*NWR* Halloween

*NWR*= Not Wedding Related

 

 

Josh and I are big fans of Halloween! We have dressed up every year, and there has actually only been 1 year he did not go out with me. We also dress up Whiskey (our dog) of course!!

We've gotten more creative as the years go on!

 

Starting at the top left (2008) Scotsman,, and "St Paulie's Girl", top right (2009) Spartan, and school girl, bottom left (2010) Link and Zelda [We had a whole group of us go out at the Super Mario Smash Bros-one of the best years yet], bottom right (2011) Alice, the Mad Hatter, and the White Rabbit.

 

(2012) Flynn Ryder and Rapunzel

 

 

This year was no different, I was so excited for this Halloween, I had my costume picked and planned a few days after Halloween 2012. Josh took a little long to decide on his, but it was EPIC!!!!

Obviously we are 90's kids, that's what we grew up in, so these costumes were a testament to that. Anyone older than the 90's didn't get it and anyone younger thought it was cool, but didn't understand.

May I present:

 

Carmen San Diego & Quialman!!!! 2013

 (This is the top contender for best Halloween yet!)

My co-maids of honor cam out with us, Stephanie (on the end) was a witch, and Aubrey was Robin Hood



 



*NWR* Hockey Home Season Opener

*NWR*= Not Wedding Related

 

 

We had the FL Panther season opener on Oct 11 against the penguins. It has also been 20 years of hockey for the Panthers. I could not have been more excited for this hockey opener.

 

For the first time in 6 years I got to go to the hockey season opener with the guy I met 6 years ago while working the season opener.

 

 

That's right, for the last 5 hockey seasons (that I did not work) I went to all the season openers and most of the games with friends. I always had to sit and look for Josh working, and settle for a quick walk by kiss as he was on his way to fix something.

This year Josh was an actual guest to the hockey game. We met up with some friends and "picnicked" in the parking lot.

This momentous occasion called for something special, and Josh pulled through and got me a corsage! <3 He said this was like our own little version of prom.

 

Here are the pictures from the day, and you can tell on both our faces, we could not have been happier!

See the pretty corsage?!

 

Our seats

And to top the night off, the Panther won!

 





5 Months to Go

We are down to just 1 hand in counting, 1 hand, can you believe it!?!?!

I feel like everything is going to snowball from this point on. I am literally going to trip and it's going to be wedding day!
The snow ball effect all starts with Josh's step-sister getting married this last Saturday, and it was wonderful.
This Friday is the start of hockey season (I know, not really wedding related, but it is where we met, and it was the opener game we met at too).

There isn't my usual check list for this month:

• The ceremony venue has completed its renovation/remodel and we are planning a walk through to decide final decorations.
• I did a trail for my hair, it did not come out exactly what I wanted, so I am moving to plan B and we will try again.
• Have a final settlement on the centerpieces and a firm plan on how to attack DYI them
• We have decided what the Mothers will be given to wear on the wedding day to replace a corsage.

To continue with the snowball effect: Halloween, we are seeing Michael Buble, then one of my best friends (who is 1 of my maids of honor) and I her bridesmaid bachelorette party, then Thanksgiving, then her wedding, off to TSO after that, then my wedding crafting and DIY party, the Christmas, my bridal shower, Valentine's day, my bachelorette party, Josh's bachelor party, rehearsal and WEDDING!!!!
See I trip and its wedding day! :)
I could not be more excited though and I keep having dreams and visions of me walking down the aisle to my hunny.

Also: I am behind on my Bride Box and Josh's Birchbox. For me, I wasn't overwhelmed with my Bride Box and kind of just let it pass, hopefully this month will be better, my last box it Nov from the 6 month subscription. I may/or may not depending on time, get Josh's up this month. It was more or less the same as the other boxes, same stuff, different brands, and the "big" item wasn't anything to write about.

On another side note: When all is said and down with the wedding (and possibly honeymoon) I can turn this blog into a book as a forever keepsake!!
I believe I have mentioned this before, that this blog will not just stop after the wedding, I plan on keeping up with it through our time as newlyweds, and any adventures along the way.
