I had my first nightmare about the wedding last night. In my dream I had neglected to hire a photographer for the wedding, forgot to rent a reception hall and hadn't arranged to have ushers at the ceremony. I was crying and we decided that we would just cancel and have a re-do the next weekend. Random, I know!
I do have a couple updates though!! We set a date!!! We are still waiting for our confirmation in the mail, but they assured it was open. January 3, 2009 is the big day!!! It's not quite my New Years Dream wedding, but it is close and it will be beautiful. I am starting to get anxious and the fact that it is still 15-1/2 months away is just DUMB!! Oh well, plenty of time to change my mind right???
Anyways, I have been wanting to tell someone about this so badly, but we are trying to keep it quiet to surprise our parents. So, shhhh don't tell anyone! The local jeweler that Derek purchased my ring from has a special line of jewelry that is designed and manufactured for a cause, all the profits are donated to Breast Cancer research!! You all know how important this cause is to me and the fact that Derek went out of the way to include this in purchasing my ring means the world to me. Anyways, Derek brought me into the jeweler this weekend to show me the wedding band that he had designed from this collection. It is a thicker band with princess cut diamonds and pink sapphires. Hard to explain, but it is gorgeous and very fitting. I can't wait to tell my Dad, it will mean so much to him. I am very excited about supporting this cause in planning my wedding.
On the WW front, I am still OP. I hate to sound boring, but with school I have no other choice. I have my lunch bag packed everyday with the right amount of points and there is no opportunity to snack. The weekend was a little relaxed, I didn't count points, but I really didn't eat a lot and everything I did eat was low in points. Hopefully the scale reads a little closer to goal tomorrow morning!!!

That's amazing. How sweet is it that Derek bought your ring from a Breast Cancer supporter? And the pink sapphires in the band will be unique, amazingly appropriate, and really pretty.
It's obvious that you two were made for each other. I'm so happy for you! It sounds like you got a great guy.
What are your colors going to be? You're going to have to do some sort of web cast of it or something! :o)
(sorry - I get waay too excited about weddings!) :o)
Have a great day!!
I'm with dazey on this one....I need a webcast of the ceremony. I LOVE weddings. Or maybe I can find a cheap airline ticket..... ;)
I think it's absolutely amazing that Derek went so far out of his way to support your cause and all the effort he put into your ring. That's just simply amazing. He obviously cares about you so much and what you believe in...you were definitely made for each other!
That is one of the coolest things I have ever heard. What a wonderful guy!!!
I had a 14 month engagement and it was perfect. Time will fly by. Enjpy the process and if I haven't recommended it yet definitely read the Conscious Bride, it is a great book and I think every engaged woman should read it.
As for the jeweler, I love it tha tis so amazing and how great that your honey thought of and encluded that when selecting your ring. I love hearing about couples who are really in-tune with each other.
Wish I had a cure for the nightmares, just remember that they are NOT real :).
