The Wedding #1

If you all recall on February 13th, the mister proposed to me. It was one of the best days of my life. I was on my way to becoming Mrs. Williams. Before the proposal I had my wedding all planned out. We were getting married at Sunset on Miami Beach. Then having big reception/party with all our family and friends.




Well once the reality set in that I will actually get the chance to plan the perfect wedding, I realized my plans have changed drastically. I no longer want to get married on the beach. The idea of having sand between my toes in my beautiful wedding dress just does not tickle my pickle. Not only that, a beach wedding is very casual & I am way to saddity for that. I need my guest to be dressed like this is the prom. I need everything to be formal, except my Groom & groomsmen shoes. *They are wearing Converse. LOL Don't judge me!* I am not the Cinderella kind of Bride but I really need things to be as formal as possible.

Then comes the guestlist.... My family is huge! My grandmother has 11 kids & all of them have 2 or more kids. Can we say grandma & grandpa were busy? LOL No but seriously just my family alone was about 100 people. Then all of my close friends. My guestlist was at about 150 people by myself. Damn! Of course I can't forget the misters family & friends. Although most of his family is in Dominica we still want to atleast invite them. So his list is at about 100 people. That brings our guestlist to about 250 people. O_O Let's do the math. Since I am saddity & want only the best most of the reception venues I like charge about $75-$100 a plate. For 250 plates, that's ranges from $18,750 to $25,000. This does not include all the other charges they add on just to get your money.



So what's a girl to do? How do I get my guestlist down from 250-150 people without hurting anyones feelings? Is it a good idea to elope? How about a destination wedding? That is sure to cut the guestlist down. But do we really want to leave so many people out of our big day? How about just going to the Justice of the Peace and handling it there? Planning this weddng is getting to be a bit much. But thank God I have over a year to plan it. Let's see what happens from here.

The Challenge

"Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory. -- George S. Patton"


Yours truly has been issued a challenge by one of my faves:

Starrla Monae

to post one blog a day for the month of August....
Oh my this will be hard because I work 12 hour shifts & sometimes I can't even remember my name let alone to post a blog but I will try my best. This should be fun because everyday something exciting happens in my life & I am always dying to share but I never find the time. But this month I will so sit back & enjoy!

Deuces

I'm in my feelings once again & I can't understand for the life of me why people lie. I think that I am the most understanding and forgiving person ever but at the same time don't take all that as a weakness. I do it because I love you. But if you don't love me enough to tell me the truth I can't be bothered. If you can't get it together then I will just have to do like Chris Brown and throw up them Deuces!

Oh this goes for anyone that feels the need to lie to me or try to play me. I am not the one. When you get on my shit list, it is hard to get off.

In my feelings

Lately I have really been in my feelings. And if you really know me then you would kinda know why. My emotions are on serious roller coaster & I feel sorry for anyone that decides to jump on. Right now I am feeling like Madonna in Take A Bow....






It gets me everytime. Enjoy

His Gratefulness

On this beautiful Sunday Morning I just want to share one of my favorite gospel songs. Hezekiah Walker Grateful. I love this song. It says all the things that I'm feeling.

I am grateful for the things that you have done.
Yes I'm grateful for the victories we've won.
I could go on, and on, and on about your works
Because I'm grateful, grateful so grateful just to praise you Lord
Flowing from my heart, Are the issues of my heart
His Gratefulness


I am grateful for all the things that God has done for me & continues to do for me. That gratefulness is flowing from my heart. Thank you Lord for it all. I am forever Grateful.

Sunset in the Keys

A little over three months ago I got the biggest surprise of my life. It was Valentine's weekend and love was in the air. The mister & I decided to drive down to the keys for the weekend and oh how I love the keys. That Saturday morning we both had a few errands to run and we decided that we would leave Miami at 12 noon. Of course I wasn't even home at 12 and the mister was pissed. When I finally got home at 2 he was going in on how I am always late. And how I need to grow up because it makes no sense that we still hadn't left Miami. He has something to do in the Keys and I am making him late. While he talking all this noise I am taking my time packing for the weekend for King & I as well as trying to book us a hotel room over looking the water. For some reason I couldn't book the room and the mister is getting even more upset. We finally leave the house and drop King off with my brother and are on the road around 3. The entire ride the mister has an attitude but who the hell cares. I was driving so I had my iPod on Shuffle as he slept in the passenger seat. It was really cold in Miami this winter so we were both bundled up on the ride down. When we finally made it to the keys it was around 6. We drove around looking for a ocean view hotel room but everyone was booked. Around 630 we finally got a room at The Southernmost Point hotel, which is absolutely beautiful by the way. We get the key and take are luggage to the room. As we are settling in, I look out of the window & see the most beautiful sunset ever.


Me: Babe look at how beautiful the sunset is.
Mister: Let's go out to the Pier to see it.
We walking out the room to the pier and I am stopping taking pictures like a straight tourist and here goes his attitude again.
Mister: Hurry your ass up before we miss the sunsets.
Me: Whatever boy! *Snaps picture of myself* LOL
We finally get to the pier and there are several people looking out at the sunset. And of course I am still taking pictures.
Mister: Take a picture of me.
Me: Ok *Snap*
Then I try to take a picture of the both of us and this older couple walks up and ask if they can take a picture of us.
Me: Sure *As I walk over to them with the camera and show them how to use it*
Grab a Kleenex because the next part will make you cry. LOL
As I turn to walk next the mister for pictures it happened...

The moment I had been waiting for...

The mister was down on one knee with a box in his hand...

Me: Oh my God, Oh My God, Oh My God are you serious?
Mister: *smiling from ear to ear* Yes I'm serious. WILL YOU MARRY ME?
Me: Oh my God, Oh My God, Oh My God!!!!! At this point I can't remember what hand to give him but I am still in shock because this can't be happening.
Mister: Babe give me your hand.
My mind finally registers that it is the left hand so I give it to him. He takes the ring out the box and slips in on my finger.
Mister: WILL YOU MARRY ME?
Me: YES, YES, YES I will marry you! *insert lots & lots of tears here* LOL

Can you believe it? The Mister and I are getting married. All my life I have dreamed about how my engagement would be but never in a million years could I have imagined it would be any more perfect than it was at Sunset on February 13th, 2010. I love this man with all my heart and can't wait to become Mrs. Williams.

Love all over me

My friend Tiff sent me a ringtone of my girl Monica's Love all over me. I must say that has got to be my favorite song on the album. I love it because at this point in my life, that is exactly how I feel. I have never been so happy in my life or felt so loved.
