)

I am going for a vintage look as far as jewelry. Probably a bracelet...and no necklace. I really want to do a pearl drop earring like this. I think the pearls will look great with my dress

As far as shoes... I purchased a pair that I loved and thought would go perfectly...and I do and they are great... but after I ordered them online I realized that they were only good to look at! As far as practical for the entire day. So I am on a new hunt for the perfect shoe.         

Above are the first pair.

*Update: Just won an online auction for Badgley Mischka Randee Sandals! =)

I have carefully hand selected all of my girls! My MOH is my very best friend since we were 9 years old! Then the bridesmaids are: Another two great friends Kristen who I've also know since elementary school, and Elizabeth who I met in the military in 2001. Then I have also chosen my brother Thomas' girlfriend Samantha.  Each an every one on them have effected my life in a great and positive way. I love you all!! =)

 My flower girl will be my fiance's niece Mailee. By the time of the wedding she will be 8 years old.

This will be her dress. It matches great! It is also ivory/ champagne.  This picture doesn't really do the dress any justice, it is much cuter in person.

***All of the dresses are from David's Bridal.
