All of my friends and clients who have been through the whole “I’m Getting Married” Phase of their lives have ALL told me that at some point in the planning process you begin to have crazy dreams about your wedding. I woke up this morning in a cold sweat from my first official wedding nightmare.
My photographer did not show up and I saw on Instagram that he was at another wedding, Michael and I never picked out our first dance song so the DJ took it upon himself to pick “Funk Soul Brother,” and I ended up not hiring a videographer so I spent the entire evening running around with my point ‘n shoot camera asking people to record the festivities. I was so frustrated because my guests had the nerve to be put out by this and they had no clue how to use my camera.
Needless to say, I will be emailing a few vendors today and forcing Michael to help me pick our wedding song. Funny thing is, exactly 4 months from this moment I will be at The Chamberlin, drinking Mimosas with my girls and getting my hair-did. Time is flying by!
Speaking of hair and makeup and my sparkly wedding… last night I went to one of my newest, dearest friend’s house for some wine, pizza, and girl time. Scratch that. First we went to Ulta and spent some dough on semi-needed makeup. Then we had girl time. And she did my nails.
I have always been impressed by her DIY “Home Salon” Gel Nails. In a moments notice she busted out the whole set up… the neon light thingy, the work station board and light, professional nail cutters and shapers. And don’t forget her slew of color and pattern options! I decided to go with the gold sparkle ombre look. Because let’s be real… I love me some gold glitter.
This was when the UFO landed in the backyard. Jay Kay. My nails were baking in that neon thinga-ma-bob. And many thanks to the person who let me out of the bell tower… I’m all Hunchback of Bad Posture in this one. Time to sit up straight!!
Not to bad right? I am in love with the ombre look and have decided this may be a contender for my wedding nails. I did tell her though, next time we are definitely doing a purple coat under the gold ombre for a legit JMU manicure.
I hope you all have a lovely Tuesday. I am heading to Washington DC for a job “meet and greet.” More on that later though.
And let’s not forget the pit stop to visit my soon-to-be sister-in-law and my soon-to-be nephew who is just a mere 9 days old! The G-fam is growing! Can’t wait to meet the little guy!
