Well unfortunatly the worst has happened. I never dreamed that planning a wedding would get this hard and STRESSFUL. My reception venue (which we chose the church and everything around) is going bankrupt. I have ordered my invitations, save the dates, and paid for the church and reception venue in full. The church refunded our money, but we are still waiting to hear what the reception venue is going to do with our refund, if anything. Unfortunatly we may never see that money again and it wasn't pocket change :(

I know God has a plan for everything and I am praying he will give me the strength to get through this mess. In the end I will be married to my best friend no matter if we have the reception in our backyards (yeah that's not gonna happen but it sounded good).

We moved the wedding ceremony to our home church at First Baptist in Terry. Since it's our church home, I think everything will be easier. As far as the reception we are looking into everything! Being the week before Christmas, a lot of venues are booked for Christmas parties and such.

We have high hopes that everything will be fine and we have put it in God's hands as we should. I have never felt so confused in my life and planning a wedding shouldn't be this stressful. It should be a happy time and right now it isn't, but in the end everything will be beautiful just as I've always dreamed it would. I just pray it happens fast. I have had a lot of help, thoughful and uplifting words from family and friends, and best of all my mother and soon to be mother and law have really pulled through and been a HUGE help and stress reliever!! Thank you to everyone who has helped me and Adam through this stressful and hard rut.

I have been told that I needed a blog to keep everyone updated on our wedding plans! So here it is. I hope i don't bore everyone to death. The wedding is about six months out so be prepared for a lot of my venting to you.

I am so excited and cannot wait to FINALLY marry my best friend. We have only been together nine years now so I believe it's about that time! Since the wedding is getting closer I am trying to finalize every detail. Well it's a little hard when you have absolutly NO idea what you want. I change my mind every day. I know I've said I wish I would have just eloped and been done with it, but I have truely enjoyed most of the planning. It has been stressful, but it has also been a lot of fun! Adam and I had our first "wedding party" last month so our friends in the wedding could get to know each other. For the most part we had a good time, minus a few mishaps :/ Here are a few pictures of the party!
