So I am officially announcing that I am getting married (back on again) this Saturday March 21. This is going to be a low key wedding with very few friends and family attending. Marcus and I realized the best thing for us would be to get married on the date that we want and that we have been planning for a year. We are using our non-refundable deposit to pay for the least expensive wedding.

With that said, I’d LOVE for anyone who wants to, to watch this wedding live on the internet. Just go to www.littlechapel.com on March 21st at 12:30 PM PST (PST is three hours behind EST, and 2 behind MST?) and click on Guests > Make sure you are on March 21 and then scroll down and find “McGuffey…” and viola you should be able to watch! I am trying to get where I can have it playing for more than just the one time but try to be there at the time designated so you can watch!

This will be my last post until after our honeymoon, so I hope you all can watch and I will definitely post TONS of pictures and TONS of blogging when I get back!

Sometimes I wish I could go back to the days when I was six and my biggest
problem was what kind of dress to put on my Barbie’s or whether or not I had
enough Lego’s to build a fort.- Unknown

Yesterday I had to make perhaps the most difficult choice of my life thus far: Postpone my wedding, which is a month from now. Money was the biggest issue by far. I had begun to sacrifice aspects of my wedding that I absolutely wanted to be included due to money and because of that, the wedding became something I didn’t like. Not to mention, since Marcus doesn’t have a job yet, it made it really hard to continue on with the wedding when we had bills and rent to be paid. It’s the biggest decision I’ve made and I am somewhat content with it right now. Of course as the “original” day gets closer, I’ll probably become more and more depressed but hopefully I can manage to think positively in the upcoming months.

The good things that have come from it is that, I can plan my wedding, as I want and not have to make it feel rushed or downsized because of money. Marcus and I are quite determined to save every last bit of money, because we don’t want to go through this again. The upsides also include that I have my dress (though It will suck if I lose weight..), my ring, some of my accessories, wedding favors, etc. Plus we are possibly moving the location to Phoenix or up here in Flagstaff and hopefully I can thoroughly enjoy the planning rather than become stressed and daunted by it.

With that said, I hope that I can pick up the pieces and the best part of it all is that I still have Marcus. Oh and we are still going on our cruise

So, I didn’t mention, that I bought my wedding dress. FINALLY. it only took 8 months -_-

The thing is, I cannot gain ANY weight. I can’t even really lose any weight either. The dress fits PERFECTLY, when I wear the corset, my spanx and the slip. and of course sucking it in. (not bad though, only to get in it lmao). Buying my dress (which only cost $299, oh DB how I love thee sales) made me realize. WHY on EARTH does anyone buy a super expensive dress to wear it ONE DAY. Can someone please explain that may have bought an expensive dress? I mean, I know, it’s like your special day, you wanna look AWESOME, but really? a $1,000 dress? I am not knocking anyone who bought a dress like that, but I could never afford it myself to just wear.it.once.

However, my friend was telling me about some friends she knows that on her 1st year anniversary got pictures taken in her dress in very uncommon places, like horseback riding, in the lake, rock climbing, on the green, and pretty much any other place she could “get it dirty”. I am considering doing that. I also want to preserve my dress, for god knows what. If I don’t have any daughters, I might consider donating my dress as well. I don’t know we will see what happens.

Oh wedding. please come soon and swiftly.
