Here Comes the Bride
The song that I will come down the aisle to is not the traditional bridal march or the famous Pachelbel's Canon in D. The song that my father will give me away on is more beautiful than either of those to me. Enjoy
Mr. A and I do not have any honeymoon plans as of yet. We wil probably go somewhere warm during my Winter or Spring Break. However we will be front row the next night at the Teena Marie & Charlie Wilson concert!
Bridesmaid Dresses-the Remix
The colors for the wedding took a slight turn after my mom and I selected the linens. The color scheme that I originally had in mind was ivory and a plum/magenta color. The linens we selected were more of a burgundy color, so we changed the colors to burgundy and ivory. As a result the dresses had to be changed too.
My Matron of Honor and one of my bridesmaids (Mr. A's oldest daughter) will wear this dress from David's Bridal:

12 days and counting...
There is so much going on in my life right now that I just want to scream!
The wedding is less than two weeks away, and I'm overwhelmed with emotion! Here's why:
The wedding is less than two weeks away, and I'm overwhelmed with emotion! Here's why:
- My dear MOH, my cousin, called me about a month ago to say she wouldn't be able to be in the wedding. Then she wasn't even sure if she would be able to attend. She lives in out of state and didn't have the money for the ticket or dress. Ummmmmmmmmmmm, how long have you known about my wedding? Thankfully, my sister-in-law (step-brother's wife) has stepped in to save the day. Fortunately my cousin has gotten her plane ticket; ate least she will be in attendance.
- Mr. A's youngest daughter's were going to be in the wedding, but their re-married mother and her drama decided they could not attend the wedding. Now the girls are back in the wedding because their crazy mother came to her senses just five weeks before the wedding. Hopefully, she won't change her mind because we've already ordered their dresses.
- I feel like an oompaloompa! Kanye's workout plan was a flop
- People do not have the common courtesy to RSVP either way even though the response card had a space for those who would and those who would not attend. At least make use of the stamp on the response card! GEESH!
- People who did not RSVP were called, emailed, or sent a text message. Those people who still did not respond can KISS MY GRITS! And please do not just show up because you will be not be allowed in!
Other than that things are starting to come along...

Bridezilla in 1...2...3....
Don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge!!!
1) Remember the excitement from my last wedding update? Well, it is gone at this moment. Why do you ask? Well, it seems that the public official that is a member of an organization to which my dad is a member will not be able to perform our wedding ceremony! He was going to do it for free, and it was going to be fantastic! Well, I now know why he was willing to perform the ceremony free of charge and why he will no longer be able to serve as officiant. It seems the Mayor of Ecorse has been INDICTED of fraud, bribery, and conspiracy. Clearly, he didn't need our money since he's been stealing it from others throughout his stint as mayor. However, his alleged wrongdoings have now left me without an officiant. Check out the article below:
2) Mr. A is clearly working my nerves right now because he doesn't think I should be concerned about registering for gifts. He wants money--money is great ;) However, there are some people who much rather prefer to buy gifts than give cash. Plus, there are some things that I want/we need, and it doesn't make sense not to register for them in hopes of getting $$$ just to spend the $$$ on those necessities.
3) Bridal shower: the tentative date is 10/24...one month away. I need to send out invitations, but if the location has yet to be determined [DRAMA] how can I send them out?
4) Riesling...

Forward Progress :)
It's been a long time since I've blogged, so let me give you the rundown on what's happened since our last meeting.
Mr. A an I have decided on a church for the ceremony. Thank God. The cost of the church is only $150 without the use of clergy. Since my dad is a member of the Lion's Club, he has called upon his fellow member to be the officiant for our wedding ceremony. This gentleman is the mayor of a nearby town. It seems that a public official can legally conduct the wedding ceremony if the county of the ceremony an the officials public service are one in the same. This is the case. The last that I checked this gentleman said he would perform the service free of charge (that equals dinner and drinks at the reception) as long as his schedule is clear. What are you really doing the day after Thanksgiving? Prayerfully nothing.
Yesterday, Mr. A and I selected his wedding band. It is currently in the lay-a-way.
What we need to do within the next week or two is register. I could probably do this by myself (and I may if Mr. A keeps procrastinating). However, I would like to have him involved in the process even though when I told him we needed to register, he said "for what? Stuff like candles?" Umm, not quite candles dear....
I'm supposed to be on Kanye's Workout Plan, but since school started last week and I'm back to school myself I have not been on a strict schedule. I'm thinking about getting a trainer within the next week or so. I like being on a schedule; it helps me focus.
