I know this is the post that most of you have been waiting on lol! Hopefully you guys got a chance to check out my  PRE WEDDING VLOG.   By the time this goes up, we will have been officially married for over a month and it has been great. We're still trying to get situated and stuff but things have been going great so far. I'm in the process of changing my last name now. But I know you guys are here for the wedding details lol. I didn't get around to taking any pictures myself so I'm using pics that friends and family have posted on social media.  Our first post on social media as husband and wife Even though we had a few hiccups the day of the wedding, everything was amazing! It was more than I expected. I will say that I had a bit of mini meltdown right before the ceremony started because it was raining. It wasn't too hard but it wasn't supposed to rain that day. I know that when it rains on your wedding day it is supposed to be good luck but the ce...

I can't believe in 6 days I'll be officially Mrs.Johnson!!! Time has flown by so fast, its crazy! It just seems like I was just starting to plan this wedding and now it will be here!! I honestly don't know what I'm going to do with myself when I'm out of wedding planning mode lol. I know you all have been enjoying this series so much and can't wait to show you guys everything! We are now down to the last little details and things to do. We had our finalization meeting a couple weeks ago and we went over everything that is going to happen that day, I finally gave over my seating chart because it was driving me crazy lol and just what we have to do next. We were doing a walk through of where the ceremony will take place and snapped this picture of my fiance standing where we will say I do.  I felt a little something from me standing on the aisle and seeing him up there. It just felt so so-real, like this was really happening soon,  Soon to be Mr. ...

If you guys don't already know, I am getting married very soon....next month to be exact lol. It has been such an experience planning everything, the trying on of dresses, DIY projects, meetings, seating charts and so on. My fiance and I had our finalization meeting yesterday with the venue and we went over everything for the day. We asked to walk through the venue again to make sure we had everything covered. We were outside where the ceremony will take place and I was standing on the aisle and looked up to see my fiance standing a few feet in front of me. It started to really sink in that we are really getting married. After that night, it will be a new chapter in our lives as husband and wife. Now I have heard horror stories on how marriage changes people, they don't realize who they really married and let things just fall apart. I hear that marriage is work and not always easy and so on. I know everyone has a different view and experience on what marriage is or has been to...

I knew my bridal shower was coming up soon but didn't know when it was. I was wondering how they would get me out of the house and dressed for my bridal shower because most weekends, you can catch me without makeup and in comfy clothes lol. Well my Maid of Honor texted me one day last week and asked what I was doing Saturday. I responded that if you count laundry then I wasn't doing much lol. She said that she found a day party in New York to go to and wanted to know if I wanted to go. I said sure, the guys were going for their tux fitting that day anyway. She said cool and said what time we were leaving. I was pretty excited because I haven't been to New York in a while. It was Saturday and it was such a nice day. Funny thing is, I brought an outfit to wear to my bridal shower and put it on just in case that day. Even if it wasn't going on, I was still going to wear it again lol. My maid of honor picked me up and on the way she said she had to stop and make payment at...

I'm so happy that the weather is finally feeling like Spring lol! This wedding is like 2 months away and I feel like I'm missing stuff lol! I was so worried about the big stuff that I forgot all about the little things like labels, favors and such! Ahhh! I will get it together because before I know it, the big day will be here. We sent out the invitations and I love checking the mail everyday for the response cards. I'm also trying to figure out when my bridal shower and bachelorette party are going to happen, both are a surprise lol! I just want to make sure I don't show up in  my sweats with my hair looking crazy and no makeup lol! I'm sure someone will make sure I look good! We both found our shoes for the wedding! I was really trying to find the perfect pair to go with my dress. I've been online a lot and in the stores. I finally found them in Nordstrom. I was in the store with one of each of these shoes on trying to decide on a pair. I had several people c...

*Que screaming and running around like a crazy person*  I can't believe we are three months away from the big day!! It seems like yesterday we just got engaged and started making plans and now it is almost here. I'm not freaking out yet (Lies, I am on the inside lol). I just want to make sure we don't forget anything lol. It seems like it is so easy to forget something when just about everything is going on. I'm getting into the swing of things in my new position and most of my focus seems to be there at the moment but I'm making sure to keep up with everything. I recently met with my coordinators (aka My mom,aunts and cousins) to preview the centerpieces. I'm so thankful for them stepping in and helping with the decor and planning. I'll give you guys a sneak peek at the centerpieces but you won't see the full effect of everything until after the big day. Of course I drew my inspiration from Pinterest. I have spent so many hours on there and fou...

Did you enjoy all that snow we got this weekend? My son was super happy to get outside and play in the snow! Well we are six month away from the big day!! I don't think I started freaking out yet but probably will as it gets closer and closer. I put up this picture on Facebook on New Years Day with the caption Mr. and Mrs. Johnson in 2017! I have been in full wedding mode for a while and just trying to get things together, make sure we have everything and so on. The invitations have been ordered and I love them! That process was so hard! There were way too many choices to choose from and it was hard trying to narrow it down but the person who I ordered them from was super helpful! She really explained what I could and could not change on certain invitations, how my wedding colors would fit into the invites, how different fonts would look and so on. I was glad that I could make a decision because I honestly would still be looking at invitations lol. I have my centerpieces, bou...
