Hi Friends,

So I know that I have been gone for about 3 weeks...but the weeks leading up to the wedding were ridiculous, and so I took the honeymoon and this past week to just enjoy my new hubby. We are slowly settling into our new home together, and enjoying being able to see each other every day. He brings me to work in the morning, and even brought me lunch the other day! I'm liking this husband deal already.

Here's a few teaser pics of our wedding from my sister.

Last week Friday I had my hair and makeup trials done, as well as some photos in my Indian outfit - this style is called a lengha. We had a lot of fun and had the most perfect day to do them. It made me so excited for the wedding because it made everything seem so much more real, and also gave me confidence that the wedding day will go smoothly.

Here's a few photos that I got back from my photographer as a little preview. I hope you like them!

The days are getting longer, the countdown is getting closer. Things are getting crazy up in here!
The wedding is 4.5 weeks away and I can't even believe it. It still doesn't seem real. We get our apartment this weekend and then it all happens after that. Family is going to start flying in, more showers and lots of things to put on my daily agenda.
So here's what my life has looked like lately and my to do this for this week still. (that's right this week only, there's much more coming once April hits!)

Send out thank you cards from showers Meet with Band to coordinate reception music
Consultation with baker /taste test cupcakes 
Rent backdrops/ arrange setup
Book transportation to airport
Buy centrepiece and ceremony vases
Plan the Mendhi (henna) party
First Dress fitting
Dance lesson(s)
Finish stationary DIY's
Buy gifts for wedding party
P/U marriage license paperwork
Get travel insurance and shots for honeymoon
Finalize ceremony songs/readings
Order flower garlands for Indian ceremony

Since the wedding is almost 5+ months away, the pressure is on to start planning all the details of the day. So here are the plans for the ceremony thus far.
For as long as I can remember, I have had this picture saved. It's never been one of those things I "had-to-have", but it turns out I'm going to have this little slice of heaven for myself after all!

The Knot

Check out my post from this week on The Budget Savvy Bride about finding "The One" (the dress). Apparently my photo went viral on Pinterest too! Pretty weird to see myself on there.
