Pinteresting Wedding Edition ;)

Every morning I wake up the first thing I do is put my engagement ring back on. And when I forget to put it back on after doing the dishes, a little squeak chokes out of my throat. I know I've only been wearing it for two and a half weeks, but I honestly can't stop starring at it. That's normal, right? ;)

We get married in 37 days! Holy cow. I already showed you guys my civil ceremony shoes in this post, and they happen to be from Ruche. Well guess what? I'm ALSO purchasing my dress from there as well. They recently launched a bridal collection that is so incredibly wonderful. I know, I know, I rave over this online boutique endlessly, but it really is one of my favorites. I wanted something casual and light. June 1st is summer time in my eyes (even though its really not until the 21st...only I would think of that), and I didn't want to be wearing some fancy long gown for a simple, albeit happy ceremony. I even considered wearing a fun color, like pink or blue. Then I decided I want some semblance and feeling of a typical wedding, so I decided on a white one, haha. Here it is:

I'm totally in love with it, and I happen to think its perfect for the ceremony. By the way, I was dying over the shoes in the photo, but they are all sold out. Oh well! I love the shoes I have!

Sorry if I'm boring you all with wedding stuff. But there's more. Since today's Oh How Pinteresting Wednesday, I've got some lovely wedding inspiration to share. So many ideas are bubbling in my head for our reception/party next year. Enjoy! :)

Happy Friday!

I'm linking up with Alycia over at Crowley Party for Tid Bits!

So many wonderful things are happening. First off, Jim's birthday was on Wednesday, and instead of baking him a cake, I figured, why not make some delicious noms featuring the best ingredient ever, bacon?! Of course I have no pictures. I've been slacking picture wise lately, but I made him deviled eggs with bacon, bacon and cheese potato bites, and bacon and chicken pasta with a parmesan cheese sauce. Oh man. So much bacon. Needless to say I had to exercise the following morning.

Jim and I have discussed and discussed, and we've decided to have a civil wedding ceremony. My parents are flying out, along with his foster parents, and with the four of them as witnesses, we will be married on June 1st! I cannot wait. We will be having a mock ceremony/reception next year, probably on June 1st or sometime around then. So I've got a whole year to plan, but I'm super excited to marry my best friend.

That being said, today we have an appointment at 4PM to go get our marriage license. I don't know how many people get really excited about going to get it, but I am. Maybe because its all starting to fall into place and everything is becoming real and not just an idea in my head.

SO, since we are having a civil ceremony, I picked out the most wonderful shoes. I immediately fell in love with them when I saw them, and purchased them right away. I will most likely wear a simple dress to the ceremony, and I will purchase a real wedding dress for next year. But here are the shoes!



They are not traditional wedding, and I don't care. Because, as I've said before, I'm not the traditional gal. I love them.


On another note, I haven't painted my nails in eons, and my nails aren't in the greatest shape right now, but since I've been feeling so happy, and today is Friday, I decided to paint them.

Later tonight, we are going to a place called Smashburger. Jim has been wanting to go there so we'll be checking it out. And hopefully *fingers crossed* we will be taking a little trip up to Laguna Beach tomorrow. I'll definitely stop slacking and take some pictures if we do. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!
