My Wedding Dress...and other things!

Hi there!

The past two weeks have been INSANE in terms of the wedding and personal life. But there has been a lot progress made and a clearer sense of how Mr.Golden and I want to map out the beginning of our life as husband and wife, where we see our careers heading, and how we see that affecting us long term. Many, many decisions are in progress and the complexity of it all sometimes henders my writing. But, enough about that!

I've come bearing good news that my wedding dress is now a conception and not just magazine clippings of what I "think" I want! My mom and I went on Tuesday to the dress designer to brainstorm and pick out my desired fabric. I go back next week to see the complete sketch and sample the beading. The process of having my dress made is amazing. I naturally like to be in control and hands on with anything that involves myself, so being able to have creative input in this makes me feel assured that I'm getting my dream dress. I felt like Cinderella when the birds and mice were designing her dress, lol.

I have to admit that with the dress a reality now, this wedding is starting to feel real. Most of the time it just feels like a far away dream that's going to happen one day.

I also have a special surprise for you all. Mr. Golden has finally agreed to be a guest blogger! He was going to make his debut last week, but he is not much of a writer. Instead, he is very comical and animated, so he will be posting cartoon videos on his view of the wedding. The cartoons will be based loosely on real situations that we've talked about and things he experiences. I have to tell you that I got a sneak peak yesterday and they are HILARIOUS. I'll have them scheduled for all of next week and we'll see how that goes!
