Matthew and I have set a date for the wedding! (I will post all about the proposal soon.) We will be getting married on November 2nd of this year. I started planning not even a week after Matt proposed. I, like any girl, already had millions of ideas that I have dreamed of all my life.
I have already asked my favorite girls to stand beside me on that day, and Matt knows his guys that he wants. Before a dinner date this past Saturday, Matt and I went to forever21. I picked out a pair of earrings for each girl that reminded me of their style. Most of them I had already asked informally, but I still wanted to do something nice for them. I wrote them each a card on my new stationary and tucked the earrings in envelopes that were lined in floral. Each of them have meant so much to me over the years:
Amanda "Brudda": my Matron of Honor and absolute best friend. I was in her wedding and I can't wait for her to be in mine.
Melanie: my Bridesmaid and future roommate. She has listened to me dream about my wedding since we were 15.
Ashley: my Bridesmaid and a sweet blogger. She has always been such a steady encourager.
Mandy: my Bridesmaid and second mother. We share the same heart for ministry.
Leila: my Junior Bridesmaid and Matthew's little sister. She has Matthew's heart in her hands and she's quickly stealing mine, too.
They all happily agreed to be in my wedding and I am so thrilled! Saturday, we are going to pile up and drive to Statesboro to look at wedding dresses and visit a venue. It's the first of the wedding appointments and I can barely sleep at night because I am so excited.
Thank you all in advance for what you will be to me these next 9 months and on November 2nd, 2013.

Until my next ramble,
