Yes! It really is 4 months away! Greg is still in Haiti, hopefully coming home in a week or so. *Fingers crossed* Natalia and I miss him, especially making our bowls of ice cream ;)
my bridal party picked out and ordered their dresses last week. Of course my photographer was there to snap away. I can't wait until everyone sees the dresses and shoes.. My girls are going to look super fab. The shoes I picked out for them to wear are so "Sex in the City" type shoes, and for anyone that knows even the slightest thing about me.. Knows that I ♥ them Sex in the City ladies.
Moving right along to flowers. Cmon now, you know I just LOVE talking about flowers. (Can you hear the hint of sarcasm in my voice?) Anywho, I went with my mom to pick out the flowers that my aunt is doing, and I actually fell in love with them! They are going to look great .. with the stems showing of course!
Now to beach talk :) We FINALLY decided on a honeymoon destination!
Picture the beach's in St. Lucia, the shopping in St. Marteen, snorkling in Dominica.. That will be us! I can NOT wait. I love the carribean. We do really want to go to Europe, but decided we would go when Greg comes home from his 7month deployment next year.
Next on the wedding list is narrowing down the hotels and picking a limo service.
Oh, what fun!
This weekend will be filled with doing the bridal registery at Target and a couple other places. My family in MD is throwing me a bridal shower in April, and my family & friends here are throwing me one in May. Needless to say, it is going to be a busy couple months!
Im signing off now. Gotta finish watching Natalia and I's fav show - American idol :)

Opposites attract?
Hahaha this title fits... So Greg & I don't really have much in commen.. except the MAJOR things that you look for in a partner. We have mostly the same value's, same thoughts on marriage and children.. you know.. all the important stuff. Everything else? Not at all..
I started off tonight not being able to sleep and grabbing my laptop hoping that google would automatically pop up my dream honeymoon so I wouldn't have to decide. I even tried typing best honeymoon and hitting the "Im lucky" button. Didn't end up too lucky.. it came up with Puerto Rico.. Not what I had in mind. Okay..pass on the honeymoon deciding tonight!
So... not long after that im looking up the weather, reading the latest gossip, and then I'm reading about my favorite baseball team.. THE YANKEE's!!!. After the sight of Derek Jeter, im totally hooked to their website! I realized that through all my fan gear.. I don't have a stanless steel travel mug. How could that be? So..of course I HAD to order it :) Oh, I know. Greg and I are like bitter rivals when it comes to baseball. He's a diehard Baltimore fan..While I am glued to the TV anytime the yankee's grace my flat screen. It's so bad that he will not even drink out of my yankee cup from the cabinet. He would rather die of thirst then to put his lips on my beautiful blue and white cup. Juuuuust Wait until Greg comes home to my fabulous new travel mug. I might even pick him up from the ship drinking my favorite Wawa coffee out of it. How perfect ♥
Anyways, we are like that with almost everything that is not a major "dealbreaker." We can't really agree on the same music, most of the time movies, and even what city we love most in the US.. (NYC of course!!) What we can agree on.. is that we can't wait to get married and go on our honeymoon.. Where ever we decide that may be!
I'm drifting off of the wedding planning talk! How could I!? Right now we are in the step of checking out the hotels around the reception for guests and booking a group rate. Pretty boring step, but has to be done!
My amazing bridesmaids will be trying on and ordering their dresses this Thursday!
Im signing off for tonight. Until next time,
Future MARRIED yankee lover ;)

I promised!
Okay.. I promised some wedding details.. or talk ;)
I never thought that I would ever be asked some of the things that I have had to answer when I said "yes, I'll marry you!" ♥
Today it was, "Do you want you want the flower bouquet's to show the stems at the bottom, or do you want them wrapped in ribbon?" I mean.. are these real questions?! I thought they just came a certain way. Let me jump 3 spaces back! My aunt is doing all my flowers, and I appreciate ALL the help she is giving, it means millions. I guess I never thought wedding planning was so much work. It's like a second job! I really just walk to put my dress on, walk down the aisle, and say I do :)
Yes, I know that there are so many other details that come with that.. trust me, im getting very used to it. I should change my law major to wedding planning ... or not! But all joking aside- it really is stressful and time consuming and overwhelming! But looking on the outside, I will have been a part of every decision of our day ... right down to whether the stems of the flowers show, or they are wrapped in ribbon (love you Aunt Patsy!)
Another one of the exciting moments that I am waiting for is to go to the bakery in Baltimore and do the cake tasting! You know how much I love cake :) Plus I get to design the wedding cake. It's so exciting. I am all about that aspect of the wedding planning!
Oh! The honeymoon! Uhhhhhhhhh! That's the best way to describe how I feel about that! We still haven't made a formal- set in stone- decision. That will come soon! I will definitely keep you updated on that! We are still deciding - carribean cruise, week in St. Thomas, week in Paris, week in Rome.. the list goes on! Thank goodness for travel agents!
Some of the little decisions, my mom has been helping me with. She, and most people know, that I am a procastinator! Not just a normal one.. Procrastionation is not my middle name..but my first! However, I will say that I did not procastinate on wedding dress :-)
Until next time,
Future Mrs.

My promises
Today my blog is going to be free of wedding talk! I truly realize why they say that getting married tops the list of reasons for stress!
Tonight I am going to make my blog of promises to my future husband, my sailor, Gregory Whiteside :)
#1- I promise to TRY to cook you regular dinners at least 3 times a week! I don't promise that you will always like it, and when I fail at cooking roast (like tonight- good thing you are not home to see it) I promise to make it up by cooking my amazing italian dishs!
#2- I promise to make you watch Sex & the City at least once a month.
#3- I promise to not tell everyone how much you secretly love it ;)
#4- I promise to always support your goals and dreams, no matter how crazy or odd I think they are (like becoming a high school teacher!)
#5- I promise to make the bed.
#6- I promise that some days, I will forget to make the bed!
#7- I promise to always push you to be the best that I know you can be, and will stay up as late as you want helping you study for promotions, or tests.
#8- I promise that every once in a while I will let you listen to your music in the car.
#9- & with that, I promise to still try to get you to love R&B as much as I do ♥
#10- I promise that I will probably run late for everything.
#11- I promise to not be longer than 20 minutes late to our wedding ;)
#12- I promise to only watch one General Hospital episode per night .. Okay- maybe 2!
#13- I promise to pretty much always be a late sleeper.
#14- I promise always be faithful to you.
#15- I promise to never lie.
#16- I promise to be your best friend.
#17- I promise that at times you will irritate, frusterate, or annoy me.
#18- I promise that it will only last a short time!
